Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is extremely stable, and can expand as per our needs due to its stability.""The most valuable features of this solution are the security aspects.""The biggest thing, for us lately, has been their cloud tools. They're like Intercept X from Sophos, where they'll test for ransomware. Fortinet has the same sort of set up with their cloud devices. So your firewall picks up something suspicious, it sends it up to the cloud for analysis. We also have their in-house antivirus. Having different antivirus checkpoints throughout the network is a good thing as well.""The dashboard is very simple. It has an easy to use interface.""The solution is very good at preventing intrusions. You can definitely rely on this solution to cover your security.""We use it to protect files and to prevent users from browsing them while they are being used."

"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.""Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall.""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.""This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data.""The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface.""All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable.""It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery.""The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."

Cons
"I would like better APIs and integration with other products, like Python and SQL.""They need to improve the web filter to make it more user-friendly.""The pricing of this solution is a little bit on the high side and can be improved.""We had some issues trying to fix some critical bugs, such as the SSL encryption.""Some use case analyses could be improved.""I'm an old-school guy. I really don't like web GUI interfaces. They're always slow and laggy and their design is restricted, whereas a binary deployment for an admin tool is always faster, easier, more flexible. I would like that kind of functionality from Fortinet."

More Fortinet FortiDB [EOL] Cons →

"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database.""The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time.""One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted.""The support could improve.""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.""This solution doesn't audit the network.""Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges""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."
