We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."

"Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information.""The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking.""The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks.""Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development.""Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking."

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.""We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption.""They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly.""The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved.""I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL.""Some use case analyses could be improved."

"Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work.""Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value.""The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud.""I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking.""Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution."
