Likelihood to Recommend	IBM IBM Guardium DP is suitable for monitoring, auditing, data discovery, vulnerability analysis, and risk detection and investigation in relational and non-relational databases, cloud database services, indexed databases, and non-relational databases as well. IBM Guardium DPR is appropriate for supporting the process of detecting anomalous behavior in accessing sensitive data, helping to optimize the work of cybersecurity analysts or data team analysts by providing the data officer within our organization with insight into compromised users, compromised databases, or file servers containing sensitive data.

Pros	IBM Provides complete monitoring of data access and usage activities. Provides customizable security controls and policies that help us meet compliance and regulatory requirements. Uses advanced algorithms and machine learning to detect abnormal behavior patterns. Helps us protect sensitive and confidential data by controlling access. Integrates easily with other security systems and tools. Incentivized Brandon Lowry Cyber Security Specialist Read full review
Cons	IBM Cleanup the menu bar- way too many items. Ktap support for newer O/S. Recently, I have had to open support tickets to get the most recent support for the RHEL Kernel. Also, upgrading agents to V12 doesnt not have the same Flex or exact match for KTAP as 11.5. You would think V12 would have the same Kernel support as 11.5. Clients are moving to V12.

Likelihood to Renew	IBM It is a perfect system to detect problems that we do not see manually, it is light, with a very simple learning curve and with great protection of our data, we will use it forever. Incentivized Meena Prasad Information Technology Security Analyst Read full review
Usability	IBM This software is not the easiest to use in all work environments, each department has some difficulties accessing and managing some functions, it can be considered a complex softy, but I consider it necessary to have it in the company due to its security qualities of warm cans, it offers exactly what it promises but with a little difficulty in its configuration.
