It is a stable solution. However, they could enable an in-built feature to track user activity for the applications connected to databases. When users enter credentials to authenticate themselves, Guardium should also log the activity and enter its database.
View full review »It's pretty stable. It's like any other software, it has its ups and downs: bugs, or configuration issues or things that weren't built exactly in the best way for customers to use. Obviously, they need that kind of feedback from when it's in the environment. But overall, I think it's pretty stable.

Guardium is very stable. The only outages that we have had have been self-induced, which is hard to admit. As a platform, it provides great stability.

Stability is average. There are frequently new issues with releases. As long as you stay a version or two behind, you are pretty stable. However, we have had some issues with patches breaking things unexpectedly in our environments.

It was difficult implementing it, configuring it, getting it up and running and in production. However, since then, I believe it has stabilized.

It is pretty good, though we have had some issues. Sometimes the performance is not good, and also sometimes we have sudden bugs causing difficulties. Therefore, it is hard for IBM to fix.

The feedback that I have heard from customers, and my team, is that the solution is very stable. It does not require a lot of things after it is set up for the first time. Once it is fine-tuned, you do not need to do much other than generate and show reports.
At the same time, I do still hear complaints directly from customers about stability. Specifically, it has to do with making changes. If there is an S-TAP agent installed on the service then sometimes the configuration needs to be changed. This might be by adding a new rule or policy. After this, the server needs to be restarted. It is impossible to frequently stop and restart a service when it is in production.
My team justifies this by saying that it only happens infrequently, at a rate of perhaps once a year. However, the customers still see it as a very difficult task that makes their lives tough. Other than this, I have not heard any complaints about stability.

View full review »I'm not the administrator of the product so I don't know that I would be the best one to answer this. But from more of a consumer's perspective, the fact that the S-TAPs and such run on my systems, it has not caused us any problems; a little bit in the SQL Server space, but overall it has been good.

View full review »We are about 50 to 60 percent there. A lot of that has to do with us implementing it a little better, and redesigning what we thought would be their protection. We need to do a bit more efficient architecture, as some things are coming down the pipeline for the roadmap of the product.

View full review »I'm pretty impressed with the stability. There was medium-sized initial effort getting it configured and set up and doing what we wanted it to do, but it just runs and we don't have to deal with it.
View full review »IBM Security Guardium is a mature product. Although it needs agents on the server to monitor their database or file traffic, we did not encounter serious issues so far.

The solution is quite stable compared to the other solutions that we have worked with. However, it requires a lot of development, or it requires a lot of effort to make it deployable in a customer location, which makes it very difficult.

We had instability with reports, they were giving some errors. I don't know exactly what had happened because I wasn't the one involved, but we couldn't access reports.

Depending on the policy and rules applied, there is a need to increase the minimum requirements (RAM and storage - HD) for better operation and not to experience hardware slowdowns due to the high flow of traffic. IBM brings the "minimums" and "recommendation." From experience in versions 9x and 10x, when installing Guardium, it's important to verify the "recommendation" requirements of IBM for stability. It is worth mentioning that the requirements (minimums or recommendation) are different for Collector and aggregator.

The stability depends, in part, on how much the client can give the appliance in terms of resources. Overall, I think that it's a really stable appliance, as long as you keep it up to date with all of the patches and updates.
