Netwrix Auditor Reviews

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. Having Netwrix reports and information has helped us greatly with client audits. Takes away some of the concern about activity in our systems as I'm alerted immediately or daily.

Still learning some settings and trying to find the time to dedicate to learn all of the information that is available to me.

The real time alerts, password expiration notifications and report features.

The interface can be improved. Need more admin training material and knowledge bases

Ease of use and interface. Preset auditing set up.

Database can be large and sometimes the KB are obsolete.

Very easy to implement and support is readily available online. Integrat with Microsoft products and Windows.

Linux machines can't be aduited with it and SAP is also not covered, only Microsoft softwares supoorted.

Has a versatile use for auditing and other tracking and reports.

Some things need to be bought in packs and you can buy them separate.

When the software works as advertised the information collection and reporting is far easier than attempting to extract the date from convoluted Microsoft logs using problematic scripts. The advertised data collection is extensive, and covers the most critical areas needed by a small business IT department with a limited staff. The active directory reporting is incredibly valuable and should be a mandatory for any business with or without a dedicated IT department.

Getting the data collection to work, and then keeping the data collection working is almost nothing short of an exercise in futility. The purpose of the software is to collect and report data, and yet Netwrix does not seem to hold back on making the process seem like a customer problem by providing numerous dead end resolutions. The lack of data collection troubleshooting tools does not go unnoticed.

I like how easy it is to deploy and upgrade. The new 9.0 interface is a great improvement over the previous version.

No cons were added to this review

Simplicity of the product. Pre canned reports. Alerting of various changes such as group memberships etc. API availability.

There are no simple options available to customize existing reports beyond the fields exposed in the console.

Gathers logs from all your servers, your AD, etc. The global search is very useful, and you can filter the results quickly. Alerts and daily reports allow you to spot anomalies quickly. The included utility to identify inactive accounts can also disable them to reduce attack surface.

Searching can be quite slow. Reports look good, but are many pages longer than necessary the way they're formatted.

Features is #1. Auditing should be flexible and usable. Reports are comprehensive and easy to use. RBAC plays a role with transparency.

Real time alerting is missing. Give people options to use agents. The upgrade made functional changes without being clear on the differences. All small things, but I'd ensure a change log exists and reviewable online. Maybe an RSS feed or blog?

This software makes it possible to track file access and changes.

There isn't really anything I don;t like about this software.

I like the comprehensive scope of the software's capabilities. It allows you to expand as your needs grow. The automated processing and reporting

No cons were added to this review

We use most of the functionality but it allows us to easily diagnose files that have "gone missing" due to user error.

Sometimes it takes awhile to return a query. Other than that I have no complaints.

it helps you with the various reports which helps you to track events in infra. able to record admin activity on server. alerts on some important events

Need more flexibility in terms of email alerts exclusion of specific systems from alerts. need real time dashboard atleast for domain changes which can be monitored on screen

Very Easy to Use More Reports than you could ever want Findings are as detailed or concise as you want them to be

Nothing really stands out to me for negatives. I've been happy with Netwrix.

This tool is Easy to use and configuration is easy. It is one of the best tools for change auditing.

The tool has Limited real time alerts functionality. Also it has Tedious filtering of events via files

Ease of use Reliability Licensing model works well for our needs

Support often is a lengthy process. Once reached they are helpful.

The functionality of the software is impressive for tracking active directory changes and modifications.

Some configuration challenges and support from an older version is lacking, but with reason as long as you keep the product updated, you shouldn't run into troubles. Just make sure to keep the product updated to keep along with all the products changes.

The level of compliance documents, The state-in-time documents and the amount of historical documents without a major drain of system resources. The daily email reports I could go on and on,

The user count limitations. Also if there was a way to report a list of devices and not just the activity on them that would be helpful.

An easy to understand, modern looking interface and sweet looking reports on a budget. Pretty easy to understand, and a lot of high level features. Great customer support and configuration assistance. Highly recommend the Jump Start package.

Well, it doesn't have "In the file" levels of changes that other (much) more expensive programs have. It can be difficult to whittle down the "noise" in Active Directory and other false positives, though thats an issue with all logging. A few of the settings are using confusing terms, but once trained it is understandable.

The automation is great. We love the videos of admin. The examiners love the reports and the history as well.

A little pricey to add seats and have to do it in groups or sets of end user client licenses. Will budget more next year.

Pretty straight forward to get on and use. I have several less technical individuals successfully on it.

Requires client install. Would be much easier for many of the auditors to use a web interface instead.

Its User Interface. Netwrix has a lot of built-in features that come right out of the box.

It needs a full time person to run the software.

I like the fact that the information is funnelled for you and placed in a easy to read reporting.

It was a little involved in setting up and didnt have as much guidance as I hoped, but once I reached out, it was set up quick.

Netwrix Auditor gives me opportunity to sort lots of information that are received from various channels. It is a very software. it became for me an important part of my job.

During our cooperation time i haven't noticed any negative. The only thing i think is unpleasant it that the software isn't quite easy to use. i need to train a lot to do job well.
