One of the best security solutions I ever used!
In security, to have a product which is so easy to use, not too expensive and to get all the information you ever wanted, I always thought that this doesn't exist, until our company didn't started to work with Netwrix.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
Reasons for Switching to Netwrix Auditor
I chose Netwrix Auditor over alternative products primarily because of its comprehensive auditing capabilities, real-time alerting system, and user-friendly interface. The software offered a robust solution that aligned well with my organization's needs.- Industry: Financial Services

Chief Information Officer
Used it for going on 5 years on an on-premise VM, works extremely well, low maintenance and the search functionality is much better than other vendors I've used in the past. It would be nice if it had functionality like AI to look for behavioral anomalies.
Pros
Ease of use and it was recommended to me by other Bankers at local conferences.
Cons
Not available in a Linux appliance, would be nice if Netwrix come on a harden Linux appliance instead of running in Microsoft Windows/SQL.

Netwrix does what we need
Pros
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!
Cons
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.

A great force-multiplier for your IT Org!
10/10, would use it again! The product is fantastic, and the support is excellent.
Pros
Netwrix is a great force-multiplier for our organization, allowing a small team to monitor an entire infrastructure with ease.
Cons
Initial implementation can be complex, but once it's working it's a set-it-and-forget-it solution. Support is great, however!

Great Product for Capturing Logs
Pros
The simple, easy to read log, alert, subscription, and monitoring alerts. Very simple to send by emails.

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

Comprehensive Review of Netwrix Auditor
My overall experience with Netwrix Auditor has been positive, mainly due to its robust auditing tools and reliable security features. However, the complexity of the software necessitated a longer-than-expected period of adaptation.
Pros
The best aspect of Netwrix Auditor is its detailed auditing capabilities. The platform provides deep visibility into user activities and system changes, which is invaluable for IT security and compliance. Its real-time alerts and detailed reports make monitoring network environments much easier.
Cons
The least appealing feature of Netwrix Auditor is its complexity and steep learning curve. New users may find the interface and multitude of features overwhelming, which can complicate the initial setup and daily operations.

I have had a positive experience with Netwrix Auditor. It may not have all the extras of other products, but it is a great value for the price and gives most sysadmins exactly what they need.
Pros
The simplicity of using it and how it doesn't require a lot of setup and configuration.
Cons
The query's do take a little knowledge of possible options to get the best, most concise results.

Powerful auditing but lacks modernization
Overall positive but we will not renew. The product needs a major overhaul to keep up
Pros
Tons of reports out of the box. Easy to install and deploy the agent. Support was great. Auditing was easy to pull back old data
Cons
No web interface, it requires a thick client to be installed. Limited RBAC. The whole interface needs updating

Netwrix Auditor Review
Overall, I'm satisfied with the product. It does what it needs to do in an orderly fashion.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
