Predefined classifiers in place support sensitive data scanning effectively

BigID does not currently support Kerberos authentication for DataStax. On the user interface, analyzing true and false positives can be challenging, as I can only view 2,000 characters at a time. When tagging scan results, all objects get tagged without the option to untag specific ones. This requires reverting changes through MongoDB, which can result in data loss.

Automating compliance processes with effective data classification

One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data. For the remaining data, even if it is PII, it may not be classified correctly. This could be due to incorrect or missing data in the dataset. Therefore, I still need to do some manual review to complete the exercise. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Securiti had a feature similar to data mesh, allowing users to directly access remote data through the Securiti UI. This would reduce the need for other tools like Snowflake.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Data classification is highly effective due to its automatic capabilities."

"BigID offers different scan types for data discovery. The most powerful one is the full scan, which scans both data and metadata. However, the metadata scan is faster in comparison."

"One of the most valuable things in a data-focused world is a tool, a technology that's data-centric, not trying to master data management or whatever else. It's a source of truth for what data an organization holds, giving it the ability to catalog, categorize, and understand its data."

"It provides a unified view across different databases and supports a wide range of data source types, including cloud and on-premises systems."

"BigID has one of the best technical support teams."

"BigID is more advanced than Microsoft Purview when it comes to machine learning and AI development tools."

"The most valuable feature of BigID is its large number of classifiers, which allow us to scan for specific data such as SSN numbers."

"The tool's most valuable feature is correlation. Using BigID's data classification capabilities has strengthened our data security. It lets me classify and connect data, which helps me manage data at various classification levels."

More BigID pros

"The process mapping is a good tool. We have a nice view of their data."

"It's very scalable. I would rate it ten out of ten for scalability."

"The automated way of identifying and classifying personal information is very beneficial."

"I would recommend Securiti to others with challenges like obtaining human resources for timely classification."

"Data discovery is a fantastic product."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Their data discovery is a fantastic product."

"The drag-and-drop features make Securiti easy to use, even for individuals who are not tech-savvy."

More Securiti pros

Cons

"BigID is expensive. I prefer McAfee."

"Improvement could be made in data consent management and data privacy impact assessment."

"I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management."

"The tool currently lacks security features."

"One concern I have with BigID is regarding certain scans, like the multi-scan. The issue is that we can stop and retrieve these scans, but once they start, they go through an enumeration process."

"BigID needs improvement in terms of automation."

"I want them to focus on data mapping, assessment, automation workflow, and privacy incident management. The privacy tools have not been widely used, and they have not invested much in privacy code privacy tools."

"In terms of what could be improved, when you're looking in a BigID file, you cannot really get the whole file. You have to export it to download it to another platform that allows you to completely view it, or run a program. That was one of the things that was really a disappointing point for me. Not to be able to view everything. There's a lot more data, but you can't get it all at once."

More BigID cons

"It's not very fast, and it's difficult to get an answer."

"The scalability of Securiti is not high because we have to customize the solution. It is very complicated to scale, so it needs improvement."

"Technical support can be hit or miss. Some technical staff are great, but others are not very effective. On average, I would rate the technical support four out of ten."

"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."

"One limitation of Securiti is that it can only classify about 30% to 40% of my data."

"Fraud prevention could be improved. If a criminal accesses my system and obtains my information, they might commit fraud."

"While the software is functionally robust and intuitive, there is a challenging learning curve."

"I would like their workflows and assessment automation to be more advanced compared to their competitors, especially under the pro core privacy module."

More Securiti cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive, but so are all competitor tools"

"The solution is not licensed per user but rather based on capacity. For instance, organizations with large amounts of data, such as 50 GB or more, are the ones that typically qualify for BigID."

"I think that BigID's pricing is very reasonable."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing depends. If you have thousands of data sources to connect and manage, and you struggled with an MDM package in the past, you'll find BigID valuable and even cheap. But if you're a small business, it's probably not the right tool for you."
