IT Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Efficient remote file access with robust security features and excellent support

I noticed a feature in competitors that requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for uploading and downloading files in the share folder, which adds an extra security layer. I haven't seen this implemented on FileCloud, and it would add a valuable advantage for security. Additionally, currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server. Expanding compatibility to other Linux distributions could be beneficial for users.

IT Technical Support Deputy General Manager at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Can track every admin action in large environments and includes AI modules to detect and prevent unauthorized changes

The initial setup of Netwrix Auditor was straightforward. Some functions require agents while others are agentless, simplifying implementation. It consumed minimal server and client resources, and the wizard-based console made it simple to deploy with the help of architectural teams. All required ports were in place, and they covered all critical services and databases effectively. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a nine out of ten. The deployment of Netwrix Auditor took around three weeks, mainly due to the preparation of the environment and servers. The deployment process involved actions such as preparing virtual servers and building databases. Once deployed, it took only about a week to complete. Third-party consultants assisted us with deployment. Only one or two engineers were needed for deployment and maintenance, which could be handled remotely with minimal complexity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."

"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature and notifications."

"The most valuable feature is the real-time monitoring."

"What I find the most valuable about Netwrix Auditor is the way it shows risk. The reports are very clear."

"It maintains audit logs for the duration of time that you wish, as long as you have the storage capacity to do so."

"I have found user behavior analysis and the ability to run risk assessments important features. Additionally, the interface and online documentation are very good."

"The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor are its affordability compared to similar products and its comprehensive monitoring of admin activities."

Cons

"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."

"There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality."
