"The platform provides data protection from internal and external threats."
"It has automated a bunch of manual tasks, giving us insights into activities that we would not otherwise be able to capture."
"The possible number of databases and database servers which can be monitored by Guardium is high. For me, this is a differentiator of IBM."
"The reporting side is also very, very good, especially its flexibility which allows you to tailor the reports to whatever information you want."
"I rate Guardium 10 out of 10 for data activity monitoring and nine for vulnerability assessment. It's easy to implement and does its job. But I would rate it seven out of 10 in terms of advanced features."
"IBM Guardium Data Protection is very good at keeping your database secure."
"The product has proven to be flexible"
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."
"Since we are resellers we do not have enough information about the technical aspects and the areas of improvement. However, one consistent report that we receive from our customers is that IBM does not offer timely support due to the size of the organisation. It would be great if they could improve their response time."
"Could be more user friendly; deployment is a little complex."
"The backup and recovery is very resource-hungry and requires a huge amount of storage capacity."
"The one thing that I would like to see improved, but I don't think it's going to be in the next release, is its reporting capabilities. I think that's been offloaded to another third-party product that I think IBM actually endorses for that."
"It will not go as fast as you want. "
"Initially it did not have support external applications like, say, Tableau, ServiceNow, Remedy, and the like. They have started growing into it, but I would like to have more and more integration with outside applications."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
