Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration with CounterBreach is great.""Flexible reporting allows for customization that keeps the admins from having to interact with system automation.""Database reporting features are valuable to us.""The product’s most valuable feature is real-time highlights.""The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management.""The most valuable features of Imperva SecureSphere Database Security are vulnerability assessment, enrichment security policy, and security""I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions.""Imperva's most valuable features are ease of use and log correlation. I also like the ability to trace activity from the host machine to the server access, the user details, and the exact query that they executed. If a database administrator or application process executes a query on the database, people know exactly what was executed, including all the variables."

"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall.""It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database.""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.""All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable.""A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring.""Technical support is perfect.""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
"Improvements can be made in data enrichment and enhancing the GUI (Graphical User Interface) for a better user experience.""Performance can be slow under heavy loads, but this should be adjusted by scaling.""Technical support for this solution needs improvement.""There is sometimes lost communication and it can take a lot of troubleshooting to solve.""Reporting could be improved.""Integration with other databases or third-party products would be useful.""The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved.""They can maybe look at its pricing model. Its pricing could be cheaper for the African countries or developing economies."

More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security Cons →

"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time.""The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems.""The support could improve.""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.""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.""They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms.""This solution doesn't audit the network.""Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of support for this solution is very expensive."
  • "Licensing fees are on a yearly basis, and it is a good value for the money."
  • "There is an annual licensing fee for upgrading the device."
  • "Pricing is low and scalable to add features and volume."
  • "The pricing over-all depends on the entry level. For example, if support and maintenance are about $20,000 - $25,000, the initial cost can be five times more. It is less expensive for the company to maintain the client than to make the deployment."
  • "We have all the licenses, which we pay for annually. The price is a little high, but the product is good."
  • "They have introduced new price models, which makes the product more affordable now."
  • "The price is very high but compared to the price of the overall solution, then I think it's a good deal because the solution itself is great."
  • More Imperva SecureSphere Database Security Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing cost is about $360,000, annually."
  • "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."
  • "For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."
