We performed a comparison between IBM Security Guardium Data Protection and Protegrity Data Security based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature for me, in my role as systems DBA, is the expediting of internal and external audits."
"The features I like are the robust policies, which allow us to create customized monitoring based on specific activities."
"The vulnerability assessment is a valuable feature."
"The tool helps detect invalid login attempts within a specific time frame."
"It's made database monitoring more visible to the business, creating more conversations about how we should do it better."
"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."
"Guardium does a great job of capturing data and having the ability of trying to pull it out and make sense of it. Using it for business applications is its biggest capability."
"The reporting side is also very, very good, especially its flexibility which allows you to tailor the reports to whatever information you want."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"I would like to see IBM Guardium have other encryption algorithms employed."
"Personally, I would not recommend this product."
"The integration part of the present solution is very complex and tedious. Plus it gives a lot of false positives which need to be eradicated over time."
"The deployment is complex and requires expertise to deploy."
"Flexibility could be improved."
"I'd like to them make sure that the data sources can be more easily managed, because some of them are tied to multiple things. You try to remove one and you have to go to all the different spots to remove the associations before you can get rid of it."
"It would be helpful, and convenient to improve the Chat support."
"Initial setup is very complex. Once you start interacting with people's databases, they get very hesitant. Then, the amount of social tasks to socialize the solution ensuring people are comfortable with it became a much heavier lift."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
