Serves as a data lake for database activity and helps to centralize and normalize data

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

"It allows us to run models against it and do reports against it without understanding the different database technologies."
"The centralization of the data is probably the most useful feature because we span multiple database technologies. We also find the GBDI portion of it very helpful."
"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."
"Technical support is perfect."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"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."

Cons

"It can be simplified as it is a little complicated."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. Right now, it's a little bit of a complicated product to use. Another problem that we have is with encrypted traffic on Oracle. This is because it requires a database outage. That's a pain in the butt because you're monitoring critical systems, and they don't like outages."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"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."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"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."
"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."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I know it's not cheap."
"For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."
"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."
"The licensing cost is about $360,000, annually."
