Featured Reviews

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.

Vinoth Raj Prabhakaran - PeerSpot reviewer
Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"It has reduced the stress of collecting database event logs in silos from each database."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Audit Vault is that it is agentless and enhanced user interface."
"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."
More Oracle Audit Vault pros
"The product is stable."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
 

Cons

"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"The performance of Oracle Audit Vault could be improved, especially in handling large data collections and generating reports on time."
"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."
"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 support could improve."
"One feature that is missing is the ability to have a secret server that is always encrypted."
"Stability could be improved, we have had some challenges"
More Oracle Audit Vault cons
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is definitely not expensive, and it is a small fraction of the overall database licensing costs."
"For the bank, the license was $48,000 last time. That was the licensing for the bank on just one license."
"Oracle can be an expensive solution depending on the options and user needs."
"The licensing cost is about $360,000, annually."
"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
