The least helful aspects of IBM Gaudium Data Protection are as follows:
1. Complex Setup and Configuration
The first or the inital deployment is the most time consuming part and requires technical expertise, making it difficult for companies without specialized IT teams.
2. High Cost of Ownership
Licensing fees, infrastructure reqirements, ongoing maintanence costs makes it out of the box, option of small and medium businesses (SMBs).
3. Steep Learning Curve
The IBM Gaurdium hasn't got a very user friendly interface and it requires extensive training to understand and configure policies, reports, alerts and to make changes.
4. Performance Degradation
Continuous monitoring can lead to system performance degradation, when working with large datasets if not optimized properly
5. Limited NoSQL and Mordern Database Support
While it is a good option for SQL databases, it's support for NoSQL databases and unstructured data is very limited, making it hard to work with big data environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
