A valuable independent view of elevated access but the solution could be more organized
Our primary use case for this solution is for controls, which we deploy on-premises The independent view of elevated access and elevated instructions sent to our SQL are very valuable because they act as a secondary pair of eyes. The solution could be improved by using the proper filtration,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Oracle Database Vault has been valuable for database security in maritime companies and ports."
"It encrypts data traveling across the network."
"I haven’t seen any other database perform as well as Oracle."
"The product is fairly easy to implement."
"The product is easy to use and provides good performance."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Its filtration and navigation are not the best."
"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."
"Oracle Database Vault is not easy to set up, and if I lose the key, it can lead to significant issues."
"The product's cost could be better."
"The solution is excessively expensive. There is a lot of room for improvement, considering the pricing model of the solution."
"Oracle's technical support could be improved."
"The solution is relatively expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel the product's pricing is a good value."
"It's a good price value... The other tools weren't cheaper."
"The product is cheaper than other products I checked but it is still a good idea to check again and compare."
"The pricing is pretty good."
"The product is more costly than its competitors."
"I rate the product's pricing a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
