Lepide is easier to use than Varonis. Our reports and dashboards are far more intuitive and simpler, making them easier to understand and get value from. Our lightweight infrastructure means our reports run much faster.
Many of those that use Varonis note that the alerts suffer from latency of sometimes up to 12 hours. Lepide is near real time and has been proven to be more stable in larger, more complex environments.
If auditing group policy is one of your primary drivers, the reporting within Varonis for this area is very limited. Varonis also can’t tell you when sensitive files have been copied. Lepide can, and more!
The below table is based on publicly availably information and feedback from our customers (including customers that have come to us directly from Varonis).
