We performed a comparison between Fortinet FortiDB [EOL], IDERA SQL Compliance Manager, 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 dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects."
"The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security."
"We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."
"The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well."
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is perfect."
"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 feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"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."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly."
"We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption."
"I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."
"Some use case analyses could be improved."
"The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved."
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL."
"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."
"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."
"Its filtration and navigation are not the best."
"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."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"The support could improve."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
