Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This is a stable product.""The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank.""They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support.""It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers.""The integration is great.""The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super.""The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises.""Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."

"This solution helps our clients to monitor their database use, and detect violations of the policy.""Transfer and vulnerability scanning are the most valuable features of this product.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can have a good view which is provided with a proper division of all your databases, which you can see in Trustwave DbProtect."

Cons
"The interface is not user-friendly.""I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process.""SecureSphere activity log can be used with Imperva CounterBreach in an effort to protect enterprise data from theft and loss caused.""The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved.""Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format.""Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers.""Reporting could be improved.""Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."

"The product does not have encryption or data masking.""We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard.""I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."
  • "Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."
  • "There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
  • "Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
  • "The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."
  • "We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."
  • "They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."
  • "The price is very high but compared to the price of the overall solution, then I think it's a good deal because the solution itself is great."
  • More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing fees, including support, are approximately $5,000 USD per database, per year."
  • "I rate the pricing a five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest."
