Our take
What our shortlists say about each one.
- Cord3
Best for: Mid-market and enterprise teams blocking insider threats from DBAs
The limitation is that Cord3 is a focused solution. It does not do monitoring, behavioral analytics, SQL injection prevention, or compliance reporting. The company size fit is mid-market and enterprise, which reflects the reality that the insider threat use case is most acute in organizations with large numbers of privileged users and significant regulatory exposure. For organizations that have already invested in PAM and UBA but still have a gap around privileged access to raw data, Cord3 addresses that gap directly.

- Trellix Database Security
Best for: Older databases that can no longer be patched
It earns its place on virtual patching, which buys you time on databases you cannot patch or take offline. That fits mid-market and enterprise teams running older systems next to newer ones. Ask how its cloud coverage compares with its on-premises list, because the cloud side is limited to Amazon RDS.
