Overall Satisfaction with IBM Security Guardium

We have a wide view of organization databases with Guardium solutions. We have more control over the data and they are facing in a better way the audits. We use the documents and daily reports for audits and verifications. Security in databases is also improved due to features such as CAS or Vulnerability Assessments.
  • Give a range of commands to scope amount of data collected.
  • Helps in aggregating the collected data well.
  • Helps in being compliant with standards.
  • Graphs have scope of improvement in reports.
  • Data classification is a very powerful tool but it does not provide an incremental of the sensitive data found.
  • Deployment process is time taking and slow.
  • The tool is well received.
  • The tools is heavy in storage and backup in terms of data.
  • The tools keeps the auditors happy.
The Guardium is a complete tool to be used in terms of compliance, analytics, DBA, and other monitoring.
