What do you like best about IBM Guardium Data Protection?

IBM Security Guardian helped to secure my privacy, and integrity of my data and information that proved to be the most critical for my working environment.

What do you like best about IBM Guardium Data Protection?

I like the security aspect and updated data information that can be used across platforms. I also like that since we don't use apple computers, it's an easier interface. IBM has a reputable name, so I trust it as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Guardium Data Protection?

I enjoy IBM but I do feel as though they don't keep up with the times as far as media updates, latest up to date quarter, trends, etc. I wish they were a little more modern in their networking and interface. I wish more companies were using the program, so that we could also consult with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Guardium Data Protection:

Check with your computers, interface, other programs that you are using to make sure they are user friendly. I would also go check different consumer reviews and also the pricing. If there is a trial period, and also the jump in cost after the initial development period. That was one thing that I wish we looked at prior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Guardium Data Protection solving and how is that benefiting you?

Solving interface and data security breaches, we've realized the benefits of having the security that we haven't had before so it's a nice ease of mind. Now a days with all the security breaches, it's important to know we have that peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better testing before the product is ready would help. Also, reporting capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
