The solution's activity monitoring is valuable, but it should have more integrations and updates overall
Our primary use case for this solution is activity, authentication, and scans for audit purposes and priority assessments The feature I have found most valuable is activity monitoring. McAfee has not had many legacy features. They are not updating their value adjustment.In the next feature, I'd…
Yves Moro - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides good security, and is helpful for auditing the data and seeing what's happening
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. I use it only for security purposes, and they can continue to improve it with more security tools and features. It should be powerful like FortiGate. When it becomes powerful like FortiGate, people will only go for this solution for their infrastructure. Their support could be faster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support is very good. They are very quick to respond when we have issues."
"The feature I have found most valuable is activity monitoring."
"The technical support is good; they are knowledgeable."

"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"Technical support is perfect."
"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."
"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 reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
 

Cons

"The UI needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"In the next feature, I'd like to see more integrations and updates overall, specifically bottom tech."
"The support could improve."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"An easy, friendly user interface would be nice to have, since this would enable administrators to identify important events with a prompt response."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"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."
"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."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not expensive compared to other products that are available."
"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."
