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 company focuses on and has a passion for security."
"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."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"This is a stable product."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"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 tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"Technical support is perfect."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"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."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"The GUI is bad."
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"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."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
