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.
AzhagarasanAnnadorai - PeerSpot reviewer
Automating compliance processes with effective data classification
One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like BigID's in-depth discovery and scanning capabilities, especially for unstructured data. This feature is a standout compared to competitors. The tool's data classification capabilities are impressive. It offers custom classifiers and a blend of regular exploration and artificial intelligence, making it a next-generation solution. This enhances data security, and its security posture management is straightforward and user-friendly."
"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's scanning feature is its most valuable component."
"BigID has one of the best technical support teams."
"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."
"One of the most valuable things in a data-focused world is a tool, a technology that's data-centric, not trying to master data management or whatever else. It's a source of truth for what data an organization holds, giving it the ability to catalog, categorize, and understand its data."
"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 is more advanced than Microsoft Purview when it comes to machine learning and AI development tools."
"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."
"Technical support for Securiti is good."
"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."
"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."
"Data discovery is a fantastic product."
"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."
"Overall, I would rate Securiti a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management."
"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."
"Improvement could be made in data consent management and data privacy impact assessment."
"There are some shortcomings when it comes to Calvirus authentication, which is not yet supported by BigID."
"One concern I have with BigID is regarding certain scans, like the multi-scan. The issue is that we can stop and retrieve these scans, but once they start, they go through an enumeration process."
"More classifications about different states are needed"
"The tool currently lacks security features."
"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."
"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."
"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."
"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."
"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product is expensive, but so are all competitor tools"
"I think that BigID's pricing is very reasonable."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
