Pros
"The initial setup is very simple.""The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive.""It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers.""There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva.""The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights.""Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation.""As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization.""This is a stable product."

Cons
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used.""Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience.""Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format.""It is very expensive. Its price can be better.""Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers.""It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price.""Reporting could be improved.""Technical support for this solution needs improvement."

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."
