"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"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 solution is very stable and reliable."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"Technical support is perfect."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"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 GUI for this solution could use some improvement."
"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."
"The updates could be better."
"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"The solution is expensive."
"The GUI is bad."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"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."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"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."
"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."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"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."
