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."One of the most valuable features is the accelerator. It has a predefined report for PCI SOX compliance and other compliances."
"Guardium lets you centrally manage aggregators and collectors."
"It protects sensitive data and blocks unauthorized access to the data."
"It has been very difficult to analyze all the network traffic with something else. Guardium provides that feature, it's heuristic. So we have rule-based algorithms in place to take care of that."
"The ability to collect the data without database administers being able to modify it."
"The most valuable feature is the GUI, the interface. It also interfaces well with REST API, if you want to automate some of the commands."
"IBM Guardium Data Protection has better integration options than most of the leading competitors on the market, and the price is always better."

"The biggest complaint that I hear from customers and users is that using this solution requires database skills, yet it is a security and monitoring tool."
"Initially it did not have support external applications like, say, Tableau, ServiceNow, Remedy, and the like. They have started growing into it, but I would like to have more and more integration with outside applications."
"The analysis part of this product could be improved. It's a very comprehensive product, so the features it has complement customer requirements. But I would like to see more emphasis on analytics, and it would be great if they added machine learning. They already have analysis insights, but a comprehensive analytical feature that's already incorporated into the solution would be very helpful."
"We have had some issues with patches breaking things unexpectedly in our environments."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."
"Could be more user friendly; deployment is a little complex."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
