Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Imperva, Oracle and others in Database Security."The centralization of the data is probably the most useful feature because we span multiple database technologies. We also find the GBDI portion of it very helpful."
"It allows us to run models against it and do reports against it without understanding the different database technologies."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"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."
"The solution is very stable and reliable."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"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."
"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."
"It can be simplified as it is a little complicated."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly. Right now, it's a little bit of a complicated product to use. Another problem that we have is with encrypted traffic on Oracle. This is because it requires a database outage. That's a pain in the butt because you're monitoring critical systems, and they don't like outages."
"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."
"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."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"The support could improve."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"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."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
