Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."We use this tool to quickly assign privileges to different users as soon as they come in."
"Logging and monitoring are most valuable. It is for the mainframe environment, and it is at the forefront for security and resilience."
"The NOACCESS by default is another very good feature. Also, access rules are straightforward, and easy to understand."
"I love their support. The support is great. They are number one."
"Excellent real-time reporting that saves time and resources."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"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."
"Technical support is perfect."
"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."
"I would like my team and me to be able to use simple browsers, like Chrome, to be able to access mainframe data and provision users using the browser."
"Reporting can sometimes include false positives."
"It needs longer rules. The max rule is 32K."
"They can work on its ability to work in a distributed environment. It's a mainframe product. As many companies move to the cloud, depending on what cloud models they choose, such as a public, hybrid, or private cloud, it should be deployable. I am not sure if it can be deployed on those platforms. It has been there since the '50s or '60s, and it's still scalable. It has survived all these years, and it's scalable to many platforms, but I don't know about the cloud."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"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."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"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."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"The support could improve."
