User-friendly experience and customization of workflow with certain scripting challenges
Netskope could benefit from enhancements in its scripting capabilities. While they offer numerous predefined templates, there are instances where customers may require customized templates to meet specific requirements. Creating these templates often involves scripting, which can include algorithms and logical expressions. Many end-users and customers may not possess the necessary knowledge to develop these scripts, making it challenging. Netskope could consider implementing a user-friendly interface with a 'pick and choose' option that allows users to select and configure components from existing templates, making the customization process more accessible.

Data governance has strengthened and automation now reduces risk and manual compliance work
Varonis Platform offers key features including data discovery, data classification, data analysis, governance, user and entity behavior analysis, also known as UEBA, which helps in ransomware detection, insider threat detection, and compliance reporting. It does a lot of automation from a remediation standpoint, as well as investigation and forensics. The number one feature that makes the biggest difference for my clients is visibility into unstructured data; that is the most difficult for organizations to achieve. They do not have a good understanding of where sensitive data resides, who has access to this data, whether this access is appropriate, and how data is being used. Varonis Platform provides visibility, governance, threat detection, and automated remediation around data. Varonis Platform is a great data discovery platform that provides visibility into sensitive data estimates and how it is being used. Clients have been able to reduce excessive permissions, strengthen their compliance posture, detect insider threats, and ransomware activity, which would otherwise be difficult and manual. Varonis Platform is deployed in my clients' organizations in a combination of all types. Many clients use Varonis Platform in a largely SaaS-based model since it is a data security platform consumed in this way, and many organizations still operate hybrid environments. As far as Varonis Platform is in a position to get the data source and identify systems, it can discover and classify more secure data. Deployment in most of our clients is cloud-based, connecting to Microsoft 365, AWS, or other SaaS applications such as Salesforce. In other environments, it is a hybrid deployment with SaaS and on-premises, including file servers, NAS devices, and AD servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides comprehensive reports, including predefined templates tailored for compliance requirements, making it easier to present detailed information to customers."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature, and they have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"Varonis Platform has definitely reduced the risk of data breaches at many client sites and has definitely lowered manual effort; manual effort has decreased by seventy percent due to automating data classification and permission reviews."
"This solution informs us about who's moving data, whether accidentally or on purpose."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"The solution's classification engine is highly configurable and efficient."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"The example I used with the hospital gives a very clear picture of the ROI."
"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."
 

Cons

"Netskope could consider implementing a user-friendly interface with a 'pick and choose' option that allows users to select and configure components from existing templates, making the customization process more accessible."
"The troubleshooting capabilities could be improved. It has so many interconnected components."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"One area for improvement is the calculation engine. When applying rules in Varonis, especially for large datasets (terabytes of data), the calculations can be slow and require time to process. Speeding up this process would be beneficial."
"Varonis requires more access permissions for its core functions compared to competitors, which can be a concern for companies about data safety."
"Be prepared that when you implement the product, you will have to tune it as you go."
"For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360."
"It is significantly complex."
"The remediation process can be improved. There will be no existing permission group for the McAfee channel domains. We can create a new permissions group for the required folder."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing largely depends on the specific customer."
"Licensing is on an annual basis. Maintenance and renewal fees are separate. Varonis Datalert is quite expensive."
"You could do a subscription, where you pay yearly, or you could purchase it outright. The licensing cost is based on the number of users on the system that you are monitoring."
"Varonis Platform wasn't certainly the cheapest solution."
"The pricing is good. It neither expensive nor cheap. It is average."
"The platform is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"It's expensive, kind of, really expensive."
