“Varonis Provides Deep Data Coverage and Surprising Value in Threat Detection”

5.0
Jan 13, 2026
I inherited Varonis, it was already deployed when I joined and that deployment included some aspects that I didn't even realize Varonis offered (like MDDR). Overall, I have been very pleased with both it's depth and breadth of coverage but what has set them apart from our other technology partners is the support we receive from them. We maintain a steady cadence of engagement with them, and have strong relationships throughout our Org and theirs.

Varonis Data Security Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

I understood Varonis to be a, if not the, leader in data discovery and classification and they have shown that to be the case in our environment. We know what's where and who has access to it and we have the ability to enforce least privilege, remediate over-sharing, etc. on an ongoing, automated basis. What I didn't expect was the value they would bring in threat detection and how essential they would be as an extension of our SOC. MDDR has been very valuable to us, and key to helping us get the most from our ongoing investment.

Like

Automation, support, and usability are key strengths.

Like

What we love most about this platform is the technical support, the ease of use, and the peace of mind it provides through its monitoring and reporting capabilities. Together, these features give us confidence in the solution and its ability to secure our data and allow us to focus on operations rather than constant oversight.

Dislike

We constantly push Varonis, and all of our tech partners to do more...to be more agile, configurable and customizable. No one is good enough in this area and we continue to push.

Dislike

Product is overly modular and can be expensive for specific use cases.

Dislike

We have not found any functionality or variables that we dislike at this time.

    Comprehensive Support and Reporting Features Provide Confidence in Platform Implementation

    5.0
    Feb 5, 2026
    Our experience began with a strong product overview from our very knowledgeable rep, including a thorough review of the available offerings. We appreciated the flexibility to create a bundled solution tailored to our organization's needs, which helped streamline the procurement process and made it easy to move forward. Having a real tool to help accelerate safer copilot and onedrive adoption along with improved HIPAA compliance and a stronger security posture made this purchase a slam dunk.

    An extremely powerful security and governance tool if the organization is prepared for it.

    Varonis has been a solid tool for understanding and monitoring data access across environments. The visibility into permissions and activity is a major strength. There is a learning curve and some administrative overhead, but the value it provides for security and compliance outweighs those challenges.
