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."Ability to send event monitoring and administrative activities."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management."
"The tool happens to be very intelligent when it comes to processing policies and sounding alerts. It allows us to implement policies and measure actions against them, raising alerts accordingly."
"This is a stable product."
"The performance of the solution is good."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The technical support for Imperva is super, super, super."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"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 most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"It is very expensive. Its price can be better."
"Sometimes the reports are cumbersome, and you have to drill down to get more information."
"Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling."
"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."
"The GUI is bad."
"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."
"Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful."
"The solution could improve by having more integration."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"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."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"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."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
