IBM Guardium, an Agile way to Monitor and Protect "Crown Jewels"
What do you like best about the product?
It comes in two flavors. One is DAM and other is FAM. DAM is Database Activity Monitoring while FAM is File Activity Monitoring. DAM is best suitable for structured data, while FAM is for unstructured data.
Its Vulnerability Assessment tool that gives the vulnerabilities against any compliance requirement. Real Time monitoring on who, when what basis of the added databases.
Real Time Blocking on the basis of unauthorized access made to the database.
Central management of all of your database security requirement. We can push the policies from an Aggregator/Central Manager across all the Collectors.
Easy to deploy.
Database addition under Guardium foot print is done by using a light weight agent installed on DB Server that has negligible performance impact.
No changes are required in Database while installing the agent.
Guardium comes with lots of built in rules and policies. We can have a leverage of using them and these policies and rules can cover most part of our Database Monitoring and Security requirements.
Guardium Licenses are perpetual only the support services needs to be renewed on yearly basis.

Guardium Licenses are perpetual only the support services needs to be renewed on yearly basis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Guardium Licensing is a bit tricky. We have to understand that the license is based on per server (IP Address) basis. Lets say if you have one server (a physical or virtual) and there are three databases running on this server, your Guardium license will be ONE (01) only. And if you have three distinct servers with separate IP(s) and these servers are hosting 10 databases in each, your Guardium License will be three.
An utmost care must be taken while selecting the agent to be installed on the server.
Ddeployment should be done once all the requirements are well understood by the client. If, initially, all the requirements couldn't be understood and the solution is deployed with some gaps, o can create problems in future. Secondly, the specifications of all the components should be allocated as per recommendations so as to avoid any performance hit.
It is a costly solution.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time Database monitoring.
Real Time blocking of the unauthorized attempts on Databases. This is achieved by carefully crafting the access policies on databases.
We are now able to have a record of even a change made to a very granular level. We can see that changes have been done in a row, column or cell of a database table and who made these changed at what time. If these assesses and changes are not legitimate, than we can terminate the session of unauthorized user within no time.
This gave us a peace of mind now that an agile protection tool is in place to safeguard our "Crown Jewels".

IBM Guardium has features for health check which you are able to see at one glance. Alerts of self monitoring can be send via email or syslog. Operation team using IBM Guardium does not require to monitor it daily.
When it come to analysis of events, IBM Guardium has A.I. for analysis for anomaly of data. It will help you to study the pattern of your database and provide an anomaly score for your review.
If you are looking for compliance for audit purpose, IBM Guardium can do it as well. Instead of using databases native audit logging which cause huge amount of disk spaces and performance on the database itself

Complete and useful DAM tool
What do you like best about the product?
I have used IBM Guardium Mainly as DAM tool in a pretty large organization
I like plenty of database flavours that IBM Guardium Supports
I like the rapidity the new kernel mosules are get supported (and get released in new KTAP bundles and STAP modules)
The IBM guardium DAM is very versatile and able to integrate and auto-discovery man flavours of Databases on the market
Supports veryvell Oracle ASO Native Encryption and easy support the ATAP integration
The CAS and FAM agents are easy to be deployed and used
The appliances themselves (vmware machines in our case) were pretty straight to be installed/deployed and roll-on in PROD
IBM Guardium is very versatile and easy scaled (even is pretty much resures consuming)
The policies are intuitive an easy so deploy and maintain (even if they need SQL knowlege)
IBM Guardium is easy to be administrated
Has plenty of pre-defined queries and reports
