AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that BigID excels in "Sensitive Data Discovery" with a score of 9.2, highlighting its ability to efficiently identify and manage sensitive information across various data sources. In contrast, Varonis Data Security Platform also performs well in this area but scores slightly lower at 9.2, indicating a strong but less specialized capability.
- Reviewers mention that Varonis shines in "Quality of Support," achieving a score of 9.5, which users attribute to responsive customer service and comprehensive documentation. BigID, while also providing good support with a score of 8.6, does not match the level of service reported by Varonis users.
- G2 users highlight BigID's "Data Lineage" feature, scoring 8.3, as a strong point, allowing organizations to track data flow and transformations effectively. Varonis, however, has a more robust offering in "Data Governance and Access Management," scoring 8.9, which users appreciate for its comprehensive access controls and policy enforcement capabilities.
- Users on G2 report that Varonis excels in "Real-time Monitoring" with a score of 9.7, which is crucial for organizations needing immediate insights into data activities. BigID, while offering solid monitoring features, does not provide the same level of immediacy and detail as Varonis.
- Reviewers mention that BigID's "Data Masking" feature, scoring 8.7, is particularly effective for organizations looking to protect sensitive data while maintaining usability. Varonis also offers data masking but does not receive the same level of praise for this feature, indicating a potential area for improvement.
- Users say that Varonis's "Compliance Monitoring" feature, scoring 9.7, is highly regarded for its ability to ensure adherence to data protection regulations, which is a critical aspect for enterprises. BigID, while compliant, does not have the same level of user satisfaction in this area, scoring lower at 8.5.

It's the best solution for a robust cookie manager in compliance with Data Laws, aimed to be easy to implement and use. And, it design is way better than most of the solutions, making the user experience on the site also a better one.

I want to alert potential customers about Illow.io’s deceptive practices, particularly regarding their recent offering on AppSumo. Initially, Illow.io advertised a "lifetime" deal, enticing numerous buyers with what appeared to be a fantastic offer....
