Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."It supports our audit compliance."
"You could easily throw it onto a VM or add additional hardware. One central manager supports about a hundred managed units, so scalability is excellent."
"The possible number of databases and database servers which can be monitored by Guardium is high. For me, this is a differentiator of IBM."
"One of the most valuable features is the accelerator. It has a predefined report for PCI SOX compliance and other compliances."
"I think it scales pretty well. It can run on most of the database platforms currently out there. That is something we really like as a feature, because we try to hit everything in our environment to make sure we're meeting those regulations."
"I like the reporting mechanism. It's very good."
"It provides a comprehensive security for databases, both on-prem and on the cloud. Among the advanced features we use automatic backups, DR."
"Our internal audit is keeping an eye out, and making sure that we're in compliance. Having the Guardium solution and its reporting helps us get through that process a lot more quickly and efficiently."
"Transfer encryption is a great feature of Crypto Suite."
"Personally, I would not recommend this product."
"The one thing that I would like to see improved, but I don't think it's going to be in the next release, is its reporting capabilities. I think that's been offloaded to another third-party product that I think IBM actually endorses for that."
"I would like to be able to upgrade appliances within major versions without needing to rebuild the appliance."
"I would like them to support cloud services."
"They could enable the out-of-the-box feature to track application user activity."
"There are features like end-to-end and S-TAP mapping, and the ability to install policies for your configuration builder. They're not there, but we'd like to see them in the next version."
"The documentation could be better."
"Sometimes the performance is not good, and also sometimes we have sudden bugs causing difficulties."
"Could be more agent-led with options for simplifying implementation."
