We performed a comparison between Varonis Platform and Securonix Next-Gen SIEM based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Features: Varonis Platform is great at monitoring and analyzing user behavior, and also offers automation of data management tasks. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's Spotter feature allows for intensive research and separation of violations by top violators, and UEBA is a valuable feature of the platform. Varonis Platform has room for improvement in its user interface, integration, documentation, performance, and cost. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM could benefit from more flexible reports and analytics, faster report generation, improved communication with users about cyber-threat intelligence databases, and additional administrative options.
Service and Support: Varonis Platform receives mostly positive feedback for their customer service, which is described as being both responsive and knowledgeable. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's customer service is said to be mixed, with some instances of positive experiences but also some mentions of delays in response.
Ease of Deployment: Varonis Platform has an easy and quick deployment process with clear instructions, but some configuration may be necessary. On the other hand, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM's setup experience varies depending on the reviewer's involvement, with data source onboarding taking some time.
Pricing: While Varonis Platform's cost depends on complexity and level of support, Securonix is generally cheaper than other products. However, some reviewers have found Securonix's licensing to be complex and problematic in the long term.
ROI: Securonix offers benefits such as time and manpower savings, contextual information, and improved efficiency and accuracy in investigations. Varonis Platform as well offers an ROI.
Comparison Results: Users prefer Securonix Next-Gen SIEM over Varonis Platform due to its user-friendly interface, customizable reporting, and competitive pricing. Securonix's Spotter feature and UEBA capabilities are particularly praised by users.
"The feature that is most valuable is the fact that it's an open platform, so it allows us to modify policies and tune policies as needed. There's also a feature called Data Insights which allows us to create different dashboards on specific things of interest for us."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The detection of threats and reduction of false positive alarms as compared to other solutions are valuable features. It has improved threat detection response and reduced a lot of noise from false positives as compared to our previous SIEM solutions."
"The most valuable feature is being able to look at users' behavioral profiles to see what they typically access. One of the key events that we monitor is people's downloading of objects... It's very easy to see people's patterns, what they typically do."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
"The two major features of this product we extensively use are the UEBA capability and the multi-tenant approach with the centralized data logs system. Customers are very happy with these features."
"SNYPR has a bundle of features. It has the UEBA feature that tells you about the behavior of a person or entity. In the tool itself, there is an incident management feature, which is definitely valuable."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
"We would like a little more face-to-face training. Securonix has several tutorials on its website, but we want there to be a person in Colombia who does training or workshops to give us a better understanding of the platform."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Securonix implements risk scores based on different policies that are triggered. We've seen some challenges with the risk scores and how they trigger. These are things that Securonix has recognized and they've been working with us to help improve things."
"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."
"The solution could provide more automation."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"We have a lot of users who, because they're engineers and they're bringing down product data - where, at times, a top-level product could be 10,000 or 15,000 objects - it's difficult for us to determine what should be a concern and what shouldn't be a concern. We work with the Securonix folks to try to come up with better ways to identify that."
"Parsing needs to be improved. Every time we integrate a new, specific data source, we face a lot of problems in parsing, even for the old data source."
"The product is very complicated."
"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."
