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."Imperva's most valuable features are ease of use and log correlation. I also like the ability to trace activity from the host machine to the server access, the user details, and the exact query that they executed. If a database administrator or application process executes a query on the database, people know exactly what was executed, including all the variables."
"The tool happens to be very intelligent when it comes to processing policies and sounding alerts. It allows us to implement policies and measure actions against them, raising alerts accordingly."
"The company focuses on and has a passion for security."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The integration with CounterBreach is great."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"Technical support is perfect."
"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."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"Data encryption. Yeah, Imperva needs to pull up on data encryption and make it a standard feature to allow maybe for tokenization, encryption of data, and things like that."
"Reporting could be improved."
"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."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"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."
