Cryptography and IM&G Engineer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Useful for monitoring database activities but improvement is needed in distributor networks

I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption. It functions as a proxy for database access. However, this could be an area for improvement. Currently, it doesn't use agents to integrate with databases; instead, all database instances must connect through DataSunrise Database Security as a proxy. While this setup is mostly done on our Windows server, using an agent approach might sometimes be more convenient for companies compared to a proxy approach.

Has improved database monitoring and enabled proactive threat detection across multiple clients

We have created customized alerts to help prevent unauthorized access, specifically for one of the banks, collaborating with the team to set it up on the core banking database. Organizations considering Oracle Audit Vault should recognize that its integration to Oracle database is seamless, allowing for detailed reporting, alerts, and high security. We have worked with customizable alerts regarding Oracle Audit Vault. We have created one alert based on the categories available in Oracle Audit Vault. Oracle Audit Vault uses an agent that is pushed from the appliance, which I downloaded the JAR file from. We are now considering creating a replication and patching process with planned downtime, but we have not yet experienced scaling out or patching. I would rate this review with an overall rating of nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have a law in Turkey similar to the GDPR in the European Union. It's almost like a replica. Complying with this law is crucial, and the service plays a significant role. Many customer inquiries revolve around not retaining their data. The service addresses this by providing functionality for masking data within the databases. So, if a user requests data deletion, we can remove any information we have on them within the database, ensuring compliance with the law."

"The most valuable feature of DataSunrise Database Security is Dynamic Masking. You don't need to build copies of the database and is highly customizable. It is a very good unique feature. It also has built-in algorithms, or machine learning, which is quite helpful, because it understands the user's behaviors and patterns to apply certain policies."

"Oracle Audit Vault's best feature, if configured well and used effectively, includes the blocking and Database Firewall part that makes an impact because it allows you to filter SQLs on the fly and have more control over database access."

"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."

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

"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 most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement in their distributor network, especially in Turkey. This is why I was exploring alternatives to DataSunrise Database Security. However, the product itself is quite good. One suggestion for enhancement could be adding an encryption module on top of the masking features, perhaps a more permanent form of preservative encryption."

"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."

"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."

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

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

"Oracle Audit Vault is very stable, with the exception of some certificate issues that disrupted the environment for up to a month."

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

"The support could improve."

"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."

More Oracle Audit Vault cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."

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

"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."
