I am also installing/learning Audit Vault 12.2. It seems pretty cool, so far.
Does anyone have recommendations on training options for this product??

We currently use Audit Vault on a project very simple to manage. Not many
bugs on the current version. Recommendation use the product as intended for
example it likes iscsi for extra disk space do not try to use fiber attached
storage. The product is self healing and designed to be maintained by a non
dba. The purpose for this is to keep the audit data segregated from the
database and DBA’s.
Thank You

Had the "luxury" to implement Audit Vault few year ago only the customer to
scrap the project few months later (yes, they bought it the product and dump it
later)
Run Forest, run!!

I used the product two years ago, version 11 something as I remember.
It was not a good experience, lots of bugs, not a polished interface.
And when I tried to integrate it with solaris audit logs it simply won´t work.
I give it a 4/10, maybe the last version solved most of the bugs but I haven´t
tried it yet.

So I guess no one out there has any experience with this?

Does anybody have or have used Oracle's Audit Vault and Database Firewall? It
sounds intriguing in that in can protect our audit logs as well as offload
them. Supposedly there are built in reports to let you know of things happening
(haven't seen directly yet). We are a small private company with all
applications custom built.
My sales guy is trying to sell us on it and I have thought about it before. We
have a very small CPU footprint so I think the cost would be around $6k. Which
may be nothing to a lot of you but I still have to justify it.
Some of my questions.
Does it work as advertised?
Is it easy to setup an configure or is it a management nightmare?
Are there other factors to consider if using it.
Do you love it or is it worthless.
Thanks,
Jeff
