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."A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The solution is very stable."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"Our clients can see all of their past actions or the wrong activity done on the network. We can load the diagnostics for the business."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"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."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"Technical support is perfect."
"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 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."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"The GUI is bad."
"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."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"I have worked with IBM before, and I prefer its ease of deployment and management. Imperva SecureSphere Database Security has tricky deployment, whereas IBM's deployment is straightforward because of the UI."
"The solution needs local support."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"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."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"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 support could improve."
