Netwrix Auditor

Vorteile

The comprehensive auditing capabilities and real-time alerting system were the aspects I liked most about Netwrix Auditor. Additionally, the user-friendly interface and customizable reports were highly appreciated. The software's support for compliance requirements and easy deployment/integration were also significant advantages. Lastly, the knowledgeable customer support provided by Netwrix was another positive aspect that stood out to me.

Nachteile

Although Netwrix Auditor offers many valuable features, I found the initial setup process to be somewhat challenging. However, once I overcame that hurdle, the overall experience was positive.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Netwrix Auditor

Vorteile

Ease of use and it was recommended to me by other Bankers at local conferences.

Nachteile

Not available in a Linux appliance, would be nice if Netwrix come on a harden Linux appliance instead of running in Microsoft Windows/SQL.

Vorteile

I like the way that collects data and instant alerts of non-compliance

Nachteile

What they need to work most is the dashboard customization

Vorteile

Netwrix Auditor does what we need. The cost of the product is much less than the competition and that's a plus! The alerting is helpful, and the support we receive is efficient and great!

Nachteile

In my opinion, I feel like the app could be better on how the reports come up and how quickly the results show. As much as the interface is much more user friendly that other competitors, it can be a little confusing when trying to search and pull reports/activity records.

Vorteile

Netwrix is a great force-multiplier for our organization, allowing a small team to monitor an entire infrastructure with ease.

Nachteile

Initial implementation can be complex, but once it's working it's a set-it-and-forget-it solution. Support is great, however!

Vorteile

The simple, easy to read log, alert, subscription, and monitoring alerts. Very simple to send by emails.

Nachteile

I like least the lack of being a SIEM because the collected log information is very simple compared to other log software.

Vorteile

Netwrix provides a simple platform and ease of use.

Nachteile

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

The query's do take a little knowledge of possible options to get the best, most concise results.

I hope AI can be incorporated to Netwrix

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Searching through the data in Netwrix can be daunting until you learn the best way to formulate your queries.

The ability to get daily reports that are easy to read. When conducting search, there is no learning curve, you can simply use the software without needing prior exposure or training on it. The reports are very detail and concise. The daily email reports are great because you can see the health of your critical systems, a report of any group policy changes, SharePoint changes, file changes, etc. This makes audit and compliance a breeze and help with incident management.

Some logon reports can be difficult to comprehend especially when doing an ad hoc report of a logon activity of an account.

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

Nachteile

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.

This fits our need for CMMC compliance. It helps us be proactive at a much higher level.

Nachteile

There can be a delay in getting an alert.

Vorteile

the ability to customize all the reports

Nachteile

The user interface can be a bit overwhelming at first.

Vorteile

Netwrix Auditor does what it is supposed to do. It works as advertised.

I would very much like to see Netwrix Auditor be able to run as a service that is compatible with managed service accounts in Windows so it supports rolling strong passwords that don't have to be maintained by the IT staff.

I really liked the recordings of the rdp sessions because they allow us to see the actions that are carried out through them

At the beginning you have to understand its way of use to be able to create WHO, WHEN, WHERE and ACCESS searches.

The predefined reports that are provided and the simplistic dashboard.

A lot of the times it says users have failed logins attempts or read attempts, but when you click to see when or where it's coming from it says there is no data, after it says the opposite on the prior page.

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.

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.

Vorteile

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

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.

Nachteile

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