Cloud security has improved remote access and has reduced costs for smaller client sites

I have used Cloudflare One's Identity-Aware Proxy, and it is quite straightforward from what I have seen so far. The app registration on the Azure side integrates fully into Cloudflare, and I am very satisfied with that part because it is easy to set up. The integration of Cloudflare One's Secure Web Gateway and Zero Trust Network Access works without any issues. That part is pretty automatic, and if you complete the rest of the setup, it comes together by itself with no issues from my side. What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection. The hops get shorter and you get better latency. We have done testing to see if it is better. One thing that we did notice with our proof of concept with our current client is that they have people connecting from the UK. When they used their previous VPN solution, uploading CAD drawings and other files to the server took a long time. They mentioned that it is much quicker on Cloudflare One's solution. I definitely believe that is part of the improved performance, and I am satisfied with that as well. What is nice about Cloudflare One is that it makes the setup easier and also easier to train technicians to maintain it. Compared to legacy systems, we do not need to get fancy firewalls in place that are costly. That is definitely also a cost-saver with Cloudflare One.

Has supported centralized management while needing improvements in feature depth

I have experience working with SentinelOne XDR, EDR, and XDR. Trellix DLP also offers EDR, XDR, and DLP solutions. The platform can be on the cloud, but the end users typically have their own devices installed with DLP on-premises. On a scale from one to ten, I rate Trellix DLP a seven.

Data governance has strengthened and automation now reduces risk and manual compliance work

Varonis Platform offers key features including data discovery, data classification, data analysis, governance, user and entity behavior analysis, also known as UEBA, which helps in ransomware detection, insider threat detection, and compliance reporting. It does a lot of automation from a remediation standpoint, as well as investigation and forensics. The number one feature that makes the biggest difference for my clients is visibility into unstructured data; that is the most difficult for organizations to achieve. They do not have a good understanding of where sensitive data resides, who has access to this data, whether this access is appropriate, and how data is being used. Varonis Platform provides visibility, governance, threat detection, and automated remediation around data. Varonis Platform is a great data discovery platform that provides visibility into sensitive data estimates and how it is being used. Clients have been able to reduce excessive permissions, strengthen their compliance posture, detect insider threats, and ransomware activity, which would otherwise be difficult and manual. Varonis Platform is deployed in my clients' organizations in a combination of all types. Many clients use Varonis Platform in a largely SaaS-based model since it is a data security platform consumed in this way, and many organizations still operate hybrid environments. As far as Varonis Platform is in a position to get the data source and identify systems, it can discover and classify more secure data. Deployment in most of our clients is cloud-based, connecting to Microsoft 365, AWS, or other SaaS applications such as Salesforce. In other environments, it is a hybrid deployment with SaaS and on-premises, including file servers, NAS devices, and AD servers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool also offers good scalability, and the dashboard, along with real-time analytics, is very good."

"What makes it nice is that we can actually start replacing on-site firewalls at this stage for the smaller clients because it does not matter if they go to a coffee shop or work from home; they are still secured by the same connection."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform removes the risk of exposing the applications to the public."

"Cloudflare DDoS is better than its competitors for its security, deployment, and scalability."

"I'm very satisfied with the environment and the dashboard."

"Using Cloudflare One makes my work quite easy because for DDoS protection, all I need to do is understand the OSI model and click; it makes it easier than trying to write a command line or use a Linux command."

"The blocking feature is very good."

"The solution has different options that can be used to differentiate DDoS attacks."

More Cloudflare One pros

"Scalability is feasible since it's on-premises. It's easy to scale there."

"Trellix DLP has an agent that continuously scans the endpoint and sends the data to the portal. From there, it continuously leverages data from its threat intelligence."

"Trellix can transfer the data through the cloud. The storage device control is an important feature."

"It prevents enterprises from installing external software and devices and can block specific network pathways."

"Trellix DLP offers many features, using EDR, EPP, disk encryption, and other features."

"The support from both the vendor and Trellix is excellent."

"The best thing about Trellix DLP is its unified console that allows us to manage all products from endpoint protection to email protection, DLP, and many more, including SIM."

"The solution involves implementing the confidentiality, utility, and availability principles."

More Trellix DLP pros

"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's classification engine is highly configurable and efficient."

"The example I used with the hospital gives a very clear picture of the ROI."

"Varonis offers robust data access governance, allowing us to understand which sensitive data exists and who has access to it."

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

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

"Overall, if you want to check your data from an initial point of view, Varonis Platform is the best use case you can consider."

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

More Varonis Platform pros

Cons

"Our customers no longer use Cloudflare because its service is subpar."

"Our subscription plan for the solution has a limitation of bot signatures."

"There are premium tier live service and lower tier live service, so we opted for the lower tier. But there is no medium tier where we pay a little extra and get a bit more service. So if that can be improved."

"The software has automated alerts, but the automated alerts are not available in the mobile app."

"The onboarding process can be improved a little bit."

"Cloudflare DDoS has poor technical support."

"The free plan has limitations. For example, I can only set up three rules, and the application firewall is unavailable."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform needs to improve its documentation. It took time to do the implementation."

More Cloudflare One cons

"It's not very user-friendly for a beginner, so it would be easier if the platform or console were manageable or user-friendly. The dashboard could be simplified."

"When cases are raised, partners perform initial L1 or L2 troubleshooting. However, ticket resolution times are often too long, with new engineers sometimes requesting the same logs repeatedly."

"The bugs need improvement."

"The main issue I have currently is with technical support."

"Having someone within a region who understands the countries and how they approach data and information security is sometimes where the problem lies."

"Virtualization is complex and requires proper training. However, once you get trained, it is a very good product."

"The support team's response time during the night is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The main challenge we face is with our on-premises Trellix DLP implementation. While we can push the agent, we cannot apply the policy on Azure systems."

More Trellix DLP cons

"Varonis Platform could be improved because when I used it, we had a significant issue related to the large volume of data on that file share."

"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."

"Be prepared that when you implement the product, you will have to tune it as you go."

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

"I would like it to have cloud integration."

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

"The potential areas of improvement I see for Varonis Platform are that it doesn't have a SIEM or SOAR console where you can see your incidents or a native style incident case management where you can see all your incidents and do the tracking of all those things."

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

More Varonis Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price tag is no longer $200,000, but rather $300,000 to $400,000. It's twice."

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There are no hidden charges apart from the licensing costs of the solution."

"The pricing of the solution is cheap. The licensing cost is also very low. I rate the cost and pricing a three out of ten."

"The prices are slightly expensive."

"The solution's pricing lacks transparency."

"The pricing is somewhere in the middle. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten."

"The solution is not that expensive."

"Cloudflare Zero Trust Platform's pricing is good."

"The pricing depends on the number of users in a company."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."
