Cyral vs. Imperva Data Security

For all companies engaged in data processing and business, this is an excellent software to feel much more confident that all your data, analysis, graphics and business analysis, are in complete safety. The whole department is happy to work with the software because it is very easy to use.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

• Alerts when suspicious activity is detected
• Records all database transactions for analysis
• Determines activities in stored procedures

• Navigation of the menus can get confusing pretty quickly. Since there are so many, it is extremely easy to get lost. Almost too many options and data.
• Configuring the agents can be very difficult if you are new to it. Having to save after every single change made to an agent during a configuration can be very tedious. Also having to make sure certain options are checked off in two separate places for a single option is very annoying.
• Navigation of the menus is not always intuitive and not very obvious that the option you are looking change is located in that menu.

Incentivized

• Allowed us to meet important compliance requirements.
• When protecting critical data, we can see exactly how it's being used and by whom.
• Licensing costs are very reasonable.
• It takes a fair amount of administration to use properly.
