Nothing, IBM Security Guardium provides complete control in your data with easy and secure way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Guardium is a solution that integrate several tools which work together to protect the sensitive data of your bussiness. It is very easy to install on the databases and it doesn't has a big impact on them, so enterprises could use it without big changes.

The different features of Guardium provides all that customers need to inspect SQL traffic and avoid data loss. Guardium can help both IT and compliance teams due to this SQL inspection features and the reporting tools.

Customers doesn't have to take care of all SQL traffic because Guardium also provides data classification, which can search on databases to find the data that customers wants to categorize as sensitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Guardium provides reporting tools but some customers needs are not satisfied. This reports could be exported in some formats or configured as Dashboards, but graphs have to be improve if Guardium wants to offer reporting as a main feature. The customization is poor and it is not easy to work with graphs in GUI.

Data classification is a very powerfull tool but it does not provides an incremental of the sensitive data found, so it can be heavy to process all information after classification process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It comes in two flavors. One is DAM and other is FAM. DAM is Database Activity Monitoring while FAM is File Activity Monitoring. DAM is best suitable for structured data, while FAM is for unstructured data.

Its Vulnerability Assessment tool that gives the vulnerabilities against any compliance requirement. Real Time monitoring on who, when what basis of the added databases.

Real Time Blocking on the basis of unauthorized access made to the database.

Easy to deploy.

Database addition under Guardium foot print is done by using a light weight agent installed on DB Server that has negligible performance impact.

No changes are required in Database while installing the agent.

Guardium comes with lots of built in rules and policies. We can have a leverage of using them and these policies and rules can cover most part of our Database Monitoring and Security requirements.

Guardium Licenses are perpetual only the support services needs to be renewed on yearly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Guardium Licensing is a bit tricky. We have to understand that the license is based on per server (IP Address) basis. Lets say if you have one server (a physical or virtual) and there are three databases running on this server, your Guardium license will be ONE (01) only. And if you have three distinct servers with separate IP(s) and these servers are hosting 10 databases in each, your Guardium License will be three.

An utmost care must be taken while selecting the agent to be installed on the server.

Ddeployment should be done once all the requirements are well understood by the client. If, initially, all the requirements couldn't be understood and the solution is deployed with some gaps, o can create problems in future. Secondly, the specifications of all the components should be allocated as per recommendations so as to avoid any performance hit.

It is a costly solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
