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.

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

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

"This is a stable product."

"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."

"The integration with CounterBreach is great."

"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."

"The cyber intelligence feature is the most valuable."

"The initial setup is very simple."

"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pros

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

"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."

Cons

"The updates could be better."

"The platform doesn’t support some newer databases."

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

"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers."

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

"The solution needs local support."

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

"It is very expensive. Its price can be better."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security cons

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product is expensive."

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable and it requires a license."

"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 price of the solution is reasonable. The cost of the solution depends on the customer, they have the flex protect licensing which can vary in price."

"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."

"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security pricing and cost advice

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

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