Find out what your peers are saying about Delphix, Broadcom, DATPROF and others in Data Masking."The product is very stable and flexible. The product masks data throughout the entire structure. It helps us to work in a differential integrity environment. We conducted testing directly on our production environment in the past, but that’s no longer the case. We can now work with actual data in a production-like setting without production data. The shift to non-production data for testing and development has significantly improved our workflow."
"It does not require our involvement to run it. It runs in the background and the people that do the reporting do so. The reports go to the directors who are in charge of the various data areas. It's pretty clean. Clearly there is some setup, but after you get it set up it just goes."
"Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward."
"It tests security to support SOX compliance."
"The product has proven to be flexible"
"The possible number of databases and database servers which can be monitored by Guardium is high. For me, this is a differentiator of IBM."
"Encryption is not straightforward, but Guardium made the setup easy for us."
"The ability to collect the data without database administers being able to modify it."
"It supports our audit compliance."
"We have encountered challenges with different intgrity structures. In my experience, I’ve encountered challenges with implementing business cases. While the product remains stable, translating its use cases can be more complex. This involves both technical and functional considerations."
"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."
"I would like to see AI and machine learning added in the future."
"One of the limitations that everyone who uses Guardium knows is its ability for back-end reporting. The ability to collect it sometimes is easier than the ability to retrieve it, use it, or give a good representation of it for incidence response or questions which come from the different people who want to use the data."
"Deployment process is very complicated as you need to now all advanced parameters. Almost not possible to figure out for yourself."
"The technical support is very poor."
"The installation should be a bit easier."
"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."
"Guardium Data Protection is far better in terms of external integration. But in terms of firewall features, like when you're blocking activities, it's as if Oracle AVDF simply has superior features. This is just from third-party observations, but the users of Oracle AVDF are saying that when it comes to the firewall and protection functionality, they're much more inclined to AVDF."
