"It does not require our involvement to run it. It runs in the background and the people that do the reporting do so. The reports go to the directors who are in charge of the various data areas. It's pretty clean. Clearly there is some setup, but after you get it set up it just goes."
"It has been very difficult to analyze all the network traffic with something else. Guardium provides that feature, it's heuristic. So we have rule-based algorithms in place to take care of that."
"The product has proven to be flexible"
"Setting up Guardium was easy and straightforward."
"Efficiency is key and IBM Guardium provides information in a heartbeat, but protects the data with military grade encryption."
"The most valuable feature is using the capture operation mode “S-TAP/K-TAP agent”, because all activities in the database are captured, including direct access to the database server by privileged users. This is useful because, even if the database server logs were deleted, the Guardium Collector has already stored such data to enable traceability of access."

"Good data encryption and data masking features."
"Additional improvement can be done as the issues are encountered."

"The installation should be a bit easier."
"It would be helpful, and convenient to improve the Chat support."

"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."
"Deployment process is very complicated as you need to now all advanced parameters. Almost not possible to figure out for yourself."
