DataSunrise Database Security vs IBM Security Guardium Data Protection comparison

"We have a law in Turkey similar to the GDPR in the European Union. It's almost like a replica. Complying with this law is crucial, and the service plays a significant role. Many customer inquiries revolve around not retaining their data. The service addresses this by providing functionality for masking data within the databases. So, if a user requests data deletion, we can remove any information we have on them within the database, ensuring compliance with the law."

"The most valuable feature of DataSunrise Database Security is Dynamic Masking. You don't need to build copies of the database and is highly customizable. It is a very good unique feature. It also has built-in algorithms, or machine learning, which is quite helpful, because it understands the user's behaviors and patterns to apply certain policies."

"Compliance Quick Start – Quick, GUI, step-by-step guide to automate compliance and give the customer a quick ROI."

"One of the most valuable features is the accelerator. It has a predefined report for PCI SOX compliance and other compliances."

"Has a great Big Data Intelligence feature."

"We also use IBM Guardium to support security initiatives and compliance policies. For example, our audit area can verify if someone has access to information that they shouldn't have, for their regular job functions."

"It supports our audit compliance."

"The solution supports a lot of databases."

"The most valuable feature is the visualization of data and the ability to monitor our databases."

"The possible number of databases and database servers which can be monitored by Guardium is high. For me, this is a differentiator of IBM."

"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."

"I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption."

"We've had some issues recently that we're working through, on the agent software that runs on the databases."

"Using the data in native Guardium is difficult, at best."

"The main issue I have with IBM Security Guardium Data Protection is the support. It's not good."

"Needs easier integration with custom applications."

"Could be more user friendly; deployment is a little complex."

"I'd like to them make sure that the data sources can be more easily managed, because some of them are tied to multiple things. You try to remove one and you have to go to all the different spots to remove the associations before you can get rid of it."

"I would like them to support cloud services."

"The solution should allow the data to shift to a centralized repository with elastic servers and big data infrastructure"

"The product is expensive."

"The tool is not cheap, but it is not expensive."

"Reasonable cost but could be lower."

"The price of the solution could be better."

"It's an expensive solution"

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"The biggest challenge is the cost associated with the product, and the cost of maintaining. Everything is not translated directly to the benefits we see. There are benefits, yes, but if I were writing the check, would I buy Guardium? No."

"The cost depends on the number of databases. You can purchase advanced licenses, but the standard license is calculated based on the number of databases you have to onboard."

"For IBM Guardium, licensing is very simple and straightforward. There are no issues I can speak of."
