IBM Security Guardium Data Protection Review
You can not learn Imperva within 1 year. The interface is complicated and difficult to understand. Additionally, Impervan's product scope is not as broad as Guardium's. Guardium is ahead in this regard with its other modules. At Imperva, product admin and access manager are not separate. Root user can be used in Imperva.

Expensive But The Best in Class
IBM Security Guardium provides many more features and capabilities than all the other tools evaluated for this decision. To begin with, there are limited databases that are supported by other database security tools. None of the other evaluated tools have the ability to mask the sensitive data.
Almost a perfect integration. But you need to be skillful in both solutions to make things clear.

IBM Security Guardium is a perfect tool that is a little bit more costly than other tools available on the market. But as compared to features this tool provides a lot of features that can help to detect the anomalies in the data and even help to identify the advanced threats to the system. Also, it helps to secure the cloud-based systems as well.
