"Varonis: Visibility for data security"
5/5
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

The ability to report on where data is living, the status, the access (and what AI is trying to touch) - the ease of navigating the UI and the ability to test changes to see what would be impacted and how. It also provides the ability to schedule reports for various things and it has automated responses to help secure the environment and data without manually responding to things (also provides ease of use for setting up items in Purview since they are all about data security and constantly updating their side as laws get updated) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

It's not the easiest to set up - there are a lot of moving parts that need to be done correctly for the service account to walk correctly - but their customer support is absolutely fantastic as are their engineers - which makes the stress of dealing with that much easier.

"Accurate Sensitive Data Detection, but Pricing Can Strain Larger Budgets"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

Varonis has come a long way from 15 years ago when I was using it to detect credit numbers. It is easy to roll out and their detection mechanisms are very accurate. Varonis helps manage and monitor non-structured data to determine if documents contain sensitive data and need to be moved to provide better protection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

I feel Varonis is a bit expensive, and if you have a large footprint, it may put some added stress on your budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Varonis Data Security Platform: Deep Visibility with a Steep Price of Entry"
5/5
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

The most robust features are its highly detailed data discovery/classification and the visibility it provides into the exposed or wrongly permissioned data—teams get actionable insight into sensitive files, sharing patterns, and insider risk that would otherwise be unknown. Its analytics, automated alerting, and dashboards assist in prioritizing remediation and complying with regulations, thus security improvements become traceable. Users point out that its threat detection logic is of high quality and the feature that the on-prem and cloud data context can be unified is definitely a differentiation factor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

it is frequently mentioned in negative reviews that the cost of the product is matching major points (sometimes is described as being too high for smaller/mid-market buyers), as well as that the initial complexity of deployment, tuning alerts, and data navigation can make teams overwhelmed with the amount of data before they have fully optimized it. Users also reveal that they suffer from some performance issues (especially with large on-prem datasets), alert noise during tuning, limitations in reporting/customization, and slow ticket response or support turnaround in some cases.

"Robust and reliable platform for data security"
4.5/5

Varonis offers crystal-clear visibility into where sensitive data resides and who accesses it. Its ability to monitor and alert on anomalous behavior in real time provides a level of proactive security that other solutions fail to achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first, as it's a fairly comprehensive solution with many features. The interface, while robust, could be more intuitive for new users, and the price is fair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
