Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
Varonis does a much better job presenting the entire picture. It can show an account being used, then elevated and then what actions were done with that account on a file system. ADaudit didn't have all of this information available with the modules we tested.
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
When it comes to data security we all want something stable with good protocol practices. Varonis is good at data analyzing, detecting threats, taking actions and compliance. Varonis needs lots of resources to run and it is somewhat expensive. But still I believe that Varonis …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
The tools does not allow easy search capabilities and auditing is a little more difficult. The tool is less expensive, but the expertise surrounding the installation and management of the tool is lacking. The reporting feature is less robust and the ability to fully …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
Actually, we didn't expend much time evaluating other file auditing platforms. We chose Varonis just after a serious incident and we had already heard about Varonis at a Netapp event. So it was an easy choice. We called Varonis and asked them for a PoC, that's it. The PoC …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
We have not evaluated against other competitors. We have had this product several years, and they were one of the first of their type of product. While I am aware some products do much of the same functions, there would be a lot of time and effort involved in comparing and …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
We briefly evaluated Stealthbits, but found it was not a major Enterprise grade product
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
We used it as it was the right business requirement for us and the implementation was simple and quick.
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
At the time of our purchase Stealth Bits did not have the same functionality that we initially wanted, so Varonis was the better option and across the available modules again Varonis could cover more future use areas. As of now Stealth Bits has really caught up and as they do …

Varonis
The most highlighted feature of Varonis Data Security Platform is the data analyzing mechanism. It analyzes your data all the time with some special algorithms to detect any unusual activities so that it can identify any unusual behavior or users and
take necessary action to save your sensitive data. They also offer a complete dashboard solution for their customers to control across different data stores, see their current state, and any security breaches to be addressed manually.

Pros
Varonis
  • Varonis logging is very robust and captures all audit events being sent from the file servers.
  • The ability to report and alert on Active Directory account events works very well with file activity monitoring. It can show the complete picture of what an account did while being used.
  • Have a customizable dashboard is great for being able to show upper management information that only pertains to them.

I wish the cost was a little bit lower and increase functionality and features would give it 10/10.

Support Rating
Varonis
Support has always been very responsive and addressed any issues we may have had in the past. Some local engineers are willing to come onsite or work over a web session to discuss creating a new rule set or look at some issues. Getting issues address has never been a problem. There was one feature we had trouble getting to function correctly, but support and local engineers were willing to work with us as much as needed to get it working correctly for our organization.

  • The tool does take a dedicated resource for it to be effective.
  • Varonis has improved the speed with which we can fulfill audit requests, leaving us more time for other tasks.
