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.
Frederic  Delos - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the ability to identify sensitive areas, allowing you to drill down into the sensitive data
The most effective feature for me is its ability to identify sensitive areas, allowing you to drill down into the sensitive data, provided you have access, to determine whether it's a false positive or a true positive. That's the best thing for me, out of all of it. It's got everything, like other ones, but I like to be able to look at something if I'm doing forensics on the alert and say, "Okay, do I really need to do something with this?" For example, we don't want sensitive data in our OneDrive. So it identifies the sensitive data that's possibly in the OneDrive. And what I can do is look at it and identify whether it's actually sensitive data in Datalert or whether it looks like sensitive data, but I know it's a false positive. If it is a false positive, I can basically say ignore this pattern based on X, Y, and Z, you know, whether it's Redjax or keyword proximity. So I like that. With other tools, I gotta go through a whole process because it's a little bit more complex. Here, I can tag it and bag it in one shot. And the next good time I scan, it slips over it. So it helps in that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very scalable. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability."
"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."
"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Overall, I would rate Securiti a nine out of ten."
"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."
"Data discovery is a fantastic product."
"The automated way of identifying and classifying personal information is very beneficial."
"The telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"The most important feature is remediation. In remediation support, there is no group permission. We'll go ahead and remediate the access from the Dell folder to the parent folder."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"On the Varonis side, technical support is phenomenal. Their ability to explain is very good, and they seem to be very knowledgeable. When I get an alert that doesn't quite make sense, they dive in there and kind of take me through it. That's very useful and very good. There are some false alerts, but it is better to have a false alert than no alert at all."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"Varonis offers robust data access governance, allowing us to understand which sensitive data exists and who has access to it."
"The solution ensures that users have not accidentally shared sensitive information with the wrong people or too many people."
"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs enhancement. It would be helpful to have better documentation and more accessible support, especially when raising support tickets."
"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."
"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."
"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."
"With the formation and education, specifically the security education, they could update the educational video more often."
"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."
"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."
"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."
"The remediation process can be improved. There will be no existing permission group for the McAfee channel domains. We can create a new permissions group for the required folder."
"We have Microsoft Office 365. I just saw an article today which says that they're actually getting integrated with Microsoft Office 365, which would be a useful feature. For user-based reports, log on activity, and stuff like that, it doesn't seem to really be present like Log360. That could just be my inexperience with it. I've been dealing with it for only about two and a half months."
"Varonis requires more access permissions for its core functions compared to competitors, which can be a concern for companies about data safety."
"The solution's interface is a little complicated with regard to setting up filters and reports."
"It is significantly complex."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"The solution's areas of improvement are the interface and the dependency on on-premises deployment for some components."
"The product is very complicated."
