Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance of the solution is good.""We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users.""The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank.""It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers.""As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization.""I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions.""The discovery module provides good visibility.""The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."

"The technical support is good; they are knowledgeable.""The feature I have found most valuable is activity monitoring.""The support is very good. They are very quick to respond when we have issues."

Cons
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process.""Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities.""There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve.""Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful.""The GUI for this solution could use some improvement.""Reporting could be improved.""It is very expensive. Its price can be better.""The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."

"Technical support could be more responsive.""In the next feature, I'd like to see more integrations and updates overall, specifically bottom tech.""The UI needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."
  • "Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."
  • "There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
  • "Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
  • "The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."
  • "We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."
  • "They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."
  • "The price is very high but compared to the price of the overall solution, then I think it's a good deal because the solution itself is great."
