- Imperva Data Security Fabric
Best for: One view across on-premises and cloud data
It is on this list because it puts database activity from on-premises and several clouds into one view with one set of policies. That suits a hybrid mid-market or enterprise estate where data is spread thin. Since Thales now owns it, ask how it will sit next to the Thales encryption and key products on the roadmap.

- 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.
