Netwrix Auditor

A good product for the money

Comments: We have been quite happy with Netwrix and staff are starting to rely on it for detailed auditing.

Pros:

Netwrix Auditor is a good product that audits all of the items we need to audit. It will audit file servers, database server, Active Directory Servers, SharePoint servers and a whole lot more. We use it for all of these items and the price did not go up because we added more machine types.

Cons:

Netwrix can be a bit finicky at times. We have has it stop auditing a server because the configuration on the server was changed. It took a bit of work with support for them to realize that it shouldn't have stopped due to the configuration change and once they figured that out, they fixed the problem. Once we got the auditing to start, it picked up all of the items it missed while it wasn't auditing, so we lost nothing.

Netwrix Reiew

Comments: Netwrix continues to be a justified investment to our network security.

Pros:

Netwrix provides a simple platform and ease of use.

Cons:

If Netwrix could somehow speed up the processing of certain aspects for searching, that would be wonderful.

Netwrix auditor does what is needs to but watch out for hidden cost

Comments: Started off ok, but when the extra bill came and rude sales guy started in we were more than happy to turn this off. We moved to a fully managed SOC.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Alternatives Considered: DataPrivilege, SolarWinds Service Desk and ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Reasons for Switching to Netwrix Auditor: The cost of Netwrix was way lower than these, but turns out it was way more because of licenses.

Netwix Auditor Program is the best overall in features, performance and price despite it's stepback.

Comments: Using Netwrix Auditor is good overall, and I can recommend it to be a valuable product that would save you much time in monitoring your server, treats, alerts and reports.

Pros:

Netwrix Auditor is one of the best preforming program overall, it is user friendly and easy to understand and it is advance in treat detection and aid in our IT overall protection.It has numerous upscaling features that make it stand out above other similar products.It is inexpensive and will give you value for your money.

Cons:

I realized that it is not easy to use, more time would require to understand how to set it up properly.when running, it show error sometimes that is not understandable.

Cost efficient and gets the same job done

Pros:

Easy to setup, use, and administrate. Cheaper than competitors and plenty of tie-in products offered.

Cons:

Could be a bit quicker - despite plenty of resources assigned, it can be a bit slow to run searches. I wish there was some capability to deduplicate alerts / get alerts on real-time abnormal activites.
