This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

IBM acquired the privately-held company Consul Risk Management in December 2006. With this acquisition, IBM got a database auditing tool called Consul InSight, recently rebranded Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager (TCIM). Although Consul InSight does not have top scores compared to leading vendors such as Guardium and Imperva, it offers a reasonably rich auditing solution suitable for most small to moderate auditing environments. Consul InSight's core strengths are in mainframe auditing and the ability to capture audit data from various files, devices, and servers. To expand the penetration of this product, IBM would have to improve features that support integration with packaged and custom applications, offer fraud detection and real-time session block capability, and focus on centralized administration to support large-scale deployments.
