A number of reports including an executive summary can be easily created. The product has a plethora of features including: - Checks for known weak passwords - Identifies password vulnerabilities such as compromised passwords and those users too - Checks which users haven’t changed their passwords since a certain date - Identifies where passwords are not required - Identifies expired passwords - Identifies existing password policies - Displays password policy usage - Clearly highlights password policy compliance - Will only read information from Active Directory - Does not store Active Directory Data nor does it allow changes to company’s AD > > **Cons**: There really was nothing to dislike. Everything in terms of our communication with them has been positive. > > It is has been fantastic from our initial and on-going conversations with the Account Manager and with their Technical department. They respond quickly and make themselves readily available for consultations and on-call meetings. ----- ### "Specops Password Auditor forever\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *26 April 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Specops Password Auditor is a must. Just deploy on your domain controller and download the database (it will take some time and create many files, so choose an empty directory as destination). Then the program will check all the domain user/administrators status, I mean not only if the password can be easily breached, but also if there are identical passwords, no password set, aged passwords, users that have no activity for a long time... and then you can download the lists in excel format or create a pdf. I highly recommend this program, you should run it regularly. > > **Cons**: The download of the database can take several minutes and create a lot of files > > Specops Password Auditor helps me a lot to keep my network safer, and fix possible vulnerabilities such as weak passwords, stale users... ----- ### "Easily see if we are in compliance." — 4.0/5 > **Paul** | *28 January 2020* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The scan is very quick and easy to read the results. Provides me a quick way to see how we are doing at complying with our password policy. > > **Cons**: Would like to view the consoles remotely via web browser. > > Specops Password Auditor provides a quick an easy method to get a view of how your organization is complying with company password policy. The drill downs allow me to view the information that is most important. ----- ### "Even if you dont go with the amazing SpecOps Password Policy this audit tool is a must\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *31 July 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use, can be loaded up instantly and provides real time up to date reports of whats going on within your enviroment regarding user passwords and user activity. > > **Cons**: For a free tool that provides a vast amount of information there are very little 'cons' I would only ask for improvements in the reporting area so the data could be filtered more but again these are more feature requests than cons. > > Amazing lightweight tool which can be installed and used within minutes, provides key security information on what your users are doing with there password decisions and also there inactivity. Creates actionable spreadsheets and pdf's so you can target the users who are using breached password or sharing passwords with others. ----- ### "Great product and easy to setup" — 5.0/5 > **Raza** | *7 January 2020* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: How easy it was to setup and how well it works , I have been using this for over two years and it makes my job so much easier and the time i get back not having to bother resetting password every day > > **Cons**: I have to say I have had any issues so far and I’m pretty luck not have had any major issues > > The specops Has been great and their service is good and the password are one of the biggest day to day things which all admin dread having to reset specially after long weekend or after users gets back from vacation and forgets all the time , ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/57890/specops-password-auditor?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/57890/specops-password-auditor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
