We had a security review with Oracle and they also recommended Audit Vault
and Firewall.  I did a demo and it seemed interesting but as a smaller shop
here I was worried about the amount of overhead management for it and if it
would prove worth while.  I also haven't heard of many people using it. I
asked the same question on here a few months ago and only got a few hits.
If you do go with it or do a full demo I would love to hear your recap.
