Dvir Dahan - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Security Specialist at Tufin
Data protection has become automated and AI now simplifies managing sensitive information
By using ORION Security, we experience false positives, and we are working with the team every week to fine-tune the system. They listen to us for every feature request and everything we need. We work very closely to mitigate all false positives, but they still occur at approximately 10 to 20 percent. In terms of areas for improvement, false positives continue to occur, and the data categorization and sensitivity label level of alerts could be improved. We receive some alerts marked as critical and high, but they are not critical or high for our organization. This aspect can improve, including the alert severity levels.

Good value, easy to use, and easy to deploy
In terms of what can be improved, that is a question I think the end users can tell you better. I'm not the end-user for this system. However, I can say that it needs to be more scalable. I think they already have a good value proposition in terms of being a hybrid model, and the reporting is okay, as well. It could have better integration with other SIEMs, but this integration has to come from the SIEM side, not ObserveIT.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ORION Security helps me manage sensitive data when it moves across endpoints, browsers, SaaS, email, cloud tools, and AI, and we control almost everything and see almost everything, including emails, the browser, the AI agent, external storage, or network shares."
"With Orion, setup was fast, the insights are actually useful, and we are not drowning in false alerts."
"Overall, it gives a consistent and really good return on investment."
"Record videos that have a very small file size Management interface is very convenient and intuitive"
"Customer Service: The ObserveIT professional services team has been excellent, extremely engaged and genuinely concerned with our success."
"Meta data search Alert generation."
"All my clients are very pleased with this product as it helps them to keep track of what partners and employees are doing on the servers."
"It resolved security issues of the organization by providing audit reports and records to our customers."
"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."
 

Cons

"Granular alert customization would be helpful."
"By using ORION Security, we experience false positives, and we are working with the team every week to fine-tune the system."
"Ticketing and issue management. Based on the new system, one needs to go through the sales people."
"I had some problems with an instance of ObserveIT in a Proof of Concept, when I installed ObserveIT with an SQL Express instance and the DB used all provisioned space."
"OCR capability, support for Mainframe, Ticketing and Incident workflow."
"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."
"The tool is still not providing records of tunnels established - we would like to see it in future versions."
