Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Splunk, Rapid7 and others in User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)."I appreciate the comprehensive categorization of devices based on their intended use, such as those for DNS."
"The reporting feature was the key differentiator. I also liked the ability to create dynamic rules in the environment."
"The most valuable feature of Gurucul is the ability to customize and it is on the Hadoop platform that has a lot of flexibility."
"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."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"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 telemetry to capture everything and the reports are very easy to configure without having a developer degree."
"Regarding the prioritization of threats, Gurucul UEBA needs to enhance its alert severity assignment process within the system."

"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."
"It is significantly complex."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
