Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."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 initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"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."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"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."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"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."
"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."
"Its filtration and navigation are not the best."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"The support could improve."
"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."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
