Featured Reviews

Ankita Sabale - PeerSpot reviewer
Predefined classifiers in place support sensitive data scanning effectively
BigID does not currently support Kerberos authentication for DataStax. On the user interface, analyzing true and false positives can be challenging, as I can only view 2,000 characters at a time. When tagging scan results, all objects get tagged without the option to untag specific ones. This requires reverting changes through MongoDB, which can result in data loss.
SB
Efficient file restoration with rapid incremental backups and potential for better reporting
I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data. Also, the reports we can generate have limited features. There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The data classification offered by the tool can help companies improve their security strategy"
"BigID integrates well with our other products."
"BigID has one of the best technical support teams."
"The most valuable feature of BigID is its large number of classifiers, which allow us to scan for specific data such as SSN numbers."
"BigID offers different scan types for data discovery. The most powerful one is the full scan, which scans both data and metadata. However, the metadata scan is faster in comparison."
"The features that I have found most valuable are the user experience, the credentialing, and that BigID is user friendly. Additionally, you can deploy to several other Microsoft platforms and you can use it for other things, like a bigger element or a report."
"BigID is more advanced than Microsoft Purview when it comes to machine learning and AI development tools."
"It provides a unified view across different databases and supports a wide range of data source types, including cloud and on-premises systems."
"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."
"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."
"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."
 

Cons

"I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management."
"There are some shortcomings when it comes to Calvirus authentication, which is not yet supported by BigID."
"BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee."
"The tool currently lacks security features."
"I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management. The privacy tools have not been widely used, and they have not invested much in privacy code privacy tools."
"Some users find catalog navigation challenging due to the lack of a search-by-column feature, which makes it difficult to locate specific data quickly."
"There are some shortcomings when it comes to Calvirus authentication, which is not yet supported by BigID."
"More classifications about different states are needed"
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."
"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not licensed per user but rather based on capacity. For instance, organizations with large amounts of data, such as 50 GB or more, are the ones that typically qualify for BigID."
"The product is expensive, but so are all competitor tools"
"The pricing depends. If you have thousands of data sources to connect and manage, and you struggled with an MDM package in the past, you'll find BigID valuable and even cheap. But if you're a small business, it's probably not the right tool for you."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think that BigID's pricing is very reasonable."
