One area for improvement is the calculation engine. When applying rules in Varonis, especially for large datasets (terabytes of data), the calculations can be slow and require time to process. Speeding up this process would be beneficial. Additionally, although Varonis is considered an IAM tool, it also plays a role in data security. Introducing DLP (Data Loss Prevention) capabilities within Varonis would be a valuable addition. While there are ways to implement DLP within the platform, integrating it more tightly would provide greater flexibility for analysts to manage data, set restrictions, and define policies directly within Varonis.
The solution's areas of improvement are the interface and the dependency on on-premises deployment for some components. The interface has improved with the move to a SaaS model, but aspects could still be modernized. Additionally, some elements, like the data privilege module, still require on-premises deployment.
