IBM Guardium
Best for: Large companies with many database types
Guardium earns its place on coverage, because one product watches a very wide spread of database types across on-premises and cloud. That makes it a natural fit for a mid-market or enterprise estate with many platforms and strict audit duties. Its scope now reaches into DSPM, AI and cryptography, so be clear which parts you need for databases before you scope the deal.
