"It tests security to support SOX compliance."
"Supports security initiatives and ensures compliance policies."

"It's allowing us to be more proactive than reactive on alerts and access rights and types of resources that are being hit. Before, there were a lot of different solutions, but this expanded that out and made it a more holistic solution. It provides centralization of monitoring, instead of multiple, disparate applications. It definitely allows more economies of scale, streamlining, less fragmented use."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"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 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."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"It would be helpful, and convenient to improve the Chat support."
"They could enable the out-of-the-box feature to track application user activity."
"It will not go as fast as you want. "
"Personally, I would not recommend this product."
"Performance and the ability to use resources could be improved."
"More automation, user guides, and tips would make this solution better."
"The analysis part of this product could be improved. It's a very comprehensive product, so the features it has complement customer requirements. But I would like to see more emphasis on analytics, and it would be great if they added machine learning. They already have analysis insights, but a comprehensive analytical feature that's already incorporated into the solution would be very helpful."
"Sometimes the connectors to the databases need to be manually updated and we have to configure them again, which is something that should be improved."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"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."
"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."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"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."
