- 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.
- Some of the reporting interfaces are difficult to navigate and appear somewhat dated.
- This software does require a lot of servers to be built for various purposes.
- Varonis is on the pricey side and now requires subscription based licensing. This can present problems is your company tries to use very little OpX spending vs CapX.

- It requires a noticeable amount of processing power to run the system smoothly.
- You're gonna need full-time staff members just for the maintenance.

Data Classification is important, so select the best tool.
- This tool allows us to protect sensitive data.
- It also improves our ability to maintain compliance with many different requirements.
- The tool also permits auditing capabilities that we did not have prior to its implementation.
- The tools also proactively alerts us to potential ransomware related events.
- The tool is vast and it takes a significant amount of time to tune it for your evironment.
- The report formatting is rudimentary and takes a while to get use to for staff.
- The integration to our SIEM could be better.

A must-have file/folder auditing platform
- Native integration to Netapp storage (and to others, but we use a Netapp).
- Files/folders access logs (read/write/move/modify, etc.).
- Due to the large amount of logs it keeps, it can be really slow to search.
- It's console could be more user-friendly and intuitive. Maybe web-based. Why not?

Varonis Data Security Platform Monitors and Protects Your Data
- Monitors and reports file and folder access and usage.
- Provides for assigned folder owners who can receive reports and manage access themselves.
- The reports can take some time to get used to creating and running. It can take some trial and error to determine the correct rule sets to get the information you need. The information is there. It may just take some time to set it up correctly. Once you find the right settings, you can save it for use later.
- It does have a lot of different tie-in to other products, which can take some time to set up correctly. It would be good if that could be simplified.
- Searching for account permissions is much easier and granular with Varonis over normal AD users and computers
- Having alerting when group policies are changed has been a big security group win
- Identifying sensitive data such as PII and SOX data has also been a major win for our Organization
- Implementation could have been a little smoother with more help from the Varonis sales team, but we managed
- Tying it into some 3rd party systems could be more intuitive
- Navigating the built in rules and patterns was a little clunky, but we worked through them

Varonis is a great tool to use for data security
- Varonis accurately detects critical data on our file servers and classify them based on the type of data.

- Alerting and reports gave us information that we did not have before.
- The web interface is somewhat limited in terms of functionality
- More licenses are required for additional features. This increases the cost to implement.
- Customized reporting is lacking.
