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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"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."
"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."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"The product is easy to use and provides good performance."
"The product is fairly easy to implement."
"I haven’t seen any other database perform as well as Oracle."
 

Cons

"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"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."
"The support could improve."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"The solution is excessively expensive. There is a lot of room for improvement, considering the pricing model of the solution."
"The product's cost could be better."
"The solution is relatively expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The product is more costly than its competitors."
