Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Encryption is not straightforward, but Guardium made the setup easy for us."
"I think it scales pretty well. It can run on most of the database platforms currently out there. That is something we really like as a feature, because we try to hit everything in our environment to make sure we're meeting those regulations."
"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 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."
"It provides a comprehensive security for databases, both on-prem and on the cloud. Among the advanced features we use automatic backups, DR."
"Efficiency is key and IBM Guardium provides information in a heartbeat, but protects the data with military grade encryption."
"IBM Guardium Data Protection has better integration options than most of the leading competitors on the market, and the price is always better."
"Security policy enforcement of policy-based encryption and centralized encryption key management allows us to maintain data in a secure environment."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"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."
"I would like to be able to upgrade appliances within major versions without needing to rebuild the appliance."
"The solution lacks control over database security."
"There could be a feature to integrate and protect multiple databases. The local support services need improvements as well."
"We have had some issues with patches breaking things unexpectedly in our environments."
"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."
"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."
"The installation should be a bit easier."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
