Useful for monitoring database activities but improvement is needed in distributor networks

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. It functions as a proxy for database access. However, this could be an area for improvement. Currently, it doesn't use agents to integrate with databases; instead, all database instances must connect through DataSunrise Database Security as a proxy. While this setup is mostly done on our Windows server, using an agent approach might sometimes be more convenient for companies compared to a proxy approach.

Provides good security, and is helpful for auditing the data and seeing what's happening

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. I use it only for security purposes, and they can continue to improve it with more security tools and features. It should be powerful like FortiGate. When it becomes powerful like FortiGate, people will only go for this solution for their infrastructure. Their support could be faster.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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."

"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 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."

"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."

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

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

"The solution is very stable and reliable."

"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."

"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."

"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."

"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."

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

"This solution doesn't audit the network."

"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."

More Oracle Audit Vault cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

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

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

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

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