DATASKOPE vs DB Audit and Security 360

DATASKOPE monitors, analyzes, alerts on, and reports database activity in real time. It records who accessed sensitive data, where access came from, which transactions occurred, and when. Audit visibility can be limited by user, database, table, and command. Recorded operations include SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and EXEC, showing what changed and by whom. DATASKOPE tracks successful and unsuccessful logins plus administrative actions such as creating or deleting users. Predefined alarm rules classify database events and notify responsible people. Its NoSQL search engine distributes searches across nodes and is described as scaling horizontally and vertically. Audit data can be automatically backed up and archived, with geographic replication and local redundancy. The product supports multiple database engines and is presented for activity monitoring, access governance, audit reporting, and threat detection. Pricing is not published; Plainex offers contact and demo requests.

DB Audit and Security 360 tracks database security, access, usage, and data creation, changes, and deletion. It supports Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, and IBM DB2, with built-in audit methods and configurable monitoring of operations and data changes. Controls for multiple database systems can be managed centrally. The product can send real-time email alerts about sensitive-data changes, and audit records can be held in local or central repositories for email or SNMP alert analysis. Database connections use native drivers, ODBC, JDBC, or OLEDB/ADO. Its web console exports reports to XML, CSV, and TXT and can be customized or integrated with third-party applications. The vendor describes the product as supporting Sarbanes-Oxley and PCI compliance, and says auditing can run without changes to existing applications. It is an on-premises product with a 30-day trial and paid pricing from $598.80. The listed last version is 5.0.1.20, released March 5, 2018.
