Netwrix Auditor Reviews

Pros

The real-time alerts, password expiration notifications, and reporting features.

Cons

The interface could be improved. More admin training material and knowledge bases are needed.

Pros

This software allows tracking of file access and changes.

Cons

There's nothing I really dislike about this software.

Pros

Know what's happening in your environment.

Cons

The setup was a bit challenging, but once the software was running, it was great.

Pros

Gathers logs from all your servers, your AD, etc. The global search is very useful, and you can filter results quickly. Alerts and daily reports help you spot anomalies swiftly. The included utility to identify inactive accounts can also disable them to reduce the attack surface.

Cons

Searching can be quite slow. Reports look good but are often unnecessarily lengthy due to their formatting.

Pros

I like that the information is funneled and placed in an easy-to-read report.

Cons

The setup was a bit involved and lacked the guidance I hoped for, but once I reached out for help, it was set up quickly.

Pros

Networks offered and QuickStart helped us get up to speed quickly.

Cons

Not a true SIEM, but it offers great logging and excellent value.

Pros

Intuitive, reliable, and the licensing model works well for our needs.

Cons

Support can be a lengthy process, but once reached, they are very helpful.

Pros

As a smaller financial institution with limited staff, the automated reporting has been a great time-saver for reviewing various selected events. There are more than enough predefined reports to meet many of our oversight needs.

Cons

I have some issues understanding the licensing and when additional modules are needed. Someone with an IT administration or CIO background might understand it better.

Pros

I like the visibility I didn't have before. I was able to use it to clean up vulnerabilities we had.

Cons

Reports don't always work, and the search feature is inconsistent.

Pros

It's very easy to configure most of what you'll want to log directly out of the box. The parts that are a bit more confusing are easily handled by talking to support. This is overall a fantastic product and one that I've needed for years.

Cons

When you don't work with the setups regularly, it can be time-consuming to make changes or add/delete things. Since it mostly runs itself, I haven't touched the setup in months.

Pros

Simple to navigate interface and pre-configured auditing setup.

Cons

The database can become quite large, and occasionally the knowledge base articles are outdated.

Pros

Netwrix is incredibly simple to install and operate. It offers extensive reporting and notifications to keep you updated on changes in your environment, which is crucial for managing a small team.

Cons

I haven't encountered any significant drawbacks with this product.

Pros

The customizable daily reports have been extremely advantageous for our team. They enable us to prevent brute force attacks thanks to timely notifications.

Cons

The interface is somewhat awkward but still workable. Additionally, it could extract more information from server event logs.

Pros

Creating email templates for users is simple.

Cons

It's challenging to set up and isn't very ready-to-use.

Pros

Very intuitive with an abundance of reports. Findings can be as detailed or concise as needed.

Cons

I can't think of any notable negatives. I've been satisfied with Netwrix.

Pros

Easy to set up and distribute new monitoring reports.

Cons

Nothing specific comes to mind! It has been effective for most of our monitoring needs.
