Rule-based monitoring has strengthened real-time protection against SQL injection attacks
I believe the product features are good so far, but I experienced some issues. When I upgraded to a newer version, there were some bugs found that were not resolved. Therefore, I would assume that DataSunrise can improve their quality checks before releasing a new version. I would like to see improvements mainly in support and documentation, as whenever I contact DataSunrise support, the support team is not fully aware of the new features or version revision histories. The documentation has been vague and not well done. I think DataSunrise as a product is still in the initial stage where there are many improvements that can be made regarding documentation and support.

Auditing has become tamper-proof and now secures sensitive financial transaction data
The most useful feature of Oracle Audit Vault is its ability to ensure that audits are immutable, as mandated by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs guidelines whenever an audit is happening for a single transaction, mainly for financial transactions. It separates the Oracle databases' information that is being audited and stores it in a separate location where no user has access, including the Oracle Audit Vault admin, ensuring that no one can change or modify that particular record, providing utmost security. User activity reports in Oracle Audit Vault are fantastic, informative, and specific. When a user makes any changes, both the pre-change values and the post-change values are captured and presented to the auditors perfectly, showing what the particular column had before and after the update, along with the user who made the change and the time of the change. Regarding automated policy enforcement in Oracle Audit Vault, I have experience with it, and I find it very important. Oracle Audit Vault fully supports compliance management for companies, with no doubt about its capability to maintain compliance from both audit and security threat perspectives. The correlation engine in Oracle Audit Vault is effective. It includes a data firewall as part of its features, so the threat mechanism allows users to block, snip, and capture all threats happening in the network.

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."
"DataSunrise Database Security has positively impacted my organization, as it acts as a proxy."
"My advice to others considering DataSunrise Database Security is that it is a good and unified tool."
"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."
"Technical support is perfect."
"Audit Vault is a good Oracle tool to collect all database audit information in a single database repository for managing database security."
"By integrating two major functions (auditing and database firewall) into a single product, it became easier to use and the scope is really wide."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to audit database use."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable and reliable."
 

Cons

"The solution has many features but I would like to see vulnerability assessments in the next release."
"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."
"DataSunrise Database Security comes out with new builds every time we have a small issue. This has made the solution not always stable."
"I would like to see improvements mainly in support and documentation, as whenever I contact DataSunrise support, the support team is not fully aware of the new features or version revision histories."
"Oracle Audit Vault is very stable, with the exception of some certificate issues that disrupted the environment for up to a month."
"The technical support at Oracle is weak, but the documentation provided is detailed and good."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"Sometimes, there is an issue with the system."
"The underlying mechanism for collecting SQL statements (REDO collector) is still based on Oracle Streams technology."
"The price factor makes it out of reach for small players in the IT industry."
"All departments of this product need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"This solution is definitely not expensive, and it is a small fraction of the overall database licensing costs."
"Oracle can be an expensive solution depending on the options and user needs."
