Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."IBM Guardium Data Protection has better integration options than most of the leading competitors on the market, and the price is always better."
"The product has proven to be flexible"
"It tests security to support SOX compliance."
"The tool helps detect invalid login attempts within a specific time frame."
"You could easily throw it onto a VM or add additional hardware. One central manager supports about a hundred managed units, so scalability is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is using the capture operation mode “S-TAP/K-TAP agent”, because all activities in the database are captured, including direct access to the database server by privileged users. This is useful because, even if the database server logs were deleted, the Guardium Collector has already stored such data to enable traceability of access."
"What I like about IBM Guardium Data Protection is that some of its features were deployed by collectors during the installation phase. The solution has collector and aggregator features, license installation, and even server patches that you won't find in other security providers. I like the collector-aggregator capabilities of IBM Guardium Data Protection where you install each component on separate servers, then on the aggregator, you collect all the logs on a central server or central console."
"Guardium lets you centrally manage aggregators and collectors."
"This solution delivers the value that it is supposed to deliver."
"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."
"The backup and recovery is very resource-hungry and requires a huge amount of storage capacity."
"Setup can be complex. The documentation is in so many different locations, and a lot of times we have to leverage support and higher level resources to figure out the right steps to take."
"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."
"There could be a feature to integrate and protect multiple databases. The local support services need improvements as well."
"I would like them to support cloud services."
"Sometimes the performance is not good, and also sometimes we have sudden bugs causing difficulties."
"I would like to see streamlining of some of the agent features, some of the patches; make it a little bit more user-friendly on the documentation."
"There are not a lot of templates available to use, so we had to start many things from scratch."
