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."It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"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 company focuses on and has a passion for security."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The audit feature is great. It is totally encrypted."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"Technical support is perfect."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"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 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 solution is very stable and reliable."
"The updates could be better."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used."
"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."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Database security from the access management perspective could be better."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"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 performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"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."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
