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.

A next-generation DLP tool with camera detection feature
I like the camera detection feature, which other DLP tools don't have. The content discovery is similar to other platforms like Symantec, using techniques like regular expressions. It's enough for my use case. Zecurion DLP is a next-generation DLP tool with great investigation features. If someone breaches a rule, it can capture desktop screenshots and user photos as evidence. I don't need to invest in additional tools for features like watermarking.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
"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."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"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."
"Technical support from Varonis is rated as nine out of ten."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"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 unique features of Zecurion DLP include photo prediction, which disables the ability to take pictures from a handset by activating the laptop camera for identification."
"I like the camera detection feature, which other DLP tools don't have. The content discovery is similar to other platforms like Symantec, using techniques like regular expressions. It's enough for my use case."
 

Cons

"It is significantly complex."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"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 product is very complicated."
"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."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."
"One area for improvement is the lack of pre-built rules for compliance in Indonesia, so I have to define rules myself."
"The deployment process could be simplified as it is slightly complex due to the security solution requirement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is good. It neither expensive nor cheap. It is average."
"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."
"Licensing is on an annual basis. Maintenance and renewal fees are separate. Varonis Datalert is quite expensive."
"It's expensive, kind of, really expensive."
"The platform is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."
"Varonis Platform wasn't certainly the cheapest solution."
"Zecurion DLP is cheaper than competitors like Symantec."
