Yves Moro

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.

Marcelo Raza

Cyber Security Architect at Oakmount

A tool that offers a proper view and division of all databases while also allowing users to do continuous monitoring

I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL. Trustwave DbProtect doesn't accept some versions of SQL. Some credentials when you are installing give some problems, but all of them did pass through the installation phase but gave a certain amount of hard work to be done during the installation phase. The aforementioned area needs to be considered for improvement. The pain points with Trustwave DbProtect were about the installation and problems with the different versions not being accepted. A more compatible version of the product with other databases and operating systems should be possible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."

"Technical support is perfect."

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

"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."

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

"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 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."

More Oracle Audit Vault pros

"This solution helps our clients to monitor their database use, and detect violations of the policy."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that you can have a good view which is provided with a proper division of all your databases, which you can see in Trustwave DbProtect."

"Transfer and vulnerability scanning are the most valuable features of this product."

Cons

"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 support could improve."

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

"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."

"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."

"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."

More Oracle Audit Vault cons

"We have not been able to integrate this product with a lot of standard incident response solutions, so an open API would help in this regard."

"The product does not have encryption or data masking."

"I have seen that the tool's installation phase has some problems regarding the versions, specifically the version of SQL."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."

"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."

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the highest."

"The licensing fees, including support, are approximately $5,000 USD per database, per year."

Application Security DbProtect

Overview

Oracle Audit Vault monitors Oracle and non-Oracle database traffic to detect and block threats, as well as improves compliance reporting by consolidating audit data from databases, operating systems, directories, and other sources.

Oracle

Trustwave DbProtect is a security platform designed for consistent monitoring and management of enterprise databases within the data center.

Built on a centrally managed and distributed architecture, DbProtect uncovers database weaknesses. This includes configuration mistakes, identification and access control issues, missing patches, or any toxic combination of settings that could lead to escalation of privileges attacks, data leakage, denial-of-service (DoS), or unauthorized modification of data held within data stores – both relational databases and big data stores.
