DataSunrise Database Security vs IBM Security Guardium Data Protection comparison

"The most valuable feature of DataSunrise Database Security is Dynamic Masking. You don't need to build copies of the database and is highly customizable. It is a very good unique feature. It also has built-in algorithms, or machine learning, which is quite helpful, because it understands the user's behaviors and patterns to apply certain policies."

"We have a law in Turkey similar to the GDPR in the European Union. It's almost like a replica. Complying with this law is crucial, and the service plays a significant role. Many customer inquiries revolve around not retaining their data. The service addresses this by providing functionality for masking data within the databases. So, if a user requests data deletion, we can remove any information we have on them within the database, ensuring compliance with the law."

"This is a multi-platform solution that consolidates everything and centralizes support for it."

"I think it scales pretty well. It can run on most of the database platforms currently out there. That is something we really like as a feature, because we try to hit everything in our environment to make sure we're meeting those regulations."

"Easy to set up data activity monitoring solution that provides competent technical support. Scalable, stable, and has good performance."

"Ease of deployment is a valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is the GUI, the interface. It also interfaces well with REST API, if you want to automate some of the commands."

"The tech support is very knowledgeable."

"The tool helps detect invalid login attempts within a specific time frame."

"The most valuable feature I have found is the performance of client monitoring. The other competitors are unable to do this."

"I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption."

"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."

"The biggest complaint that I hear from customers and users is that using this solution requires database skills, yet it is a security and monitoring tool."

"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."

"Needs easier integration with custom applications."

"An area for improvement would be the user interface - currently, it takes around two to three months to become comfortable using it."

"Performance and the ability to use resources could be improved."

"We deal with updates manually on Sundays and sometimes face bugs with the newer versions."

"Guardium's storage capabilities could use some improvement. I'd also like to have some better integration using digital technology or a connector."

"If IBM Guardium Data Protection could find a way to not have a lot of coding and development required to get the solution up and running it would be an advantage. The information of the agent could improve, which is necessary for us to monitor the databases would be a great benefit."

"The product is expensive."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"It is a very costly product."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is very high price, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"IBM Guardium Data Protection charges you based on the number of users, e.g. based on the number of licenses, and it's either on a per-license or a per-data basis."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."

"It is not an expensive product. We purchase its yearly license."

"Its cost is good. With the new metric of licensing, such as PDO not being available now, customers are expecting a good price for the solution."

"The price is good for the quality of the solution."
