Pros
"The most valuable feature is data discovery. This is the most exciting feature for all of the banks.""Informatica Persistent Data Masking can mask production data for different users, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information.""Informatica is user-friendly, stable, and scalable. These three aspects are the most valuable for us. If we can make it work well with the CRM, we can continue or try again this year to complete that part of the project. I am confident that this kind of solution is what we need because we have a third-party resource that works in the development.""Informatica provides a comprehensive solution for on-the-fly or real-time data masking.""The most valuable features are the structure masking and platform masking."

"The solution is very stable and reliable.""All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable.""Our clients can see all of their past actions or the wrong activity done on the network. We can load the diagnostics for the business.""Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on.""The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases.""A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring.""The critical event alerts and reporting features have greatly reduced loss of man hours that would have been spent on going through the whole audit event logs.""It is a good product for controlling all databases. It is helpful for auditing the data. When people are doing any actions on the databases, they are recorded automatically in the vault. You can work on the collected data to find out exactly what is happening on a database. You can implement database encryption on the databases to control people's access to the database content, such as rows and tables."

Cons
"Informatica's support understands the solution, but they lack the experience we need for our use case. That was one thing that we prioritized when we started searching for this kind of solution.""Once the data is masked, we won't be able to reverse it back to its original value.""I have encountered some issues using the substitution, which is one of the techniques of data masking.""The data discovery isn't that good yet for Salesforce. We have another tool that we use for this. It may be a problem because Salesforce on the cloud.""Informatica should simplify the rules for setting classifications and user access management permissions. It's too complex to define, configure, and make work."

More Informatica Persistent Data Masking Cons →

"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time.""Currently, you need two servers: one for Audit Vault and one for the firewall. If they can combine them into one server, it will be great because it is costly to have two servers. It will also make its installation easier. I have heard that in the new version, there will be only one server for both.""An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response.""We would like to see the ability to administer and manage the solution through Enterprise Manager 13c, and development of the dashboards that are generally missing.""I hear from many people that say IBM Guardian is better than Oracle Audit Vault when it comes to performance. IBM Guardian works transparently in the database, but Oracle Audit Vault consumes some ratios on the server.""Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges""This solution doesn't audit the network.""One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
