IBM Guardium vs. Imperva Data Security

It checks many boxes when it comes to security. It allows you to see all the DB activity that goes on, report on it, and send it to SIEM. The analytics part extends this product even more. The investigation dashboard makes it easier to find outliers or specifics without running queries or reports.

Compliance to audits and HiTrust certification. It is key in ensuring that our audits are completed in a timely manner with no repeats of data requests and that we also are HiTrust certified at our organization. Personally while the data obfuscation is available I am not sure I would fully trust that the data is completely sanitized if need be. It's not against the Imperva product but more of issue of data being used.

It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.
