Imperva SecureSphere Database Security vs Oracle Audit Vault comparison

"The solution is very stable."

"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."

"It is very effective, and we are using four main features. The first feature is cluster management, which allows me to redirect an agent to another gateway if one goes down."

"It has a lot of different components that cover the needs of our customers."

"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team.

"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."

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

"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."

"Technical support is perfect."

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

"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."

"The solution is very stable and reliable."

"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."

"Technical support for this solution needs improvement."

"The platform doesn’t support some newer databases."

"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."

"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience."

"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."

"The solution needs local support."

"The solution could improve by having more integration."

"The solution is expensive."

"The support could improve."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It is very expensive."

"There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."

"The product is expensive."

"This is an expensive solution and the price should be reduced."

"They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."

"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."

"The price of the solution is reasonable and it requires a license."

"The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."

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

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

"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."
