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 initial setup is very simple."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the database security policy."
"The audit feature is great. It is totally encrypted."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"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."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should 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."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"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."
"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."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"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."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"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."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"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."
"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."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
