Provides cluster management and has the ability to receive alerts if anyone tries to tamper a database

It would be more efficient if we could manage the consoles of management servers from a single location. Currently, if the management server for our DR environment is separate from the production management server, we have to log in to each server individually. For example, to check the status of production servers integrated with Infowa, I need to log in to the production management server. Similarly, I have to log in to the DR management server to check the status of the DR servers. Connecting both servers and managing them through a single console would make it easier to handle all alerts in one place.

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pros

Cons

"The agent does not monitor databases in the containers."

"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."

"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."

"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."

"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."

"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."

"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."

"The solution is expensive."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security cons

"Technical support could be more responsive."

"The UI needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very high but compared to the price of the overall solution, then I think it's a good deal because the solution itself is great."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."

"The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."

"It is very expensive."

"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security was quite expensive several years ago, but now they provide a subscription plan for licensing. It is available now for smaller and medium-sized companies, not only large enterprises."

"It is quite expensive. We wanted it in my former organization, but the price was very high. So, we couldn't purchase it. I moved to a different organization, and this organization has purchased it."

"We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."

"The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."
