The based understanding of how to use it has greatly improved since V10 a few years ago. I think i still has remove for improvement around the GUI to stream line setup of the service and upgrade maintenance to automate configuration that is needed for upgrades.
Yes monitor security threats have been proactively added value, however the manually device and user Maintenance can cause lot of time spent to get that. Security Posture has greatly improved with our VA setup, data configuration has been closely monitored.
Guardium stacks up well with other products. So far we have not seen something that would improve enough for us to leave the platform
