Smarter Approach. Better Outcomes.

Despite what Varonis and Varonis competitors tell you, proper data security extends far beyond data, data classification and activity monitoring are not DLP, and mitigation is not prevention either.


If you’re frustrated with Varonis’ overhyped marketing, attachment to any security acronym that’s hot, and their exorbitant price tag, give us a shout!

Netwrix vs

Varonis

Data Discovery

& Access

  • Netwrix automatically discovers where your data exists, eliminating blind spots so you can properly manage risk.
  • Netwrix employs patented prevention techniques that overcome limitations in native security controls, such as preventing unauthorized changes and authentication, data access and exfiltration, and even weak passwords.
  • Netwrix’s industry-leading Endpoint DLP technology prevents data exfiltration via dozens of egress points (e.g., USB drives, web applications, printers, and more) across multiple OS platforms including Windows, Mac, and Linux.
  • Netwrix provides the most comprehensive Active Directory and Entra ID Security portfolio in the industry, enabling organizations to ensure the directories responsible for supplying access to their data are clean, understood, configured properly, monitored closely, and controlled tightly.

Active Directory Security

  • Varonis is blind to the location of your data and needs to be explicitly told.
  • Varonis’ Active Directory and Entra ID capabilities are largely limited to auditing, reporting, and alerting.
  • Varonis’ website prominently promotes their DLP prowess, despite having no capability to actually prevent the exfiltration of data.
  • Varonis cannot block.
  • Varonis’ “silver bullet” story falls well short of comprehensive in the real world where data compromise and exfiltration are the outcome of inadequate defenses at the data, identity, and infrastructure layers.
  • At Netwrix, we believe Data Security extends beyond the data itself. Netwrix has curated a portfolio of capabilities addressing many of the most important issues relating to data security across the data, identity, and infrastructure attack surfaces.

Like you, Netwrix understands that the security of your data equally relies on the security of the identities that supply access to it. We also understand that the security of your identities relies on the security of the desktop and server infrastructure those identities are mostly commonly compromised from.


With comprehensive, in-depth solutions spanning the data, identity, and infrastructure threat surfaces, Netwrix not only helps you see more, but implement actual safeguards and technical enforcement that prevent threats to your data security.

The Varonis Alternative that Helps You See the Whole Picture

Mitigate the risks around your sensitive data by reducing access to the minimum, proactively pinpointing conditions that could lead to a breach and automating threat mitigation.


Save valuable IT time and ensure accurate provisioning by enabling users to request access directly from the people who know who actually needs what access to which data: the data owners.


Maintain strict adherence to least privilege by making it easy for data owners to regularly review permissions to their data.

Detect even advanced complex attacks, including insider threats, in their early stages and automate your incident response to shut down identity and data threats immediately.


Empower your security teams with comprehensive visibility into all related security events, enabling effective investigation, incident reporting, and targeted recovery efforts.


Improve your data security posture by understanding how incidents start and unfold.

Ensure endpoint data loss prevention across all your endpoints, regardless of the operating system they run on. Netwrix's real-time DLP solution actively monitors and safeguards your sensitive data, preventing breaches, unauthorized sharing and malicious exfiltration to achieve regulatory compliance.


Stay protected even offline. Netwrix enables continious monitoring and data information protection even when your devices are in transit or in areas with limited connectivity.


Prevent unauthorized access and data leaks by ensuring that sensitive data is only accessed, copied, or transferred with explicit authorization from an administrator.

Discover your blind spots by scaning tens of thousands of endpoints to identify potential footholds for attackers.


Remove unnecessary administrative accounts from all endpoints in a single click, ensuring just-in-time access to reduce the risk of installing malware or critical security settings being altered.


Get visibility over your attack surface with dashboards tailored to executives and IT pros. View all accounts and activity to have situational awareness of privileged activity.​
