Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ability to track activity including the SQL statements is definitely valuable. I really like how the database is laid out. It's straightforward. I can query the back-end tables. I've made a few of my own email alerts based on the data and the tables. It's accessible."
"The tool can track logins and login failures. I made my own alert so that if there is a certain number of login failures for a server, it emails me. That is really useful. If I want logins to automatically lock out after a certain number of failed attempts, I can know when that happens."
"A solution which does what other name brand products do for a lower cost."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation."
"The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are the user-friendliness, easy-to-use interface compared to competitors, database operations do not need a specialist, and simple to manage for our security team. Additionally, the solution can show all the databases and the level of sensitivity. It can show what is more sensitive or less sensitive."
"We use it for database security, vulnerability analysis, discovery, and handling requests from applications and users."
"The integration is great."
"The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights."
"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."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"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."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"There is an agent that collects the data on SQL Server. Sometimes it will stop collecting. I'm not exactly sure what's happening but I have to go in and manually restart the agent. It would be nice if the central collection server could send a request to the agent to restart."
"The set up is kind of clunky, in my opinion. It's not really intuitive. If they had either a smoother install or better instructions, that would be nice."
"What would really a good thing is if you could refer to an external list or table for filtering on, say, certain applications, IP addresses, or host names; or perhaps even combinations of host name and application name."
"I submitted a ticket (last year) about archiving/grooming of old records because the GUI functionality was not working. Per their recommendation, I ended up using a command line to do it."
"Its filtration and navigation are not the best."
"Reporting could be improved."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve."
"The solution is expensive."
"It would be better to update the solution by using a GUI that guides me, rather than through a CLI."
"It is very expensive. Its price can be better."
"Once we read the activity logs on the platform, we cannot open them anywhere else as they are stored in a proprietary format."
"The updates could be better."
"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."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"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."
"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."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
