Oracle Database Administrator at SOCITECH S.A.

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.

A fairly easy product to implement that offers database security

When you open a ticket with the technical support team of Oracle, you need to wait for a long time to get a response from their end. Based on my previous experience with the technical team of Oracle, I have seen that when someone from Oracle's support team fails to resolve an issue and it gets assigned to another support engineer, then we need to again explain the whole issue to them. It is quite hectic to deal with Oracle's support team, and they take a long time to resolve an issue. I rate the technical support a four out of ten.

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

Pros

"The solution is very stable and reliable."

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

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

"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."

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

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

More Oracle Audit Vault pros

"The product is fairly easy to implement."

"The product is easy to use and provides good performance."

"I haven’t seen any other database perform as well as Oracle."

Cons

"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."

"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."

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

"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."

"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"

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

"This solution doesn't audit the network."

More Oracle Audit Vault cons

"The product's cost could be better."

"The solution is excessively expensive. There is a lot of room for improvement, considering the pricing model of the solution."

"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
