We began using it for database monitoring. We can now quickly monitor crucial databases, transactions, log activity, user activity, all modifications, and a variety of other things. Its alerting function is a lifesaver since it alerts us if any questionable behavior happens. It also keeps track of all database transactions and arranges our operations in a logical order. It enabled us to satisfy crucial compliance standards, and when it comes to protecting vital data, we can quickly monitor how and by whom it is being utilized. It only takes a little bit of administration to get it to work correctly.

Imperva Data Masking (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Like

The application keeps many data masking techniques that are widely used in the industry and are constantly updated. It offers built-in templates and also predefined rules saves that save a lot of time. Through data linkage identity automation, Imperva Data Masking has greatly reduced our human effort and enabled us to operate a more effective sensitive data analysis process, permitting us to find and monitor changes in our confidential data in real-time, other data masking applications with which I have previously worked do not have this feature.

Like

Imperva is capable of much more than data masking since it assists us in testing, learning, app development, and operational operations while protecting our sensitive data. Even though the data is unprotected, we are always safe since unauthorized persons will not be able to recover private data or information. The auditing features of Imperva are excellent, and the system provides excellent reliability and tweaking options for the agents on the servers. Our company guarantees that our systems are properly configured for failover.

Like

Its open architecture allows it to quickly adapt to any company's hybrid working atmosphere and it works with all enterprise databases and we can even run it on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. It's also simple to set up, administer, and maintain, even newbies can easily use it, allowing for a consistent masking procedure. The information gathered is excellent, and it is given in a readily understandable way for auditors and the system's agents on the servers are exceptional which provides excellent internal consistency. This Data Masking tool employs algorithms and data analysis to examine sensitive data linkages. Imperva Data Masking has greatly lowered our human work and enables us to perform a more effective sensitive data analysis process through data linkages identity automation, allowing us to discover and monitor changes in our sensitive data in real-time. Other data masking programs with which I have previously dealt do not have such functionality.

Dislike

Getting support from their team can be tough sometimes because they are less experienced and do not have knowledge about their product to fix my problems on time. There were several issues while interacting with other internal applications and pricing can be more adaptable.

Dislike

The menu's navigation becomes perplexing. Agent configuration may be challenging at times, and alerts need a great deal of fine-tuning to produce useful insight. It has the potential to irritate everyone.

Dislike

A lot of fine tweaking is required in the alerts feature of the Imperva tool so they can provide users with actionable intelligence. Getting help from their team is hard at times because they are less experienced and don't have enough knowledge about their product to solve my issues on time.

    Maintain data accuracy and security in a less secure environment

    Dec 18, 2021
    The Imperva Data Masking tool is capable of much more than just data masking. It helps us in testing, learning, app development, and operational processes while shielding sensitive data from being accessed. It replaces our sensitive data with fictional but provides accurate values in non-production contexts, ensuring analytical and functional accuracy. Even in an unprotected setting, we are always safe because if unauthorized people obtain access, they will not be able to retrieve our confidential information. After all, the disguised material preserves its realism without revealing its original qualities.
