What do you dislike?

One of the connectors of Gemalto, ProtectDB, is not recommended to clients who uses 3rd party applications and will not be able to modify how their applications and databases behave. Although it is really secured, not being able to modify the applications and databases to behave exactly as how ProtectDB needs it to be will lead to performance issues. Before implementing ProtectDB to clients, make sure that they can and they are WILLING to modify the applications and databases that they use.
