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."The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the database security policy."
"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 feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"The solution needs local support."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"SecureSphere activity log can be used with Imperva CounterBreach in an effort to protect enterprise data from theft and loss caused."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"Database security from the access management perspective could be better."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"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."
"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."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"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."
"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."
