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."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 discovery module provides good visibility."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Currently, we have audit features for auditing databases, for example, granular auditing, which we really enjoy. We've been using it to check what users do."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"The functionality is very useable and easy to understand."
"The solution is very stable."
"The audit feature is great. It is totally encrypted."
"Technical support is perfect."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"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."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"SecureSphere activity log can be used with Imperva CounterBreach in an effort to protect enterprise data from theft and loss caused."
"The GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"Database security from the access management perspective could be better."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"It is quite expensive. I would prefer a lower price."
"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."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"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."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"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."
"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."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
