DataSunrise Database and Data Security w/ Hourly Billing

What do you like best about the product?

It is an excellent database security and monitoring tool that unifies features such as firewall, auditing, vulnerability scanning, and data masking.

What do you dislike about the product?

It requires a lot of knowledge of how to use the tool due to the large number of features and options it has that allow you to create very specific rules.

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

It has allowed us to limit the access and actions that can be executed in the databases, in addition to monitoring the security events that occur in them, allowing us to receive alerts and take action in the event of any anomaly or cybersecurity incident that may arise.

What do you like best about the product?

It is easy to install or implement, its configuration is very intuitive, easy to use, its support is efficient and responds quickly. Something interesting is its integration.

What do you dislike about the product?

They should update the manuals and guides, but it is compensated by the support.

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

Comply with banking security regulations, control user access by groups and schedules, audits, all without touching the database or the need to add anything to the DB.

Most of our users, including customers, use it primarily as a Database Activity Monitor. They utilize it to track who is logging into which database and monitor their activities. This includes tasks such as restricting certain SQL commands and understanding environmental limits related to database access.

We have a law in Turkey similar to the GDPR in the European Union. It's almost like a replica. Complying with this law is crucial, and the service plays a significant role. Many customer inquiries revolve around not retaining their data. The service addresses this by providing functionality for masking data within the databases. So, if a user requests data deletion, we can remove any information we have on them within the database, ensuring compliance with the law.

The discovery and masking features, encompassing both static and dynamic database masking, are incredibly useful for ensuring compliance. Most of the time, not everyone accessing the database is a developer or a database admin. Developers might need to see everything, but database admins, even though they manage the database, don't necessarily need to see all the data, especially customer data. So, using masking for database admins and not displaying data in clear text is quite helpful for compliance.

I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption.

It functions as a proxy for database access. However, this could be an area for improvement. Currently, it doesn't use agents to integrate with databases; instead, all database instances must connect through DataSunrise Database Security as a proxy. While this setup is mostly done on our Windows server, using an agent approach might sometimes be more convenient for companies compared to a proxy approach.

I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I haven't encountered any issues. 

I rate the tool's scalability an eight out of ten. I find it quite agile, and it can scale up. However, the agentless and proxy approach does pose limitations on scalability. Adapting existing infrastructure to work with the proxy setup requires modifications. The largest implementation we've done involved around 150 database admins, developers, and similar roles.

The distributor network in Turkey handles the support, and unfortunately, we are quite dissatisfied with them. While I believe the support team from DataSunrise Database Security itself is likely good, we don't have direct contact with them, making it challenging for me to provide an accurate judgment. However, based on our experience with the distributor, I would rate it a minus one.

The tool's deployment is easy. The deployment duration depends on the size of the infrastructure we're dealing with. For a smaller setup with just a couple of database instances, it usually takes about a week at most, perhaps even a couple of days depending on the specific requirements and the process of setting up the service.

The product is expensive. 

I rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

What do you like best about the product?

It's data masking solution is the best and very helpful

What do you dislike about the product?

I believe there could be more solutions which would make it more helpful

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

It helps in keeping our database secure and there is minimal risk with this software

What do you like best about the product?

This tool has acted as guard to protect sensitive data to avoid exposure to the outside world. The platform masks sensitive data with encryption code which makes it very secure and makes the supply of data intact. This process is done on a real-time basis and keeps on changing the encryption.

What do you dislike about the product?

There are multiple options but the production team can add vulnerability options also so that the overall protection can be improved. Also the user interface can be improved so that the user does not feels bored while working on this.

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

It has helped to secure our database which was quite exposed to the outside world earlier. We had several cyber attacks as well earlier but after we have started using this there is not a single instance of a data breach.
