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."I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"Database reporting features are valuable to us."
"The integration with CounterBreach is great."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"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."
"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 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 most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"Technical support is perfect."
"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 has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"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."
"I have worked with IBM before, and I prefer its ease of deployment and management. Imperva SecureSphere Database Security has tricky deployment, whereas IBM's deployment is straightforward because of the UI."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"Reporting could be improved."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"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."
"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."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"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."
