    DISCO
    It's user-friendly and very intuitive. It has many capabilities that are out of the box, and it does not need to do any workaround. Also, there are many ways to do the same thing which is great when we are in a rush and how a user learns. Attorneys are loving the Case Builder function. I am happy that we can streamline processes and get to do more of what we love to do versus being bogged down by tedious steps.

    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.

    • 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.

    I've been able to go from never using this type of software before, to confidently using it on an everyday basis, and the learning curve was not steep at all.

    Because the tool delivers on its promises and forces us to explore each functionality. Using the tool leads us to seek more knowledge and apply it to our environment, mitigating risks, reducing the attack surface, increasing the team's technical knowledge, and boosting team growth. It also demonstrates to senior management that the tool is extremely necessary for the environment.

    I've never had a problem with the support team getting back to me re my questions or assisting me in a project.

    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.

    I have used proprietary in-house software at a litigation management firm. The in-house software allowed for documents to be processed and coded in order for the end-user to run a report that met the end-users parameters. DISCO allows for documents to be ingested, and for those ingested documents to be divided into review stages. The reports that DISCO allows the end-user to run are far superior to end-user reports of other in-house systems

    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 became a production and it is running until this day.

    Return on Investment
    DISCO
    • DISCO has saved our clients tons of money in hosting fees, as well as hourly fees in time spent reviewing documents.
    • With DISCO's search capabilities, a review that could take weeks or months by many can be performed in days or weeks by fewer personnel.
    • With DISCO, actions that previously had to be contracted out to a vendor can now be handled in-house at a much cheaper cost.

    • We have identified data classifications issues that our organization was not aware of prior to the implementation.
    • 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.
