Netwrix Auditor Reviews

Netwrix Auditor allows me to monitor all admin activities, including user management and privilege access control. It also offers group policy management, integration flexibility, scalability for reporting, and compliance reports for standards like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and others.

The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor are its affordability compared to similar products and its comprehensive monitoring of admin activities. It can track every admin action in large environments and includes AI modules to detect and prevent unauthorized changes.

The solution is used for data classification by type, auditing access, and for the use of any type of data sets, from file server to SQL server.

It's used for compliance management, auditing, and tracking as a part of the CMMC regulations. For Department of Defense and supply chain organizations, CMMC is the new governing standard, which used to be for NIST 800-71. They're a set of controls and predefined methodologies for organizations to validate what they're doing to prevent bad guys from coming in and good data from going out, inadvertently or intentionally.

There are about 120 people on staff at a given time who use this solution and have access to class-controlled data.

We have evaluated Netwrix Auditor as a product solution to meet compliance management needs for an engagement we're working on. We're a Netwrix partner, and we're resellers.

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

It's a very solid software product that allows you to meet those needs. You simply install the agent and the server in the environment, and you can run the application. For the most part, it does the work for you. There are some classifications that you need to put in place. From there, it provides you with a single pane of glass to monitor, validate, and essentially audit use and data type classifications.

My primary use case for Netwrix Auditor is active directory auditing and file server. Active directories are a big benefit of Netwrix Auditor for system administrators. For example, with active directories, it is easy to change the group policy.

Netwrix Auditor's risk and other security assessments are also beneficial.

What I find the most valuable about Netwrix Auditor is the way it shows risk. The reports are very clear. It is very nice and easy for an experienced user. Netwrix Auditor is very simple and straightforward.

We use Netwrix Auditor to monitor the Active Directory. Specifically, we use it to understand where user accounts were locked out. We need to know who changed what, who joined it, if a computer in domain is the right name, and if it's the right organization unit to put in. It's very useful since we use it to manage 2,000 users. Without Netwrix, it's impossible to take control of things.

Every week, there is a report for all the logs for the week. It's like a summary that Netwrix offers. You can choose not only to monitor what is changing, but to monitor, for example, who is accessing a shared folder. For this kind of feature, another modification needs to change in the Activity Director and in the domain controller to enable some other event log in order to monitor that.

The biggest benefit I have seen is that it gives you full control and better monitoring.

We use the solution to monitor file servers, Active Directory passwords, expiration dates, etc. 

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

Netwrix is our compliance solution. It helps us understand exactly what is happening within our internal infrastructure. It is a proactive solution that provides an additional layer of security.

Netwrix provides features that no other solution on the market does.

We use this solution to monitor our whole IT environment.

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