What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use IBM Guardium Data Protection for data visibility, real-time threat mitigation, and regulatory compliance.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about IBM Guardium Data Protection is that it addresses data security from a pragmatic end-to-end point of view. The tool goes beyond the mere identification of vulnerabilities by focusing on the actual sensitive data, its owners, and authorized users and how they treat this information. Monitoring, auditing, and compliance features are also compelling from the perspective of my daily job.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main negative thing about Guardium is that it can be complex to configure and administer, especially for environments that are large or that involve many data sources. It has a great number of features, which is good to see, but that could make the product appear as something too complicated for a company that wants an easy solution for monitoring critical data. I find that this aspect could be improved to make the product more accessible for everyday use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Guardium is a great solution for such cases when there is no visibility of sensitive information and its access. In the field of security, the aspect of where the data is, who has access to it, and who has unauthorized access is of great importance. The tools for monitoring, auditing, and alarms help me detect and analyze anomalies, investigate events, incidents, and ensure compliance without spending much time on manual checks.
