Oracle Audit Vault and Database Firewall vs. Trustwave DbProtect

Any serious small or large business that is utilizing a mainstream database, purchase ordering system, and web platform should look into this software - especially if you're using softwares compliant with this protector. It really does do an outstanding job of addressing all weaknesses through auditing and vaulting the potential virus concerns.

Monitoring database activity internally was a huge concern for my company, which is why we implemented DbProtect. I would recommend this to anyone that has lower end traffic on their SQL servers. My company appeared to be too big for DbProtect and was not a good fit, but it would be useful for a smaller company.

The price is the complete opposite and Imperva provided things that DbProtect did not. I would suggest a cleaner interface and more reporting in DbProtect. These things may exist now, but did not when I was a customer of DbProtect. DbProtect when configured correctly will do what you want it to and help secure databases.
