We performed a comparison between IBM Security Guardium Data Protection and Voltage SecureData Enterprise based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IBM Guardium Data Protection is very good at keeping your database secure."
"Provides a unified key management system to help simplify encryption key management."
"Ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"It's one of the first to encrypt DB2 databases."
"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."
"I think IMB's technical support is good."
"The ability to collect the data without database administers being able to modify it."
"Guardium does a great job of capturing data and having the ability of trying to pull it out and make sense of it. Using it for business applications is its biggest capability."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise is the ease of configuration and the group services rest API."
"The number one feature I found was that the install was really easy, it was quite helpful."
"Right now, we're in the development phase for IBM Guardium Data Protection, so I don't have any recommendations about additional features and room for improvement in the solution. We're very excited to work on IBM Guardium Data Protection because we are new to the solution, and we're still exploring product features. We're very excited about integrations and use case creation, and it's only after six to eight months that I'll be able to share my recommendations in terms of additional features the solution should have. We did find some difficulty in deploying IBM Guardium Data Protection here in Pakistan because of the lack of resources."
"More automation, user guides, and tips would make this solution better."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."
"I would like to see AI and machine learning added in the future."
"Guardium's storage capabilities could use some improvement. I'd also like to have some better integration using digital technology or a connector."
"Since we are resellers we do not have enough information about the technical aspects and the areas of improvement. However, one consistent report that we receive from our customers is that IBM does not offer timely support due to the size of the organisation. It would be great if they could improve their response time."
"Could be more user friendly; deployment is a little complex."
"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."
"For a future release, the interface looks a bit dated and could be improved."
"Micro Focus Voltage SecureData Enterprise can improve the types of encryptions. They are limited by the number of types of encryption and types of masking they are allowing. In the solution that we were using, the illustration interface and the number of capabilities in terms of data masking were limited."
