Executive Summary

Although Symantec Database Security (SDS) is a late arrival to the database security game, it has done extremely well to gain a spot in the Strong Performer's category within a year after its general availability. SDS offers a good balance of features and functionality and is especially strong around repository management, activity monitoring, custom policy creation, and ease of use. A key shortcoming is the inability to integrate with packaged applications or files. To make SDS more competitive, Symantec needs to take the product enhancements to the next level by adding more advanced features and functionality to compete against the products of leading vendors like Guardium and Imperva. SDS is a good start for Symantec, but much work remains to be done before it can aspire to take a top spot.
