We performed a comparison between Imperva SecureSphere Database Security and Oracle Audit Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integration with CounterBreach is great."
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"This is a stable product."
"The integration is great."
"The solution is very stable."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"The critical event alerts and reporting features have greatly reduced loss of man hours that would have been spent on going through the whole audit event logs."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"It is a good product for controlling all databases. It is helpful for auditing the data. When people are doing any actions on the databases, they are recorded automatically in the vault. You can work on the collected data to find out exactly what is happening on a database. You can implement database encryption on the databases to control people's access to the database content, such as rows and tables."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"Our client was scheduled to take a year and a half to set up compliance, but by deploying this product they were able to do the compliance reports within three months."
"The only challenge I see is that SecureSphere is deployed on servers or databases which are held on physical infrastructure. However, there are databases which are hosted on cloud platforms and Imperva has a separate tool altogether for that, not SecureSphere."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The solution needs local support."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Database security from the access management perspective could be better."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"Currently, you need two servers: one for Audit Vault and one for the firewall. If they can combine them into one server, it will be great because it is costly to have two servers. It will also make its installation easier. I have heard that in the new version, there will be only one server for both."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"We would like to see the ability to administer and manage the solution through Enterprise Manager 13c, and development of the dashboards that are generally missing."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"The support could improve."
"I hear from many people that say IBM Guardian is better than Oracle Audit Vault when it comes to performance. IBM Guardian works transparently in the database, but Oracle Audit Vault consumes some ratios on the server."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
