Proactive security capabilities
In Satori, it's quick to transition from monitoring to policy enforcement, including dynamic masking, fine-grained access control, and just-in-time data access.

Imperva DAM takes a more reactive security approach with a focus on traditional monitoring.
Modern security architecture
Built from the ground up as a unified data security platform (DSP), Satori supports modern data technologies and security controls.
Application user mapping
Satori can identify real users behind generic database connections, even in BI tools.

Imperva DAM lacks advanced user-mapping capabilities, making it harder to track individual activity in shared database connections.
