Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and combine policies within the organization.""We have integrated IBM Guardium​ with IBM Watson Curator. They access Curator to identify and correlate other actions the user is doing to determine if this is a legitimate action or not.""Efficiency is key and IBM Guardium provides information in a heartbeat, but protects the data with military grade encryption.""The solution supports a lot of databases.""The product has proven to be flexible""It allows us to put in controls to make sure that only the right persons access the proper records in the database.""Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward.""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."

"It has the ability to stop any violation coming through via the database."

More Sentrigo Hedgehog [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"The backup and recovery is very resource-hungry and requires a huge amount of storage capacity.""I would like to see IBM Guardium have other encryption algorithms employed.""We've had some issues recently that we're working through, on the agent software that runs on the databases.""I have already mentioned to IBM that a primary need is to improve the number of records in the reports above 65,535.""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.""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.""Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best.""It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We haven't talked much about pricing and licencing. But it is not cheap for sure"
  • "I would suggest to review the type of data, need for security, and if the organizational structure needs the options IBM Guardium provides."
  • "​If you are researching this type of solution, work with IBM."
  • "Guardium has not saved us time or money."
  • "The biggest challenge is the cost associated with the product, and the cost of maintaining. Everything is not translated directly to the benefits we see. There are benefits, yes, but if I were writing the check, would I buy Guardium? No."
  • "Guardium won mostly because of our scope and scale. It was able to perform at the scale that we wanted to use it. ​"
  • "The price of Guardium is higher than the main competitor, Imperva. In addition, it's complex as the calculation of the licensing is done by Processor Value Unit (PVU). However, before purchasing a DAP solution, it is important to analyze specific points to evaluate the cost-benefit of each tool. For example: Does the environment to be monitored have mainframes? If so, it's a point for Guardium. If not, a point for Imperva. Note: IBM is looking into a new licensing policy and reducing the price of Guardium."
  • "One of the deployments that I know of had three databases, and the yearly fees are approximately $50,000 USD."
