Assistant Vice President at National Bank of Pakistan

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.

Manager at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Good support, stable, and offers encryption at both the column and table level

The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables. We are also getting the benefit of detection data. If I want to share data with another Oracle user then the data sharing is automatically detected. We don't need to modify anything. This is a complete security solution and all of the features that we are using are available off the shelf.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The key management functionality in Guardium performs well and integrates easily with SIEM."

"The features that are the most used by the customers and partners are, at the moment, for GDPR, so obviously data encryption and data reduction. Our customers also like the partitioning option."

"The most valuable feature is the data encryption option for columns and tables."

Cons

"There is a need for an improvement in native masking functionality, especially for databases like Oracle."

"Having a single command to encrypt a table would be an improvement."

"It is really constrained as an environment because you cannot change something that would be useful. It is a very good product because it is very similar to what you have on-premises. Yes, it is constrained, but it is expected because it is a platform as a service so it has to be constrained."
