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's customer service is said to be mixed, with some instances of positive experiences but also some mentions of delays in response.

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 customizability of the tool is valuable. We are able to customize the use cases and create them easily without a large amount of Securonix assistance. It's very flexible. We do not have to rely on Professional Services to modify or create a new use case."
"The big data security analytics platform, structured and unstructured data analytics, and user and entity behavior analytics provided by the product are probably the best in the industry."
"We can customize our use cases with the tools provided by Securonix. It is an excellent tool that can ingest data in different ways and is very flexible."
"Its console is very easy to use and configure. It is very intuitive for our use cases. App integrations are also pretty nice."
"The most valuable feature is what Securonix calls enrichment. Securonix is very powerful because of all the data it can process and automatically enrich. The actionable intelligence it provides is one of its benefits, due to the processing capacity it has."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it works on user behavior and event rarities."
"There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."
"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."
"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."
"One aspect that could be improved is the pricing of the product in Brazil."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
"Sometimes, the injectors lag and are not loading. It would be nice if that could be improved."
"We would like to see better integration with other products."
"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."
"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
"There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."
"The product is very complicated."
