I've never had an irresolvable problem with Townsend's PGP and FTP
product. I've had Patrick working on my problems myself.

I agree with Rob that IBM has decent built-in capability with DB2.  It's
just going to take some time by a good programmer to flush it all out,
whereas I'm sure you want something that's quick and easy.
   
  As for Townsend, I recently had a client ping me as to whether NetIQ
had field-level encryption utilities/tools, and I suggested Patrick
Townsend & Associates.  They came back to me with this...  "We tried to
use Patrick Townsend & Associates for our iSeries encryption and to put
it nicely are incredibly unhappy with their product...The problem is/was
that it's very poorly set up.  We've had issue after issue trying to get
their stuff to work.  Then to top it off, we were able to hack it
without any tools, just by looking at it."  He didn't tell me precisely
how they were able to hack it, but he added that PT&A didn't even try to
retain them as a customer, as
if they gave up too easily.
