"Satisfies audit requests, to give us an idea if anybody is accessing our privileged user IDs without our knowledge."
"Gathering the data works very well. "

"Ability to define reports based on SQL query, especially when you have complex report criteria."
"Guardium does a great job of capturing data and having the ability of trying to pull it out and make sense of it. Using it for business applications is its biggest capability."
"The ability to collect the data without database administers being able to modify it."
"Accelerators is one of the big functions they have out there. It gives you canned reports that you don't have to make yourself, they're out there by being part of the patch. You just have to fill your information in to some of the already built groups, for your environment, and it automates a lot of that. That has definitely helped improve things."
"The most valuable feature is the GUI, the interface. It also interfaces well with REST API, if you want to automate some of the commands."

"The solution could be improved for NoSQL databases."
"The ability for Central Managers to talk to one another could be improved. I have 26 Central Managers and 26 silos which are independent."
"Flexibility could be improved."
"It needs an integration with Optum."
"I am struggling getting through to social."
"Sometimes the connectors to the databases need to be manually updated and we have to configure them again, which is something that should be improved."
"One of the limitations that everyone who uses Guardium knows is its ability for back-end reporting. The ability to collect it sometimes is easier than the ability to retrieve it, use it, or give a good representation of it for incidence response or questions which come from the different people who want to use the data."
"It would be helpful, and convenient to improve the Chat support."
