We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Privacy and IBM Security Guardium Data Protection based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, Broadcom, DATPROF and others in Data Masking."The product is very stable and flexible. The product masks data throughout the entire structure. It helps us to work in a differential integrity environment. We conducted testing directly on our production environment in the past, but that’s no longer the case. We can now work with actual data in a production-like setting without production data. The shift to non-production data for testing and development has significantly improved our workflow."
"Has a great Big Data Intelligence feature."
"From the perspective of analysis and prevention, this product is pretty accurate."
"The ability to collect the data without database administers being able to modify it."
"Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward."
"It supports our audit compliance."
"The solution has definitely saved us time, because if you want to monitor this kind of vast environment of different products, it's going to take a lot of time. Let's say one database server has 100 database instances running on it; I don't need to install 100 data instances, I just need to install on the one database server and that will cover all of my instances on that particular database."
"Efficiency is key and IBM Guardium provides information in a heartbeat, but protects the data with military grade encryption."
"Ability to define reports based on SQL query, especially when you have complex report criteria."
"We have encountered challenges with different intgrity structures. In my experience, I’ve encountered challenges with implementing business cases. While the product remains stable, translating its use cases can be more complex. This involves both technical and functional considerations."
"IBM should add more database security features to Guardium. They could add user profiling, anomaly detection, and machine learning. IBM has user profiling, but they need to strengthen it. It should make sense for the users. It should remove most of the false positives."
"More predictive, using Watson AI would be good."
"The biggest complaint that I hear from customers and users is that using this solution requires database skills, yet it is a security and monitoring tool."
"Needs easier integration with custom applications."
"Right now we're having some issues where it's using a high CPU, we don't know why. So, better testing before the product is ready would help."
"Right now, we're in the development phase for IBM Guardium Data Protection, so I don't have any recommendations about additional features and room for improvement in the solution. We're very excited to work on IBM Guardium Data Protection because we are new to the solution, and we're still exploring product features. We're very excited about integrations and use case creation, and it's only after six to eight months that I'll be able to share my recommendations in terms of additional features the solution should have. We did find some difficulty in deploying IBM Guardium Data Protection here in Pakistan because of the lack of resources."
"An improvement would be to make the pricing relative in terms of regions."
"It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."
