Guardium can help you to protect customers sensitive data

  • June 18, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Customers can have a widely view of organization data with Guardium solutions. By this way, they have more control over this data and they are faceing in a better way the audits.

Security in databases are also improved due to features such as CAS or Vulnerability Assessments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
IBM Guardium can help your company to accomplish with compliance requirements an data security in a easy way.

The compliance standards, it's monitoring mechanisms and support provided for product. Learning the tool is also very easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
To troubleshoot using command prompt, the commands to be used are application specific and the output of any commands would be downloaded as a zip folder with requested output.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked for securing and automating the data from various platforms of databases and applications. The monitoring and automating/scheduling mechanisms for storing and accessing the data actually helps. The way of configuring alerts, upgrading few components, vulnerability acessments etc., helps to safeguard the data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a beneficial tool. If the data to be safeguard is large and sensitive can go for it, since it offers good support and many features.
