One of the foremost feature, which I like best about the IBM Gaurdium is, using machine learning and behaviour analytics to detect anomalies, such as privileged account misues, suspicious data downloads, and block suspicious activities befor they escalate.

4 .Data masking and Encryption

It scans databases for misconfigurations, weak passwords, outdated versions and also it provies recommendations to address the vulnerabilities to make the database more secure.

5. Support for Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Environments

The least helful aspects of IBM Gaudium Data Protection are as follows:

1. Complex Setup and Configuration

The first or the inital deployment is the most time consuming part and requires technical expertise, making it difficult for companies without specialized IT teams.

2. High Cost of Ownership

Licensing fees, infrastructure reqirements, ongoing maintanence costs makes it out of the box, option of small and medium businesses (SMBs).

3. Steep Learning Curve

The IBM Gaurdium hasn't got a very user friendly interface and it requires extensive training to understand and configure policies, reports, alerts and to make changes.

4. Performance Degradation

Continuous monitoring can lead to system performance degradation, when working with large datasets if not optimized properly

5. Limited NoSQL and Mordern Database Support

While it is a good option for SQL databases, it's support for NoSQL databases and unstructured data is very limited, making it hard to work with big data environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
