Over the years, it has satisfactory met the requirements of our customers which makes it a very reliable and versatile solution."
"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 tech support is very knowledgeable."
"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."
"Provides a unified key management system to help simplify encryption key management."
"IBM Guardium Data Protection has better integration options than most of the leading competitors on the market, and the price is always better."
"Audit Process Builder – Workflow generator to enhance audit tasks and compliance workflows."
"It allows us to put in controls to make sure that only the right persons access the proper records in the database."
"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."
"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."
"Performance and the ability to use resources could be improved."
"Personally, I would not recommend this product."
"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 installation should be a bit easier."
"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 predictive, using Watson AI would be good."
"The ability for Central Managers to talk to one another could be improved. I have 26 Central Managers and 26 silos which are independent."
"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."
