Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 7, 2025

Securonix Next-Gen SIEM and Varonis Platform both compete in the data security and threat detection market, excelling in different areas. Securonix may hold an edge for cloud-focused entities due to its cloud-readiness and threat chains, while Varonis is preferred for its comprehensive data access governance and threat management.

Features: Securonix Next-Gen SIEM offers advanced user behavior analytics, machine learning-powered threat detection, and seamless cloud integration, appealing to organizations needing high customization and reduced false positives. Varonis Platform stands out for data access governance, feeding multiple data streams into a unified system, and efficiently identifying sensitive data, ensuring high-standard data security.

Room for Improvement: Securonix could improve its user interface for newer customers, enhance automation, and speed up report customization. Varonis needs faster engines for large datasets and better integration with cloud systems. Its high licensing cost poses a challenge, and integrating Data Loss Prevention features would benefit users.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Securonix provides flexible cloud and hybrid deployment options with generally strong customer support, despite some reports of delayed responses. Varonis, rooted in on-premises systems, may face cloud flexibility challenges. Its customer service is reliable but occasionally slow for complex setups.

Pricing and ROI: Securonix is competitively priced, offering transparent licensing based on employee numbers and delivering strong ROI through rapid deployment and integration features. Varonis, while costly with its modular approach, delivers substantial ROI by enhancing data security and preventing data loss, though it generally suits larger enterprises.

The visibility and analytics from Securonix SIEM have become indispensable in identifying and stopping potential threats before they escalate.

The most valuable feature of Securonix Next-Gen SIEM is its advance analytics, flexibility and scalability. We ingest billions of logs without worrying about resource allocation. This makes it a robust and cost-effective solution for our needs. Its user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) are also integral for detecting insider threats and lateral movements within the organization. These features help organizations strengthen their security posture, protect sensitive data, and maintain compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

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

"The software includes user behavior interactions, dashboards, and training capabilities."

"One of the valuable features of Securonix is the auto-incident creation, which was not available two or three years ago."

"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."

"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."

"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."

"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."

"The machine-learning algorithms are the most valuable feature because they're able to identify the 'needle in the haystack.'"

"The solution is time-saving, particularly in the long run after it is deployed, enabling us to get value promptly."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pros

"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."

"That alerting and reporting service is great."

"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."

"The solution ensures that users have not accidentally shared sensitive information with the wrong people or too many people."

"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."

"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."

"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."

"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."

More Varonis Platform pros

Cons

"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."

"The dashboards in Securonix Next-Gen SIEM need more customization and informational capabilities."

"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."

"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."

"We would like to see better integration with other products."

"It seems to me that within Securonix there is no option for completely visualizing the types of sources or if there is any loss of logs. I've heard that they have an additional module to validate those types of cases, but in terms of the platform itself only, I can only see how often it sends data but not any specific detail."

"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."

"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM cons

"The solution's interface is a little complicated with regard to setting up filters and reports."

"Varonis requires more access permissions for its core functions compared to competitors, which can be a concern for companies about data safety."

"The product is very complicated."

"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"

"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."

"The solution's areas of improvement are the interface and the dependency on on-premises deployment for some components."

"It is significantly complex."

"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."

More Varonis Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is fine. We found it to be cheaper than LogRhythm, Exabeam, Splunk, as well as Elastic Security. A few months ago, when we were comparing Securonix with Elastic Security, we found Securonix to be cheaper than Elasticsearch. We were pretty surprised that Elastic Security is more expensive than Securonix because Elasticsearch is just starting, and it cannot compete with Securonix at this time. So, the pricing of Securonix is pretty good for now."

"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."

"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."

"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."

"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."

"Compared to other brands it seems more affordable to us."

"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."

"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."

More Securonix Next-Gen SIEM pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is good. It neither expensive nor cheap. It is average."

"Varonis Platform wasn't certainly the cheapest solution."

"Licensing is on an annual basis. Maintenance and renewal fees are separate. Varonis Datalert is quite expensive."

"The platform is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"You could do a subscription, where you pay yearly, or you could purchase it outright. The licensing cost is based on the number of users on the system that you are monitoring."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"It's expensive, kind of, really expensive."
