"IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager is a lifesaver for your encryption management problems"
4.5/5
What do you like best about IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager?

It is a good tool for encrypting sensitive data. It can encrypt sensitive data in the database and files stored in the cloud, etc. Also, it helps manage the encryption key life cycle and destroys it when the task is done. So, if a thief gets hold of encrypted data can not do much damage as he does not have the keys. I recommend it for data security solutions and data security management.

What do you dislike about IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager?

It is a good tool and very less known to the outside market. So its market capture is less as compared to other competitors. It has scope to improve in terms of ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Review - IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager is a rescuer for encryption management problems"
4/5
What do you like best about IBM Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager?

It works well to encrypt sensitive data. It may encrypt private information stored in databases and cloud storage, among other places. Additionally, it assists in controlling the life cycle of encryption keys and eliminates them after the job is finished. Because he lacks the keys, a thief who obtains encrypted data will not be able to cause much harm. For data security management and solution needs, I suggest it.

For a company that never had a key management solution, it might take some time to identify all your keys and sensitive information. This is not an issue with the tool per se, but it definitely took some time to fully setup the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
