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 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 tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are vulnerability assessment, enrichment security policy, and security"
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"The company focuses on and has a passion for security."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"Technical support is perfect."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"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."
"It is a good product for controlling all databases. It is helpful for auditing the data. When people are doing any actions on the databases, they are recorded automatically in the vault. You can work on the collected data to find out exactly what is happening on a database. You can implement database encryption on the databases to control people's access to the database content, such as rows and tables."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"The updates could be better."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"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."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"The support could improve."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"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."
"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."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
