Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, Splunk, Rapid7 and others in User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)."The solution works well when used with other Microsoft solutions."
"The stability of the solution is very good."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to report on questionable activity."
"The analytics would have to be our most valuable feature."
"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."
"It can easily identify unusual behavior or access patterns that may pose a potential threat, while operating as a unified reporting system."
"The 24/7 support is the most valuable feature. They have been able to answer support questions pretty quickly."
"That alerting and reporting service is great."
"Some of the newer features are not completely there yet... For example, there's a tool that allows you to grade your overall internal security and I don't feel that it's completely accurate."
"It would be ideal if the interface allowed for more granular configurations. For example, if I were to set a rule that is a deviation from the pre-defined rules in the Microsoft product, there's conflict."
"There are occasions where it generates some false positives and you have to embark into figuring it out. You need to find out if it was a true alert or a false positive. It's a little bit cumbersome in that area."
"It is significantly complex."
"I'd like to see automatic updates for this solution. Currently, it's a manual process to update all the keywords"
"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."
"The GUI should be more functional. There should be a process for connecting through Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc."
"For unstructured data monitoring, it's one of the top ones, if not the top one, due to its usability."
"I would like it to have cloud integration."
