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 performance of the solution is good."
"The integration is great."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"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."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"The integration with CounterBreach is great."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"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."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"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."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"The solution needs local support."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers."
"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."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"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."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"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."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
