Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The NOACCESS by default is another very good feature. Also, access rules are straightforward, and easy to understand."
"Logging and monitoring are most valuable. It is for the mainframe environment, and it is at the forefront for security and resilience."
"Excellent real-time reporting that saves time and resources."
"We use this tool to quickly assign privileges to different users as soon as they come in."
"I love their support. The support is great. They are number one."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"It needs longer rules. The max rule is 32K."
"They can work on its ability to work in a distributed environment. It's a mainframe product. As many companies move to the cloud, depending on what cloud models they choose, such as a public, hybrid, or private cloud, it should be deployable. I am not sure if it can be deployed on those platforms. It has been there since the '50s or '60s, and it's still scalable. It has survived all these years, and it's scalable to many platforms, but I don't know about the cloud."
"Reporting can sometimes include false positives."
"I would like my team and me to be able to use simple browsers, like Chrome, to be able to access mainframe data and provision users using the browser."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
