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
  • 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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

RecordPoint Screenshots

Screenshot of the RecordPoint Data Trust platform's connector framework, which allows for connection of business systems for a comprehensive data inventory. All data passes from these connected sources through its intelligence engine, which detects signals like data size, type, location, metadata, sensitivity; and then it’s de-duped, inventoried and classified.Screenshot of RecordPoint's Intelligence Signaling feature, used to automatically detect private information at risk across data inventory. Managed content sources are crawled for privacy signals both Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) data, which is then applied to the metadata to ensure consistency regardless of the system origin.Screenshot of the Classification Intelligence feature that automatically categorizes data based on an organization’s policies faster than any human. Classification Intelligence features allow users to build Machine Learning (ML) models based on the organization's taxonomy to ensure accurate data categorization.Screenshot of the data minimization features that allow for defensible disposal including retention schedules and disposal approval workflows. As records become eligible for disposal, the RecordPoint platform will triage these records into a defined disposal management process that ensures the right people have the visibility and control to review and approve destruction before it occurs.
