I just started to use the AVDF 12.2 appliance about 3 months ago. I installed it on a Linux VM. I am only using the AV portion - not the Firewall.
The security implementation on the appliance has been a challenge to get used to - but it is secure! The appliance has been stable and relatively easy to install. You will then need to deploy AVDF agents to each of your servers that you want to monitor.
I am being challenged on how to administer the ASM disks that are setup in the appliance. This is my first exposure to ASM as a DBA. Once I am up-to-speed with that part, I will need to investigate the built-in reports and what it can do for me. The default division of the disk isn't big enough to handle the event data that is being collected.
Overall, I like it but as a lone DBA in my shop - it is one more piece of Oracle technology to manage.

Subject: Opinions on Oracle Audit Vault and Firewall
Is anyone on this list willing to share their experience and general opinion of Audit Vault and Oracle Database Firewall?
I'm looking for comments related to stability, easy of use, general value.
We have security folks recommending that we license the products but I'm not sure anyone really knows what advantages they offer. I'm also worried that the promotional material doesn't exactly reflect real-world usage. I personally haven't really heard of anyone using either product.
Thanks for any input.
Chris
