We performed a comparison between Imperva SecureSphere Database Security and jSonar based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the database security policy."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"The centralization of the data is probably the most useful feature because we span multiple database technologies. We also find the GBDI portion of it very helpful."
"It allows us to run models against it and do reports against it without understanding the different database technologies."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"The solution needs local support."
"The updates could be better."
"The GUI is bad."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"It can be simplified as it is a little complicated."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. Right now, it's a little bit of a complicated product to use. Another problem that we have is with encrypted traffic on Oracle. This is because it requires a database outage. That's a pain in the butt because you're monitoring critical systems, and they don't like outages."
