Overall Satisfaction with Varonis Data Security Platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Varonis is being used by all of the organization to search for financial data to classify them and encrypt all that data.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Varonis accurately detects critical data on our file servers and classify them based on the type of data.
Encrypt all data as configured to secure the data from unauthorized access.
Alerting and reports gave us information that we did not have before.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

It shielded us and reduced the risk of data leaks that we can potentially be sued for.
It helped us with PCI compliance since we introduced new systems that process financial data and we increased our sales with all the systems integrations.

Usability

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

Support Rating

I dealt with support few times and each case was handled properly and escalated to the right person in a timely fashion.

Alternatives Considered

AlienVault USM and Asset Panda

We used it as it was the right business requirement for us and the implementation was simple and quick.

Other Software Used

Netwrix Auditor

Likelihood to Recommend

Is well suited for companies that need to detect financial or personal information that requires it to be scanned, reported and encrypted. It's not suitable for nonsecurity requirements.
