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."

"The most valuable feature for me, in my role as systems DBA, is the expediting of internal and external audits."

"The most valuable feature is the GUI, the interface. It also interfaces well with REST API, if you want to automate some of the commands."

"The features I like are the robust policies, which allow us to create customized monitoring based on specific activities."

"Provides a unified key management system to help simplify encryption key management."

"It protects sensitive data and blocks unauthorized access to the data."

"Our ability to see when users are accessing sensitive data."

"It can help with PCI compliance. It includes features like data masking, especially during queries, which supports compliance efforts."

"Security policy enforcement of policy-based encryption and centralized encryption key management allows us to maintain data in a secure environment."

"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."

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

"There could be a feature to integrate and protect multiple databases. The local support services need improvements as well."

"The price of this solution is quite high for smaller organizations, so they should release a version that is affordable for small and medium-sized businesses."

"Can't be used for a NoSQL database, which is limiting."

"The ability for Central Managers to talk to one another could be improved. I have 26 Central Managers and 26 silos which are independent."

"The user interface could be improved and modernized."

"More automation, user guides, and tips would make this solution better."

"I would like to see IBM Guardium have other encryption algorithms employed."

"I would like to see a lot of additional reporting and analytics features. They have basic outlier detection, but I would love to see that go further, and model it after analytics tools like Splunk."

"The product is expensive."

"Its cost is good. With the new metric of licensing, such as PDO not being available now, customers are expecting a good price for the solution."

"IBM Guardium Data Protection charges you based on the number of users, e.g. based on the number of licenses, and it's either on a per-license or a per-data basis."

"Guardium is most suitable for large scale enterprises because the pricing model is better if you are implementing a large number of databases."

"​If you are researching this type of solution, work with IBM."

"It's an expensive solution"

"The product's pricing is reasonable and affordable. It is in the moderate range."

"Guardium's pricing is quite high, but it gives good value for money for all sizes of enterprises, especially for partners."

"The price is good for the quality of the solution."
