"Amazing Visibility"
5/5
What do you like best about Varonis Data Security Platform?

Varonis allows our team to see the bits and pieces of our file system that goes unseen by the normal admin. It allows us to gain insight to open access and permissions that should not be there so that we can fix them. Our environment is overall safer because of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varonis Data Security Platform?

There isn't much that Varonis does that I don't like. The only thing that I could think to bring up in regards to dislikes would be in the area of reporting. While reporting with Varonis is extremely versatile as it is out of the box, there is no way to create a wholly custom report with access to all report fields. If this would be implemented, this product would be near perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of alerts and quite a bit of "white noise" to filter through until you get everything dialed-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
