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 most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"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."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"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."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."
"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."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"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."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"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."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"The updates could be better."
"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."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The support could improve."
"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."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"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."
