We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"ObserveIT is small, easy to use, easy to deploy, and is not complicated, so it's more generally suited for only SMBs. It's a good value with a cheaper price."

More ObserveIT Pros →

"On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all.""That alerting and reporting service is great.""The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature.""The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly.""It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."

Cons
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."

More ObserveIT Cons →

"It is significantly complex.""We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months.""The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.""I would like it to have cloud integration.""I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
