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."Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"The solution is very stable."
"The integration with CounterBreach is great."
"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."
"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"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."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"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."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"The GUI is bad."
"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."
"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."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"The updates could be better."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"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."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"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."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
