Netwrix Auditor

Web-based

Windows

System Adminsitrator

It gives us errors but doesn't explain exactly what the error is so we can fix it, it tracks windows 10 but has trouble tracking Windows 7 updates.

Director of Enterprise Services

I must also give kudos to the Netwrix helpdesk, as there are very knowledgeable and have assisted successfully on numerous occasions.

IT Manager

I like that I have can a "one-stop shop" for all my auditing needs. Very easy to use and the support folks are great.

Some of the plugins are hard to use. I have a hard time figuring out what is causing errors sometimes when it runs its nightly scans of my systems.

Manager IT Security

Easy to use interface, daily/weekly reporting on important Active Directory events, Real-time alerting, real-time forensics with the intelligent search feature.

IT Senior Systems Engineer

The cost of the product is much less than the competition and that's a plus. The alerting is helpful, and the support we receive is efficient and great.

IT Technical Support Specialist

Overall my experience has been good. It has helped save our bacon.

Deputy Manager

Powerful integration with AD, In-depth analysis and reporting capability. Configuration Management with respect to Network Devices.

Provides critical reporting on changes in the network. Customer support is outstanding.

Missing some real-time features and alerts. Difficult to Integrate with other auditing software.

The thing I most dislike about the tool is it's not very intuitive.

Director of Internal Audit

The user interface is very clean, user-friendly, intuitive, and snappy. The software comes with a lot of explanations for the built-in reports to help users understand what the report is used for.

Senior Systems Engineer

Netwrix Auditor was easy to deploy and you can very quickly gain deep insights into what is occurring in your environment.

Easy to install and within the various reports and settings. The single server and well-integrated platform is robust.

DEPUTT MANAGER ICT 

Overall great experience and we are using it on daily basis.

Probably The Best Tool For AD Auditing You Will Find.

Overall Netwrix Auditor is an ideal software for sorting information, so that the information would be affordable for use.

IT Director of Client Services

Easy to use and setup, support is great and very responsive. Cost was a huge factor but I do not feel that we lost any capability by choosing Netwrix over other solutions.

Puppet Enterprise

Software Engineer

What I like about this software is that it keeps everything perfect and in its place, plus I can control the changes that are needed for my business to grow.

It is a productive tool which helps in automation and setting the IT infrastructure. It also helps us in adopting the DevOps practice like version control, code review, testing and in integration.

They are always open to help and are very communicative. Plus it is very easy to use and track the changes that were made about anything.

System Engineer

Puppet is a good product to eliminate repeated works, such as pushing the same configuration across multiple systems.

Sr. Enterprise Storage Engineer / Architect

Poor - due to the custom Ruby coding (engineering level expertise required) it just doesn't scale for our enterprise.

Furthermore, you should be very careful when selecting the community, because it is hard to switch from one to another. Another thing that I dislike is their dashboard.

It is also a bit hard to learn the software because it uses Ruby language which means you need to have some Ruby knowledge.

Even though there are no obvious issues with puppet, here are a few. The dashboard is not available.
