We performed a comparison between IDERA SQL Compliance Manager, Imperva SecureSphere Database Security, and Oracle Audit Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The tool can track logins and login failures. I made my own alert so that if there is a certain number of login failures for a server, it emails me. That is really useful. If I want logins to automatically lock out after a certain number of failed attempts, I can know when that happens."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ability to track activity including the SQL statements is definitely valuable. I really like how the database is laid out. It's straightforward. I can query the back-end tables. I've made a few of my own email alerts based on the data and the tables. It's accessible."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"The tool's pricing is flexible and affordable for small and medium enterprises."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"This solution has helped secure our Internet-based services, protecting us against DoS and other types of web-based attacks."
"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."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"Technical support is perfect."
"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."
"The set up is kind of clunky, in my opinion. It's not really intuitive. If they had either a smoother install or better instructions, that would be nice."
"I submitted a ticket (last year) about archiving/grooming of old records because the GUI functionality was not working. Per their recommendation, I ended up using a command line to do it."
"Its filtration and navigation are not the best."
"There is an agent that collects the data on SQL Server. Sometimes it will stop collecting. I'm not exactly sure what's happening but I have to go in and manually restart the agent. It would be nice if the central collection server could send a request to the agent to restart."
"What would really a good thing is if you could refer to an external list or table for filtering on, say, certain applications, IP addresses, or host names; or perhaps even combinations of host name and application name."
"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 solution could improve by having more integration."
"Overall, it's a very good product but they could do with some modifications log-wise."
"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."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"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."
"The support could improve."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"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 performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
