Likelihood to Recommend We are happy with the management of the Id, accounts where the user can request any access easily. Also the many connector which Sailpoint is offering in order to onboard lots of applications is quite helpful. The access review module has also have been improve so that large campaigns can we work out easily. Where we see some improvement is on the UI as here it is not so intuitive for the end user, so that we need to make lots of communications and training so that the user is able to understand how to use it. For the administration and creation of roles it also would be great to have some improvements here to make it more easily its management.

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.

Security to customise, share and delegate authority across the group Single version of the truth across our technology platform Read full review 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. Read full review Cons The user interface is not very intuitive. It is hard for the occasional user to navigate through the request process. There are no instructions on the screen to help the user to know what to do. It is left up to the user to figure out what to click on and how to navigate through the process.

Read full review Support Rating Support for Customizations is very limited.
Read full review 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.

Read full review Alternatives Considered The on-prem SailPoint IdentityIQ platform provides the necessary customization that is required in our dynamic environment. Although we may look at a cloud-based Identity Management service again in the future, (there are many advantages), our identity management, authentication, and application assignment processes cannot be quickly consolidated to a single cloud-based service at this time.
Read full review 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.

With a call center population that churns many people per week, this brings many dollars of efficiency to the operations teams. Flexibility on terminations to manage accounts and access for target applications based on regulatory or business rules to ensure compliance and avoid fines for non-compliance. Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
