Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We have seen our security risk decreased due to customization and meeting all the security needs for every application."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"The ROI based on the number of prevented, and detected, information security incidents can be classified as high."
"It was well worth implementing Imperva SecureSphere and found the rate of productivity increased by using it."
"This solution enables clients to achieve data security, whether on cloud or on prem."
"Imperva Security Sphere is something that I recommend any day, anytime because they are very much focused on security as a passion."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The immediate return is that we are saving money by having a lower cost for the same functionality."
"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."
"The reliable backup and restoring of the Salesforce data is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"They have to put more focus on the administrative part of the application, especially on upgrades."
"There were many stability issues with the upgrade procedure. The technical support team didn't know how to handle them."
"The solution is expensive."
"The development mode on the platform needs improvement. For example, the archiving functionalities should be enhanced to allow easy conversion of archived logs into CSV or Excel formats for data analysis."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"One area for improvement is the inclusion of a load balancer in on-premises solutions."
"There is need to do the same for the other SaaS applications."
"The anonymization feature can be improved."

"The product’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"This is an expensive solution and the price should be reduced."
"It is very expensive."
