Lockdown devices and ports on endpoints so that you can stop propagation of any virus if it's detected but performance utilization can be better
It's scalable in the form of it now covers mobile devices as well as a number of other different types of devices, not just Windows. Also, there's no limit as to how many devices you can install it on. We plan to expand the number of devices/users as we get more people onboard or upgrade to more mobile devices; we will then increase the number of licenses for mobile devices. We've got 450 licenses, but we've got about 375 devices and users currently. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. There's not a product yet that I've found that I can't put it on, especially now that they've got the new release, which was the mobile agents.

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

"The automated response capability in SentinelOne enhances security operations. It means I don't have to worry about having too many security people watching it because you can automate a lot of the tasks."
"The solution's classification engine is highly configurable and efficient."
"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
"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."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"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 most important feature is remediation. In remediation support, there is no group permission. We'll go ahead and remediate the access from the Dell folder to the parent folder."
"Technical support from Varonis is rated as nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"The performance utilization on the device that it's monitoring. This aspect needs improvement."
"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."
"The troubleshooting capabilities could be improved. It has so many interconnected components."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"The licensing pricing model and module licensing can be complex for customers to understand."
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a three out of ten; one is very expensive, and ten is an absolutely cheap product."
"It's expensive, kind of, really expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is good. It neither expensive nor cheap. It is average."
"Licensing is on an annual basis. Maintenance and renewal fees are separate. Varonis Datalert is quite expensive."
"Varonis Platform wasn't certainly the cheapest solution."
