As privacy regulations evolve, organizations are grappling with an increasingly complex web of state and global privacy laws. This isn't just a challenge for compliance teams; it’s a company-wide issue, with regulators imposing over $1 billion in fines in 2024 alone, not to mention customers becoming increasingly litigious over biometric data, cookies and tracking technologies. Osano simplifies privacy compliance for organizations worldwide, empowering privacy professionals to turn a…

Chose Osano
I prefer Osano over others for it's easy of configuration and flexibility to adjust language dynamical and legal requirements dynamically based on user device and/or location. Plus easily add team members to help manage the various parts of the software make this a one stop …
Varonis Data Security Platform
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
When it comes to data security we all want something stable with good protocol practices. Varonis is good at data analyzing, detecting threats, taking actions and compliance. Varonis needs lots of resources to run and it is somewhat expensive. But still I believe that Varonis …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
Varonis does a much better job presenting the entire picture. It can show an account being used, then elevated and then what actions were done with that account on a file system. ADaudit didn't have all of this information available with the modules we tested.
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
The tools does not allow easy search capabilities and auditing is a little more difficult. The tool is less expensive, but the expertise surrounding the installation and management of the tool is lacking. The reporting feature is less robust and the ability to fully …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
Actually, we didn't expend much time evaluating other file auditing platforms. We chose Varonis just after a serious incident and we had already heard about Varonis at a Netapp event. So it was an easy choice. We called Varonis and asked them for a PoC, that's it. The PoC …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
We have not evaluated against other competitors. We have had this product several years, and they were one of the first of their type of product. While I am aware some products do much of the same functions, there would be a lot of time and effort involved in comparing and …
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
We briefly evaluated Stealthbits, but found it was not a major Enterprise grade product
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
We used it as it was the right business requirement for us and the implementation was simple and quick.
Chose Varonis Data Security Platform
At the time of our purchase Stealth Bits did not have the same functionality that we initially wanted, so Varonis was the better option and across the available modules again Varonis could cover more future use areas. As of now Stealth Bits has really caught up and as they do …

Osano is great for a full suite of websites to manage. Agencies and companies with many websites to attend to are a good match for Osano's capabilities. Websites that run a lot of cookies and scripts (aka anything WordPress) are good candidates for this service. It is also useful for managing user data, although I do not leverage that feature in my own use.

For sure it is well suited for companies that need to keep track of their data and that are willing to pay for it. It does an excelent job of monitoring the file's access, with zero impact on Storage's performance. Sometimes it is not enough to be able to restore the data. Sometimes in critical incidents, managers and heads demand to know who caused it. Thanks to Varonis we were able to give them this information easily and in a short time.

Cons
  • Would appreciate greater styling control over certain ui elements than are currently provided

  • 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

I wish the cost was a little bit lower and increase functionality and features would give it 10/10.

Support has always been very responsive and addressed any issues we may have had in the past. Some local engineers are willing to come onsite or work over a web session to discuss creating a new rule set or look at some issues. Getting issues address has never been a problem. There was one feature we had trouble getting to function correctly, but support and local engineers were willing to work with us as much as needed to get it working correctly for our organization.

  • Legal compliance is more easily met without need to constantly review and adjust.
  • Easy to manage interface has allowed team with less technical expertise to make simple changes when needed.

  • Varonis has only been a positive impact on our environment, but helping us close security holes that we didn't know existed.
  • This product has also provided piece of mind by watching our environment for Malware attacks and taking automatic actions if necessary.
  • This software does require a fair amount of server resources, but fortunately can be hosted in a virtual environment and has made this need easier to handle.
