Why each option
Unified Auditing in Oracle 12c and later provides performance improvements, a tamper-resistant read-only audit trail, and built-in automatic auditing of RMAN activity without additional configuration.
Unified auditing does not necessarily decrease storage usage; it consolidates audit records from multiple sources but the overall volume of data stored can be equal to or greater than traditional auditing depending on the policies configured.
Unified Auditing improves overall auditing performance by writing audit records asynchronously to the AUDSYS schema in the SYSAUX tablespace, reducing the overhead of synchronous writes compared to traditional auditing methods.
Unified auditing does not guarantee zero-loss of audit records by default; in the default queued-write mode, audit records buffered in memory can be lost if the instance crashes before they are flushed to disk.
The unified audit trail stored in AUDSYS.AUD$UNIFIED is read-only to all users except the Oracle-managed AUDSYS schema, making it extremely difficult to modify or delete audit records and providing a more tamper-resistant audit trail than traditional methods.
Unified Auditing automatically captures RMAN backup and recovery events in the unified audit trail without requiring explicit policy configuration, closing a coverage gap that existed in traditional auditing.
