We performed a comparison between Imperva SecureSphere Database Security and Oracle Audit Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"As we are very sensitive to financial impacts, this product provides great protection for our organization."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"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."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."
"The GUI is bad."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is very expensive. Its price can be better."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security could improve the database defense feature called camouflage. This feature was responsible for the data mask but now it does not work well and we need another solution. All our banks have teams that are regarded with care and they need to mask sensitive data in order to provide testing to developers."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"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."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"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."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"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."
