Muzzamil Hussain - PeerSpot reviewer
Performs well and key management excels but integration challenges persist
Overall, Guardium is a good solution. However, given the challenges with encryption, we have started considering other solutions. IBM should work on enhancing integration and usability with different databases. I can recommend this solution, however, our organization has faced implementation challenges, leading to a rating of six out of ten.
