We performed a comparison between Varonis Platform and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Varonis Platform is great at monitoring and analyzing user behavior, and also offers automation of data management tasks. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's Spotter feature allows for intensive research and separation of violations by top violators, and UEBA is a valuable feature of the platform. Varonis Platform has room for improvement in its user interface, integration, documentation, performance, and cost. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM could benefit from more flexible reports and analytics, faster report generation, improved communication with users about cyber-threat intelligence databases, and additional administrative options.
Service and Support: Varonis Platform receives mostly positive feedback for their customer service, which is described as being both responsive and knowledgeable. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's customer service is said to be mixed, with some instances of positive experiences but also some mentions of delays in response.
Ease of Deployment: Varonis Platform has an easy and quick deployment process with clear instructions, but some configuration may be necessary. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's setup experience varies depending on the reviewer's involvement, with data source onboarding taking some time.
Pricing: While Varonis Platform's cost depends on complexity and level of support, Securonix is generally cheaper than other products. However, some reviewers have found Securonix's licensing to be complex and problematic in the long term.
ROI: Securonix offers benefits such as time and manpower savings, contextual information, and improved efficiency and accuracy in investigations. Varonis Platform as well offers an ROI.
Comparison Results: Users prefer Securonix Next-Gen SIEM over Varonis Platform due to its user-friendly interface, customizable reporting, and competitive pricing. Securonix's Spotter feature and UEBA capabilities are particularly praised by users.
"The UEBA functionality indicates a lot about behaviors that are not found through a traditional SIEM. We have exploited that more than anything since we started using it."
"The customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"I rate the technical support a nine out of ten. They're friendly. Whenever we have a P1 issue, we write an email and our issue is resolved in one or two hours."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"What I like most is that the threat models and risk scoring are very accurate and very helpful to the analysts on my team. They help highlight the most important things for them to look at."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is their analytics platform where they have the open security data-link, which they introduced. This is typically different from the other vendors."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"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."
"It could be improved a little bit more for admin users. There should be more administrative options related to security for admin users. For example, for forensic purposes, the admin should be able to stop a specific user from erasing some information. I would be helpful in certain situations, such as during an internal fraud."
"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"It takes too long to generate Spotter reports. For example, a 90-day report is around 100 megabytes. That takes a while, but a one-day report can be generated in a few seconds. We would be happy if they sped up the process."
"The incident response area should be improved."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."
"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."
"The product is very complicated."
