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."Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"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."
"There are three major main use cases of this solution. The first one is to fulfill compliance regulations. Customers—especially the banks, health sector, and manufacturing—need to comply with the regulations in different countries. They have to fulfill compliance regulations around the privacy of data. In order to fulfill those requirements, they're using Imperva. It helps them to fulfill these requirements, and they are not fined by the regulators. That is the first use case why people buy Imperva."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"This is a stable product."
"The solution is very stable."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"Technical support is perfect."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"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."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"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."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"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 GUI is bad."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"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."
"SecureSphere activity log can be used with Imperva CounterBreach in an effort to protect enterprise data from theft and loss caused."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"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."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
