“Setup takes far too long.”

Selected Varonis DatAdvantage Cloud as it is one of the few platforms that is seamlessly integrated with Box. It has been nothing short of a headache since choosing them as a vendor. We are on month 4 now of setup despite them advertising it taking weeks. Stay FAR away from this company and product.

Varonis Data Security Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

There are a lot of other products that detect your data but have no way of remediation. I love the automation services that help me resolve large scale issues. Here are the top 3 I use: 1) Broken ACL Permission Repairs 2) Global Group Open Access Remediation 3) Scheduled Reporting for Risk Review

Like

Visualization is powerful and the product does its job of categorizing data.

Like

Varonis allows me and my team to sleep easy knowing that our data is being monitored by Varonis' team of analysts and that they have deployed automations that can detect and mitigate any attacks. They have discovered tons of overexposed files and helped us to remediate those issues. The service is excellent and support is always attentive and thorough.

Dislike

Their self-hosted platform is not as good as the SAAS solution. It might be worth the price but it is an expensive product.

Dislike

Setup advertising vs actual duration was not even close. Support was lacking and continued to hear the dreaded we have never seen this before line.

Dislike

I don't have any complaints, it doesn't walk the dog?
