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."Good data encryption and data masking features."
"Has a great Big Data Intelligence feature."
"I think IMB's technical support is good."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and data-level access control."
"Ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"Our ability to see when users are accessing sensitive data."

"IBM Guardium Data Protection is very good at keeping your database secure."
"The product is stable."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"We've had some issues recently that we're working through, on the agent software that runs on the databases."
"Needs nore cloud support."
"The most important requirements for us are integration with new database solutions and the ability to manage things like Jailbreak or something like that. Its reduction feature can also be improved. It has a functionality called reduction, which is like masking data, but it is just a replacement of characters. Sometimes the customer needs more than this. It would be good if it was more advanced or complete. We also have a problem with this solution because the IBM aggregator isn't working very well. IBM has created big data intelligence for Guardium, and occasionally, customers need three or four months of data, but they can't run it from the collectors. It can have a better dashboard and more pre-defined use cases for those customers who don't have any idea about data protection or don't have expert personnel in this area. For example, they can include five use cases for banks and five use cases for retail."
"I would like to see AI and machine learning added in the future."
"I would like to be able to upgrade appliances within major versions without needing to rebuild the appliance."
"IBM Guardium Data Protection is a mature product. There is a lot of encryption that is not owned by IBM and is done by a third party and is not an integral part of the solution."
"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."
"Can't be used for a NoSQL database, which is limiting."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
