Andrey,

   Really depends on the level of detail you need. If you only need to know which _oracle_user_ has connect and which tables s/he has modified, AUDIT is enough. If you want to know more (eg who was connected at the OS level, from which client or terminal, which row was deleted or what was modified) triggers are the only way to go IMHO.
