Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of this product are activity monitoring on the database servers, discovery capabilities, and vulnerability scanning."
"We now have the ability to begin to understand how people, applications, and service accounts are interacting with data to better protect it."
"The platform provides data protection from internal and external threats."
"Good data encryption and data masking features."
"It provides us regulatory compliance proof and evidence for audit."
"It tests security to support SOX compliance."
"Ability to define reports based on SQL query, especially when you have complex report criteria."
"he solution offers trouble-free access."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ability to track activity including the SQL statements is definitely valuable. I really like how the database is laid out. It's straightforward. I can query the back-end tables. I've made a few of my own email alerts based on the data and the tables. It's accessible."
"The tool can track logins and login failures. I made my own alert so that if there is a certain number of login failures for a server, it emails me. That is really useful. If I want logins to automatically lock out after a certain number of failed attempts, I can know when that happens."
"There are features like end-to-end and S-TAP mapping, and the ability to install policies for your configuration builder. They're not there, but we'd like to see them in the next version."
"The price of this solution is quite high for smaller organizations, so they should release a version that is affordable for small and medium-sized businesses."
"I would like to be able to upgrade appliances within major versions without needing to rebuild the appliance."
"The solution could be improved for NoSQL databases."
"Can't be used for a NoSQL database, which is limiting."
"Personally, I would not recommend this product."
"I would like them to support cloud services."
"They could enable the out-of-the-box feature to track application user activity."
"I submitted a ticket (last year) about archiving/grooming of old records because the GUI functionality was not working. Per their recommendation, I ended up using a command line to do it."
"What would really a good thing is if you could refer to an external list or table for filtering on, say, certain applications, IP addresses, or host names; or perhaps even combinations of host name and application name."
"There is an agent that collects the data on SQL Server. Sometimes it will stop collecting. I'm not exactly sure what's happening but I have to go in and manually restart the agent. It would be nice if the central collection server could send a request to the agent to restart."
"The set up is kind of clunky, in my opinion. It's not really intuitive. If they had either a smoother install or better instructions, that would be nice."
"Its filtration and navigation are not the best."
