The tool also permits auditing capabilities that we did not have prior to its implementation.
The tools also proactively alerts us to potential ransomware related events.
Cons
The tool is vast and it takes a significant amount of time to tune it for your evironment.
The report formatting is rudimentary and takes a while to get use to for staff.
The integration to our SIEM could be better.
Likelihood to Recommend
This tool is well suited to address all of our auditing and reporting for production data. The alerting feature is outstanding and the search feature is well executed. The interface is slightly outdated and the ability to search through archive data is cumbersome. The reporting options are excellent but the report display is not designed in a way that makes it difficult to interpret the results.
Varonis is being used by all of the organization to search for financial data to classify them and encrypt all that data.
Pros
Varonis accurately detects critical data on our file servers and classify them based on the type of data.
Encrypt all data as configured to secure the data from unauthorized access.
Alerting and reports gave us information that we did not have before.
Cons
The web interface is somewhat limited in terms of functionality
More licenses are required for additional features. This increases the cost to implement.
Customized reporting is lacking.
Likelihood to Recommend
Is well suited for companies that need to detect financial or personal information that requires it to be scanned, reported and encrypted. It's not suitable for nonsecurity requirements.

Varonis Data Security Platform is excellent for organizations of different sizes and if properly configured and tuned, allows security specialists to be aware of file activity and active directory statistics within their organization.
Data Governance suite was bought in for a couple of reasons, firstly to help with the organisation classification project and secondly to control and monitor access to data across the company. In both cases this tool provided a way of viewing what data was out there along with putting some control on who was accessing what and allowing the information owners and approvers to have a realtime view of what they are agreeing to when authorizing user access.
Pros
Ability to structure unstructured data
Help with data classification projects
Put access controls around data
Find out what is happening with your data
Cons
Implementation can be challenging in some areas and can only be executed by the vendor
Implementation can only be executed by the vendor and additional work can be chargeable
Licensing can be improved upon
Agent based so implementation can be longer than expected
Likelihood to Recommend
Data Governance is well suited to areas where there is a requirement to control user access and privileges to unorganised data, if an organisation is taking on the challenge of a data classification project then this is a great tool for finding out what data is out in the organisation. Some additional modules allow information owners and approvers to authorise user access through a web portal cutting down on a manual process and lets profile administration be auditable.
