Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI was a valuable feature. It was uncomplicated and easy to use."
"The best part is that we are able to manage it easily. It is easy to manage and easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"The link load balancing is a great feature."
"The device blocks threats and allows legitimate users to work correctly."
"I like the ADC feature and the global certificate feature."
"I found the link load balancer and server load balancer are the most valuable."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The interface is easy, it's friendly, and has good alerting."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"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."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"The updates could be better."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"You need to have pretty good internal knowledge of the solution."
"Recently our team was talking about the things you can customize in Alteon and the level of programming that doing so demands. I would like to see more information on how to customize the programming and troubleshoot."
"We’d like the solution to include more security features in the standard license."
"Performance could be improved."
"Radware Alteon could improve the troubleshooting from the command line interface, they could do a better job making it easier."
"Support is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could be more open to additional third-party add-ons being integrated into it."
"I would like the solution to display and help visualize the reference map more easily. I would also like to better understand where queries come from and know which users are consulting the application, along with which app."
