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."A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The integration is great."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are vulnerability assessment, enrichment security policy, and security"
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"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."
"Technical support is perfect."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"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."
"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."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"The agent does not monitor databases in the containers."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"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."
"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."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"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."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
