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 functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"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."
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are vulnerability assessment, enrichment security policy, and security"
"I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"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."
"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."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"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."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"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."
"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."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"Reporting could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The support could improve."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
