Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The performance of the solution is good."
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"The tool happens to be very intelligent when it comes to processing policies and sounding alerts. It allows us to implement policies and measure actions against them, raising alerts accordingly."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"I am finding SSL-TLS acceleration the most valuable function, with certificate management. It is easy to generate certificates and assign them to services"
"With Alteon, the load-balancing options are practically unlimited. We haven't had any issues with offloading, decryption, putting in cookies, or any other load-balancing features. We can check URLs, etc., on the back end for load balancing instead of running a TCP check. We're also doing some certificate stuff on there. Alteon covers all of the standard load-balancing techniques, and we employ most of them daily."
"The best features are the security through the web application firewall, the functionality that the solution offers, being a load balancer with the security functionality on top of it, and the ease of administration."
"It is easy to expand. Our clients are enterprise-size."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"The UI is user-friendly."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"It saves us a lot of work in terms of management since it has tasks already defined automatically. That enables us to better administer our services. It is very dynamic and easy to administer."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"The solution needs local support."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"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."
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The interface implementation can be improved."
"I would like this solution to have an integration tool that will convert configuration from other software, into readable values for this product during implementation."
"The service could be improved by better customer support."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"The solution could be more robust."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"The reverse proxy piece is a little bit complicated. If the reverse proxy were easier to implement, that would help."
"Their support can be better. The Radware management is very proactive. We can connect to anybody in Radware Management in India. We can even connect with the MD of Radware India. However, their lower level staff should be more proactive towards the customers."
