DB Engineer at Datacell

Has improved database monitoring and enabled proactive threat detection across multiple clients

We have created customized alerts to help prevent unauthorized access, specifically for one of the banks, collaborating with the team to set it up on the core banking database. Organizations considering Oracle Audit Vault should recognize that its integration to Oracle database is seamless, allowing for detailed reporting, alerts, and high security. We have worked with customizable alerts regarding Oracle Audit Vault. We have created one alert based on the categories available in Oracle Audit Vault. Oracle Audit Vault uses an agent that is pushed from the appliance, which I downloaded the JAR file from. We are now considering creating a replication and patching process with planned downtime, but we have not yet experienced scaling out or patching. I would rate this review with an overall rating of nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."

"It has provided us with a unique opportunity to automate risk discovery."

"The solution is very stable and reliable."

"This solution acts as a complete data warehouse for our audit data."

"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."

"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."

"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."

"Technical support is perfect."

More Oracle Audit Vault pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

Cons

"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."

"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."

"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."

"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."

"Oracle Audit Vault is very stable, with the exception of some certificate issues that disrupted the environment for up to a month."

"Some of our customers were asking about latency when the application wants to get to the database."

"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."

"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."

More Oracle Audit Vault cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The licensing cost is about $360,000, annually."

"For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."
