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 solution is very stable."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"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."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"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."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"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."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"Some cloud versions are not supported by the agent."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"The GUI is bad."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"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."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"The solution is expensive."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"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."
"The support could improve."
"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."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"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."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
