Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 7, 2025

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM and Varonis Platform both compete in the data security and threat detection market, excelling in different areas. Securonix may hold an edge for cloud-focused entities due to its cloud-readiness and threat chains, while Varonis is preferred for its comprehensive data access governance and threat management.

Features: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers advanced user behavior analytics, machine learning-powered threat detection, and seamless cloud integration, appealing to organizations needing high customization and reduced false positives. Varonis Platform stands out for data access governance, feeding multiple data streams into a unified system, and efficiently identifying sensitive data, ensuring high-standard data security.

Room for Improvement: Securonix could improve its user interface for newer customers, enhance automation, and speed up report customization. Varonis needs faster engines for large datasets and better integration with cloud systems. Its high licensing cost poses a challenge, and integrating Data Loss Prevention features would benefit users.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Securonix provides flexible cloud and hybrid deployment options with generally strong customer support, despite some reports of delayed responses. Varonis, rooted in on-premises systems, may face cloud flexibility challenges. Its customer service is reliable but occasionally slow for complex setups.

Pricing and ROI: Securonix is competitively priced, offering transparent licensing based on employee numbers and delivering strong ROI through rapid deployment and integration features. Varonis, while costly with its modular approach, delivers substantial ROI by enhancing data security and preventing data loss, though it generally suits larger enterprises.

The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.

The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

Offers the ability to identify sensitive areas, allowing you to drill down into the sensitive data

The most effective feature for me is its ability to identify sensitive areas, allowing you to drill down into the sensitive data, provided you have access, to determine whether it's a false positive or a true positive. That's the best thing for me, out of all of it. It's got everything, like other ones, but I like to be able to look at something if I'm doing forensics on the alert and say, "Okay, do I really need to do something with this?" For example, we don't want sensitive data in our OneDrive. So it identifies the sensitive data that's possibly in the OneDrive. And what I can do is look at it and identify whether it's actually sensitive data in Datalert or whether it looks like sensitive data, but I know it's a false positive. If it is a false positive, I can basically say ignore this pattern based on X, Y, and Z, you know, whether it's Redjax or keyword proximity. So I like that. With other tools, I gotta go through a whole process because it's a little bit more complex. Here, I can tag it and bag it in one shot. And the next good time I scan, it slips over it. So it helps in that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The two major features of this product we extensively use are the UEBA capability and the multi-tenant approach with the centralized data logs system. Customers are very happy with these features."

"The machine-learning algorithms are the most valuable feature because they're able to identify the 'needle in the haystack.'"

"We can customize our use cases with the tools provided by Securonix. It is an excellent tool that can ingest data in different ways and is very flexible."

"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."

"The most valuable feature is being able to look at users' behavioral profiles to see what they typically access. One of the key events that we monitor is people's downloading of objects... It's very easy to see people's patterns, what they typically do."

"The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

"Varonis offers robust data access governance, allowing us to understand which sensitive data exists and who has access to it."

"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."

"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."

"That alerting and reporting service is great."

"I also appreciate the reporting feature, which allows for the extraction of various reports based on specific needs. These reports can be used for audit purposes, such as tracking changes in file locations or deletions."

"Technical support from Varonis is rated as nine out of ten."

"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."

More Varonis Platform pros

Cons

"We look forward to more developments from Securonix Next-Gen SIEM in terms of their service turnaround times and staying connected with customers."

"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."

"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."

"The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth, which is an area that needs improvement."

"Parsing needs to be improved. Every time we integrate a new, specific data source, we face a lot of problems in parsing, even for the old data source."

"There is slight room for improvement in terms of the initial deployment. What I see is that Securonix is more focused on their product. They are expanding, in a big way, the number of customers. So there has to be a number of dedicated teams to jump on and speed up the deployment process."

"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."

"The pricing. I'm not sure how they are proceeding with the identity based pricing compared with DB pricing which most of the vendors are using today."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM cons

"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."

"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."

"Varonis requires more access permissions for its core functions compared to competitors, which can be a concern for companies about data safety."

"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."

"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"

"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."

"The product is very complicated."

"The solution's interface is a little complicated with regard to setting up filters and reports."

More Varonis Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is double the competitors."

"We went in on a three-year agreement which has an annual licensing fee, based upon the number of people that we're monitoring. There have not been any additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."

"Licensing is based on events per second (EPS), costing between $50 to $60 per EPS."

"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."

"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."

"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pricing and cost advice

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"The pricing is good. It neither expensive nor cheap. It is average."

"Varonis Platform wasn't certainly the cheapest solution."

"Licensing is on an annual basis. Maintenance and renewal fees are separate. Varonis Datalert is quite expensive."

"The platform is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"It's expensive, kind of, really 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."
