Predefined classifiers in place support sensitive data scanning effectively

BigID does not currently support Kerberos authentication for DataStax. On the user interface, analyzing true and false positives can be challenging, as I can only view 2,000 characters at a time. When tagging scan results, all objects get tagged without the option to untag specific ones. This requires reverting changes through MongoDB, which can result in data loss.

Automating compliance processes with effective data classification

One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"BigID is more advanced than Microsoft Purview when it comes to machine learning and AI development tools."

"I like BigID's in-depth discovery and scanning capabilities, especially for unstructured data. This feature is a standout compared to competitors. The tool's data classification capabilities are impressive. It offers custom classifiers and a blend of regular exploration and artificial intelligence, making it a next-generation solution. This enhances data security, and its security posture management is straightforward and user-friendly."

"It provides a unified view across different databases and supports a wide range of data source types, including cloud and on-premises systems."

"The data classification offered by the tool can help companies improve their security strategy"

"The features that I have found most valuable are the user experience, the credentialing, and that BigID is user friendly. Additionally, you can deploy to several other Microsoft platforms and you can use it for other things, like a bigger element or a report."

"Data classification is highly effective due to its automatic capabilities."

"BigID's scanning feature is its most valuable component."

"BigID has one of the best technical support teams."

More BigID pros

"Technical support for Securiti is good."

"Data discovery is a fantastic product."

More Securiti pros

Cons

"I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management. The privacy tools have not been widely used, and they have not invested much in privacy code privacy tools."

"BigID needs improvement in terms of automation."

"Improvement could be made in data consent management and data privacy impact assessment."

"BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee."

"One concern I have with BigID is regarding certain scans, like the multi-scan. The issue is that we can stop and retrieve these scans, but once they start, they go through an enumeration process."

"There are some shortcomings when it comes to Calvirus authentication, which is not yet supported by BigID."

"Some users find catalog navigation challenging due to the lack of a search-by-column feature, which makes it difficult to locate specific data quickly."

"There are some shortcomings when it comes to Calvirus authentication, which is not yet supported by BigID."

More BigID cons

"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."

"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."

"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."

"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."

"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."

"With the formation and education, specifically the security education, they could update the educational video more often."

"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."

"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."

More Securiti cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that BigID's pricing is very reasonable."

"The solution is expensive."

"The solution is not licensed per user but rather based on capacity. For instance, organizations with large amounts of data, such as 50 GB or more, are the ones that typically qualify for BigID."

"The product is expensive, but so are all competitor tools"

"The pricing depends. If you have thousands of data sources to connect and manage, and you struggled with an MDM package in the past, you'll find BigID valuable and even cheap. But if you're a small business, it's probably not the right tool for you."
