“Damaged Files in RO Operations: Agent Performance Concerns”

Deployment is time consuming but simple. Agents and UI don't feel done yet, some items that seem like they should be clickable are not. Agent while in doing RO operations managed to damage files.

About Company

Company Description

Updated 10th November 2023

Spirion excels in the precise, automated, and ongoing process of discovering, classifying, and remediating sensitive data at risk. Spirion's Sensitive Data Platform aligns with the fundamental DSPM capabilities outlined by the Cloud Security Alliance, which encompass data discovery, the classification of sensitive data to assess and prioritize risks, and static risk analysis concerning sensitive data. In contrast to other DSPM vendors that provide restricted visibility exclusively into cloud storage and unstructured data, Spirion distinguishes itself by its unparalleled ability to locate structured and unstructured data wherever it may reside, whether in the cloud, on-premises, or on endpoints, all with exceptional accuracy.

Reviewer Insights for: Spirion

Spirion Likes & Dislikes

Like

The current product is good and easy to use. It's very intuitive.

Like

Connections to data sources are good.

Like

The way you structure and create playbooks is one of the best features. You can create simple small playbooks and get good results or you can go very complex to get extremely precise results. When dealing with sensitive data this is a huge benefit for your team.

Dislike

Lack of documentation. Cloud product needs to keep improving until we have all the capabilities of the on-premises one.

Dislike

Issues with the agent on the network and damaged files. Proper testing should have stopped this.

Dislike

Learning how to create playbooks efficiently can be a bit of a challenge. It does require a few meetings with the product team to walk you through on how to set up the playbooks so your scans are looking for the right data.
