PrashantParab

Security Analist at HDFC Bank

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.

Oracle Database Administrator at SOCITECH S.A.

Provides good security, and is helpful for auditing the data and seeing what's happening

Currently, you need two servers: one for Audit Vault and one for the firewall. If they can combine them into one server, it will be great because it is costly to have two servers. It will also make its installation easier. I have heard that in the new version, there will be only one server for both. I use it only for security purposes, and they can continue to improve it with more security tools and features. It should be powerful like FortiGate. When it becomes powerful like FortiGate, people will only go for this solution for their infrastructure. Their support could be faster.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is reasonable compared to other products."

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

"The product is expensive."

"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."

"Imperva is too expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises. They're missing out on technology that helps them manage their data security better. Data security is essential because even the strongest network may be attacked from the inside without it."

"The setup and license are quite expensive."

"They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."

"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."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pricing and cost advice

"This solution is definitely not expensive, and it is a small fraction of the overall database licensing costs."

"The licensing cost is about $360,000, annually."

"Oracle can be an expensive solution depending on the options and user needs."

"For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."
