Netwrix Auditor Reviews

Ease of use, the free use of some tools is very good, they have a wide range of tools available.

Licensing cost for Auditor, charging for every person in AD is crazy expensive when you have 1000's of accounts.

I liked I could get reports on who made changes to everything on my domain. I knew when someone adjusted a group policy, created a user, or made a change in SQL.

We set this up to monitor employees only. We did not want to monitor students or service accounts because of the extra cost. The count on the user side showed 2000+ and we were not licensed. I opened a support ticket with the company and was told not to worry about it because it would just not monitor any user because of the license. I didn't like the answer, but it was still monitoring so much more. Then a year later I was hit with a huge bill because we had 2000+ people being monitored. We decided to just turn of the service.

The ability to audit and management multiple assets in the same umbrella.

Trouble shooting can be a little tricky and most of the time starts with reading KB articles.

I like how reliably it reports all Active Directory changes

Setting up permissions for file servers manually because our team didn't feel comfortable allowing Auditor setting perms automatically.

That it keeps a log of changes done on the network, specifically active directory.

There isn't much that I don't like about the product.

I like the fact that it does all the Auditing we need within our capacity of needing it. The password manager is super easy to use and set up and it does it perfectly.

When trying to configure audit reports, we can't deselect lockouts. So, if an account is locked out, and we have a weekly report, I will get about 25 pages of non-useful information such as user lockouts.

The reporting configuration was easy and the documents were well written. AD linking was easily configured for LDAP.

The dashboard is clunky and it is hard to see the auditing reports and other dashboard items.

Netwrix Auditor gives me unique insight into my environment. It catches and makes me aware of many things I don't have the manpower to catch on my own. It is an extremely useful tool.

Some of the reporting causes a excess in alerts.

The whole product does very well in my auditing needs. I mainly use AD side.

I have not had anything yet that I did not like about the product.

Integration with the Microsoft Active Directory and other products like IIS, SQL Server.

Price and renewals can cause budget issues

Easy to setup. Once it is setup and the notifications and reports are created (most of which are already there, just needed customizing) its pretty much set and forget it. Reports show up regularly and accurately.

For what i have used it for, I really didn't have any issues to complain about.

Its the best ever tool I have used. Love every piece of it

Nothing much. It is the best ever I have seen

The Reports we get every day for our monitoring plans

Some monitoring plans won't work or you need to do a workaround to make it to work.

Reporting features and functions of the reports

Ran out of disk space and memory and slow

Once you have it setup, it works flawlessly and can give deep insight into the activities of employees.

Reports can be a little confusing as to the structure and figuring out how to get the best data you are looking for. The biggest issue I have is it shows available reports from non-licensed Netwrix applications.

Great functionality, very reliable, user-friendly interface.

If anything it is a little TOO robust, a lot of data to sift through but not really a negative.

Logs on files and devices usage making us able to literal Audit certain issues

I would see some dashboards with relevant information at glance

The features we use it for are great, however that comes at a significant cost

Not sure we know the full functionality.

The premade templates provide great examples of what this tool is capable of.

Creating custom queries has a high learning curve.

I like how it has a security dashboard built in automatically.

Sometimes the connections break, and I'm not sure why.

I like that i can run custom reports on the fly.

The menus could be a little less complicated to navigate but still not bad

Very easy to set up and configure alerts

There is nothing I don't like about this product as of yet.

so much functionality, easy to use, good reporting features

nothing at this time. we just purchased so need more time to use
