Featured Reviews

Christian Dagal - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of sensitive information detection and provides flexibility to customize and redefine policies and user analytics that detect data channels
In my opinion, there's a need for an extensive skill set or knowledge of creating policies. There's room for improvement to make it more user-friendly in creating custom rules and policies. In future releases, I would like to see a quick glance at detected data without downloading the actual file for both Windows and MacOS.
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.

"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."

"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."
