"Ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"Gathering the data works very well. "
"Has a great Big Data Intelligence feature."
"The platform provides data protection from internal and external threats."
"Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward."
"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."
"It provides a comprehensive security for databases, both on-prem and on the cloud. Among the advanced features we use automatic backups, DR."
"We are using it to do a lot of data discovery from a data classification for structured data."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can have a good view which is provided with a proper division of all your databases, which you can see in Trustwave DbProtect."
"This solution helps our clients to monitor their database use, and detect violations of the policy."
"Transfer and vulnerability scanning are the most valuable features of this product."
"Needs nore cloud support."
"I'd like to them make sure that the data sources can be more easily managed, because some of them are tied to multiple things. You try to remove one and you have to go to all the different spots to remove the associations before you can get rid of it."
"We have had some issues with patches breaking things unexpectedly in our environments."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."
"Right now we're having some issues where it's using a high CPU, we don't know why. So, better testing before the product is ready would help."
"It will not go as fast as you want. "
"The price of this solution is quite high for smaller organizations, so they should release a version that is affordable for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The integration part of the present solution is very complex and tedious. Plus it gives a lot of false positives which need to be eradicated over time."
"We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard."
"The product does not have encryption or data masking."
"I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL."
