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.

Cyber Security Architect at Oakmount

A tool that offers a proper view and division of all databases while also allowing users to do continuous monitoring

I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL. Trustwave DbProtect doesn't accept some versions of SQL. Some credentials when you are installing give some problems, but all of them did pass through the installation phase but gave a certain amount of hard work to be done during the installation phase. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement. The pain points with Trustwave DbProtect were about the installation and problems with the different versions not being accepted. A more compatible version of the product with other databases and operating systems should be possible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."

"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."

"The solution provides significant benefits such as compliance and security. Its data risk analytics tool helps reduce numerous events to more manageable incidents."

"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."

"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."

"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."

"The audit feature is great. It is totally encrypted."

"It is very effective, and we are using four main features. The first feature is cluster management, which allows me to redirect an agent to another gateway if one goes down."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pros

"Transfer and vulnerability scanning are the most valuable features of this product."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can have a good view which is provided with a proper division of all your databases, which you can see in Trustwave DbProtect."

"This solution helps our clients to monitor their database use, and detect violations of the policy."

Cons

"Data encryption. Yeah, Imperva needs to pull up on data encryption and make it a standard feature to allow maybe for tokenization, encryption of data, and things like that."

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

"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."

"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."

"The interface is not user-friendly."

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

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

"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security cons

"The product does not have encryption or data masking."

"We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard."

"I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

"This is an expensive solution and the price should be reduced."

"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."

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

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

"Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."

"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."

"It is very expensive."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pricing and cost advice

"The licensing fees, including support, are approximately $5,000 USD per database, per year."

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest."
