DB Audit review
A broad database monitoring platform for security, compliance, and operations teams.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
DB Audit is a database auditing and security monitoring platform for organizations that need continuous visibility into database activity. It captures and analyzes SQL queries in real time, normalizes and classifies query activity, tracks users and sessions, detects behavioral anomalies, and supports sensitive data discovery. Security and compliance teams can use it to monitor regulated or sensitive data across cloud, self-hosted, and hybrid deployments.
Its strongest fit is an integration-heavy security environment. DB Audit forwards events to Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Elastic Security, CrowdStrike Falcon, Palo Alto Cortex XSIAM, Google Chronicle, AWS Security Hub, Datadog Cloud SIEM, Sumo Logic, ServiceNow SecOps, SentinelOne, Trellix XDR, LogRhythm, and Slack. The platform also supports real-time alerts and escalation, compliance policies and reporting, change-request tracking, file activity monitoring, and drift detection. Database coverage includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2, MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Couchbase, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure SQL, CockroachDB, TimescaleDB, ClickHouse, and Neo4j.
Pricing is contact-sales, with a 14-day trial and no free plan. That model suits organizations evaluating database monitoring as part of a wider security or compliance program, especially where SIEM forwarding, audit retention, and deployment flexibility matter. DB Audit is less suitable for teams seeking a lightweight, self-serve database activity tool or a narrowly focused query monitor. Its broader feature set is most relevant when real-time auditing, anomaly detection, compliance reporting, and change tracking need to work across multiple database types and security systems.
DB Audit pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Real-time SQL auditing with query capture and session tracking
- Behavioral anomaly detection plus sensitive data discovery
- SIEM integrations and support for relational, NoSQL, and cloud databases
- Where it doesn't
- Pricing is quote-based rather than self-serve
- No free plan is available
- Enterprise-focused features may exceed narrower monitoring needs
