"From the perspective of analysis and prevention, this product is pretty accurate."

"We also use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and compliance policies. For example, our audit area can verify if someone has access to information that they shouldn't have, for their regular job functions."
"We have integrated IBM Guardium with IBM Watson Curator. They access Curator to identify and correlate other actions the user is doing to determine if this is a legitimate action or not."
"Easy to set up data activity monitoring solution that provides competent technical support. Scalable, stable, and has good performance."
"Our ability to see when users are accessing sensitive data."
"It allows us to put in controls to make sure that only the right persons access the proper records in the database."
"It allows us to run models against it and do reports against it without understanding the different database technologies."
"The centralization of the data is probably the most useful feature because we span multiple database technologies. We also find the GBDI portion of it very helpful."
"The technical support is very poor."
"The deployment is complex and requires expertise to deploy."
"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."
"I'd like to see a smoother GUI interface for the CAS agent - CAS does configurations on the database - to interface better with the vulnerability assessments."
"The solution could be improved for NoSQL databases."
"It will not go as fast as you want. "
"I have already mentioned to IBM that a primary need is to improve the number of records in the reports above 65,535."
"There are features like end-to-end and S-TAP mapping, and the ability to install policies for your configuration builder. They're not there, but we'd like to see them in the next version."
"It can be simplified as it is a little complicated."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. Right now, it's a little bit of a complicated product to use. Another problem that we have is with encrypted traffic on Oracle. This is because it requires a database outage. That's a pain in the butt because you're monitoring critical systems, and they don't like outages."
