We also purchased ASO about a year ago. It works really well and it is seamless to the users. We have the data and network encryption turn on. The only issue we had with the network encryption was that we found there was a user using an old VB application that was running off and Oracle 9i client which was too old for network encryption. Just had to upgrade that machine and had no more issues. We also have Data Guard too. It is recommended to have the DG site be running off and auto open wallet.

We are on Oracle 11.2.0.3 with, data guard, non-data guard & PeopleSoft applications running on Red Hat Linux. We would be interested in hearing about your experience (good or bad) and any recommendations you may have with implementing ASO. Thanks. Mary Sciuto Database Admin.
