    Strong data visibility and governance value realized within initial months of deployment with outstanding support.

    5.0
    Feb 23, 2026
    After completing an extensive proof of value and using the Varonis platform successfully for the past eight months, we can confidently say that it has delivered meaningful, measurable value for our data security and governance programs. The POV process was extensive, and the Varonis team was highly engaged and responsive. It was well-structured, practical, and focused on real risks rather than theoretical use cases. By the end of the evaluation, Varonis clearly demonstrated visibility into where our sensitive data resides, who has access to it, and where our highest exposure existed. This made the purchasing decision very straightforward. In production, the platform has been stable, scalable and effective. Varonis provides clear, actionable insights into data access and risks, allowing us to move from reactive discovery to a more proactive approach. The ability to quickly identify overexposed data and prioritize remediation has been particularly valuable for governance, compliance and information security. Support and customer engagement have been extremely strong. During the POV and production implementation, the Varonis team has been knowledgeable, responsive, and invested in our success.
