Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The initial setup is very simple."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"Imperva's most valuable features are ease of use and log correlation. I also like the ability to trace activity from the host machine to the server access, the user details, and the exact query that they executed. If a database administrator or application process executes a query on the database, people know exactly what was executed, including all the variables."
"This is a stable product."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the database security policy."
"The command line interface is simple and very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the load-balancing reverse proxy."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability. During the time that I have been using it, it has not undergone a service failure... And with the integrated application protection, we have not suffered from attacks anymore."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"I have worked with IBM before, and I prefer its ease of deployment and management. Imperva SecureSphere Database Security has tricky deployment, whereas IBM's deployment is straightforward because of the UI."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
"Database security from the access management perspective could be better."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"I would like to see future enhancements in security, specifically in threat protection."
"I would like for the load balancing to work with premier and the cloud, a mix of premium and cloud."
"The user interface can be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see the loading documentation improved."
"The solution could be more robust."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"It can be improved by combining the web application firewall (WAF) facility."
