The taming of (un)structured data
What do you like best about the product?
Varonis' solution suite of data classification and alerting tools are game-changing for managing both unstructured and structured data alike. It's the best tool I have ever used to shine a light on the unknown unknowns in our file shares. Not only was it able to locate and automatically detect PII we didn't know we had, it continued to identify new infractions on data management policy in near real-time. It's 1000% easier to fix process problems the day after data is created when you know who put it there, who is accessing it, and how often it happens.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial setup is a challenge, but the Varonis professional services team did a great job helping us identify our day 1 use cases as well as coming back to help assess the results after the product had been running for a month. Once we had a few weeks of data, we were able to start making real improvements to our data flows and processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding PII, credit card data, and other proprietary customer data in our existing legacy file shares. There was no way to correctly tackle this project without a classification engine and analytics since the tech teams responsible simply can't police every legacy file share and bad habit.
Great Tool for Access Control
What do you like best about the product?
Varonis DataPrivilege is a really basic tool for requesting and assigning access to folders and directories for individuals or groups. The simplicity is actually one of its strengths, as it makes it very straight forward to understand and use -no unnecessary or complicated bells and whistles to sift through, just a handful of fields and branches to select from, and a request is made. I love how an automated workflow will send the request to the appropriate manager for approval, so this tool is really a one-stop shop for access requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though the simplicity of the tool is one of its strengths, that's also a weakness, as the tool really doesn't do much other than access requests. It can feel overbearing to have a separate tool for everything you do at your company, and this is one that is very limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Varonis has made it very easy to make access requests. We appreciate the simplicity and have little to no issues working with the tool. Whenever access is needed, either temporarily or permanently, we go to Varonis DataPrivilege, and get the job done.
Great visibility
What do you like best about the product?
DatAlert integrates into the parts of your network that make sense. Having alerting that monitors your data and alerts you when it's moved to an insecure place is extremely valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There aren't any disadvantages to using the product. Early on, the product requires fine-tuning, but that is a small price to pay for the reward in functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using DatAlert helped confirm that sensitive data and data retention policies meet compliance requirements. The reduction in manual processes was notable, which translates to more time for innovation and project completion.
