"Great Tool for Access Control"
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

Varonis DataPrivilege is a really basic tool for requesting and assigning access to folders and directories for individuals or groups. The simplicity is actually one of its strengths, as it makes it very straight forward to understand and use -no unnecessary or complicated bells and whistles to sift through, just a handful of fields and branches to select from, and a request is made. I love how an automated workflow will send the request to the appropriate manager for approval, so this tool is really a one-stop shop for access requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

Though the simplicity of the tool is one of its strengths, that's also a weakness, as the tool really doesn't do much other than access requests. It can feel overbearing to have a separate tool for everything you do at your company, and this is one that is very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The taming of (un)structured data"
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

Varonis' solution suite of data classification and alerting tools are game-changing for managing both unstructured and structured data alike. It's the best tool I have ever used to shine a light on the unknown unknowns in our file shares. Not only was it able to locate and automatically detect PII we didn't know we had, it continued to identify new infractions on data management policy in near real-time. It's 1000% easier to fix process problems the day after data is created when you know who put it there, who is accessing it, and how often it happens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

Initial setup is a challenge, but the Varonis professional services team did a great job helping us identify our day 1 use cases as well as coming back to help assess the results after the product had been running for a month. Once we had a few weeks of data, we were able to start making real improvements to our data flows and processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"DataPrivilege is a wonderful solutions"
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

DataPrivilege is a wonderful solutions, on my past work experience we would not only implement this solution on client premise but also use it internally on our own premise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

At the beginning we would need some initial training to be familiar with the solutions and be able to implement it properly. However the training instance connection is quite slow and its a hassle to learn under such situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great visibility"
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

DatAlert integrates into the parts of your network that make sense. Having alerting that monitors your data and alerts you when it's moved to an insecure place is extremely valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

There aren't any disadvantages to using the product. Early on, the product requires fine-tuning, but that is a small price to pay for the reward in functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
