To know who, when and where any modification was made - transparency on each action and also the alerts that the product can trigger to pay attention at a glance - Good Dashboard

Some features were not available from the start of our implementation, although not deal breaking as the core functionality is there for what we needed.

Dislike

I think that Ui is not that great for Varonis Data Security plaform for insider risk management and it looks like that it's somewhat outdated. You might also feel that it needs a huge processing power and server infrastructure which alone could be cumbersome.

Dislike

To have a concise Dashboard for the exec C suite members - to have in one screen what are the potential gain in our security posture during a period for example
