IBM Security Guardium constantly monitors all data in general, detailing any event immediately, offering accurate reports with monitoring and automation that allows us to be calm since the result is clear; on the other hand, this Artificial Intelligence helps us notably throughout the organization due to the agility with which it works, ultimately obtaining excellent dividends for everyone.

- The detection of threats is very good since the data will not be damaged because the monitoring of the software is very attentive, so the errors are analyzed before something can be damaged.
- It has wonderful technical support willing to help at all times.
- The navigation is not adequate, a lot of time is wasted, and it does not give up for that reason.

Incredible features to keep our data safe.
This software caught our attention because we noticed that it could provide us with good protection of our data; in our company, the flow of information is very active, and keeping our data vulnerable is not an option, but with IBM Security Guardium, we can manage analysis very well and protection of our data, it detects threats quickly, which allows us to have a lot of peace of mind and be sure of the functions that IBM Security Guardium offers us, since, in the 3 years that we have been using it, it has been beneficial and with notable results.
- Speed in detecting threats.
- Troubleshooting is fast, analytics are powerful.
- It establishes good security parameters, and has precise functions to make decisions and solve problems quickly.
- Although it is a relatively simple software to use, it requires a bit of knowledge, which a new user cannot do without consolidating some previous knowledge.
- The technical support team is not ideal; although, on many occasions we have not needed their help, the times we have interacted it has left us wanting more.
- IBM Security Guardium offers great peace of mind; the security with which it protects data is very special, keeps threats away and allows us to solve problems immediately, minimizes risks, and increases data protection to 100%.
- It reduces manual effort since the threat detection and data protection process is very agile and automated.
Currently, we have more peace of mind by keeping our data safe; it ensures that each user has the appropriate permissions to enter the system, the analyzes are very fast, with this system, we get fewer errors, since before using IBM Security Guardium we had great vulnerabilities in our data and few possibilities of resolution of problems.
