McAfee Vulnerability Manager for Databases [EOL] vs Oracle Audit Vault comparison

"The support is very good. They are very quick to respond when we have issues."

"The technical support is good; they are knowledgeable."

"The feature I have found most valuable is activity monitoring."

"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 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."

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

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

"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."

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

"Technical support is perfect."

"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."

"The UI needs to be improved."

"Technical support could be more responsive."

"In the next feature, I'd like to see more integrations and updates overall, specifically bottom tech."

"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."

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

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

"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."

"This solution doesn't audit the network."

"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."

"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."

"It's not expensive compared to other products that are available."

"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."

"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."
