"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."
"Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward."
"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."
"We now have the ability to begin to understand how people, applications, and service accounts are interacting with data to better protect it."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and data-level access control."
"Ability to define reports based on SQL query, especially when you have complex report criteria."
"Satisfies audit requests, to give us an idea if anybody is accessing our privileged user IDs without our knowledge."
"It has automated a bunch of manual tasks, giving us insights into activities that we would not otherwise be able to capture."
"This solution helps our clients to monitor their database use, and detect violations of the policy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can have a good view which is provided with a proper division of all your databases, which you can see in Trustwave DbProtect."
"Transfer and vulnerability scanning are the most valuable features of this product."
"Guardium Data Protection is far better in terms of external integration. But in terms of firewall features, like when you're blocking activities, it's as if Oracle AVDF simply has superior features. This is just from third-party observations, but the users of Oracle AVDF are saying that when it comes to the firewall and protection functionality, they're much more inclined to AVDF."
"An improvement would be to make the pricing relative in terms of regions."
"I have already mentioned to IBM that a primary need is to improve the number of records in the reports above 65,535."
"We've had some issues recently that we're working through, on the agent software that runs on the databases."
"Guardium's storage capabilities could use some improvement. I'd also like to have some better integration using digital technology or a connector."
"Overall testing and quality need improvement. It is fairly buggy at times, so it feels like it could use additional staff on the product, testing and trying it out."
"The backup and recovery is very resource-hungry and requires a huge amount of storage capacity."
"The solution could be improved for NoSQL databases."
"I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL."
"The product does not have encryption or data masking."
"We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard."
