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.

We've been using NA for years and so far it's great.
Ease of use and interface. Preset auditing set up.
Database can be large and sometimes the KB are obsolete.

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.

The visibility on changes in Active Directory is incredibly valuable.
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.

Easily able to monitor changes to our AD environment
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.

Auditing our environment from a compliance and troubleshooting perspective is a real value add.
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 is helping us to be prepared for any audit that may come unexpectedly. I really appreciate the daily emailed reports as well.
This software makes it possible to track file access and changes.
There isn't really anything I don;t like about this software.

It easily allows me to identify who made changes to my data and records any changes to my AD that I need to be aware of.
I like the comprehensive scope of the software's capabilities. It allows you to expand as your needs grow. The automated processing and reporting

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.

Taking over this product from previous administration, left a bad impression of the product, having worked with the technical team to get the product up and running, has re-invested my confidence in the product.
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.

Insights into things we had never had before, and several advanced security items that saved us from spending more momney on a second product.
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.

Compliance mostly, but also managing engineers and having some insight on what is happening on the administration of the network that I am not directly involved with.
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.

We are able to get a far greater understanding of what id happening in our Active Directory environment. Makes us and the auditors much happier.
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.

Definitely great, made reporting easier that would otherwise be tedious to pull on own.
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.

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