LevelBlue DbProtect vs. SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)

Monitoring database activity internally was a huge concern for my company, which is why we implemented DbProtect. I would recommend this to anyone that has lower end traffic on their SQL servers. My company appeared to be too big for DbProtect and was not a good fit, but it would be useful for a smaller company.

We use this for an inbuilt security management system, where it performs well in a scaled setup with a large volume of live data with high availability. Also, the performance is up to the mark for the large statement flow. From a DBA perspective, a lot of parameters need to be fine-tuned for the specific environment needs, which can cause overhead. Expertise is limited, and the learning curve is steep for the SAP ASE.

Well-suited in the security domain, high performance, and low latency of the DBMS. In terms of the DBA perspective, a dedicated monitoring tool (Cockpit) helps a lot in terms of managing the database, which helps in identifying bottlenecks during performance issues. Also, it helps us to send custom alerts related to Database activities.

The price is the complete opposite and Imperva provided things that DbProtect did not. I would suggest a cleaner interface and more reporting in DbProtect. These things may exist now, but did not when I was a customer of DbProtect. DbProtect when configured correctly will do what you want it to and help secure databases.
