DataSunrise Database Security vs Oracle Audit Vault comparison

"We have a law in Turkey similar to the GDPR in the European Union. It's almost like a replica. Complying with this law is crucial, and the service plays a significant role. Many customer inquiries revolve around not retaining their data. The service addresses this by providing functionality for masking data within the databases. So, if a user requests data deletion, we can remove any information we have on them within the database, ensuring compliance with the law."

"The most valuable feature of DataSunrise Database Security is Dynamic Masking. You don't need to build copies of the database and is highly customizable. It is a very good unique feature. It also has built-in algorithms, or machine learning, which is quite helpful, because it understands the user's behaviors and patterns to apply certain policies."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."

"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."

"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."

"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."

"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."

"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."

"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."

"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."

"I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption."

"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."

"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."

"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."

"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."

"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."

"This solution doesn't audit the network."

"The product is expensive."

"The licensing cost is about $360,000, annually."

"Oracle can be an expensive solution depending on the options and user needs."

"This solution is definitely not expensive, and it is a small fraction of the overall database licensing costs."

"For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."
