Netwrix Auditor enhances IT change management processes by providing an overview of all admin activities and specific user actions in the environment, enabling monitoring of critical functions down to each action taken. Netwrix Auditor has improved compliance and audit readiness by increasing the compliance level and providing dashboards to highlight critical areas. It helps protect you by alerting you about suspicious admin behaviors. The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor for identifying and responding to IT security threats are its ability to lock down file systems to minimize risks, detect malicious activity, synchronize data on-premises, enhance team productivity, and generate timely reports. The user behavior and blind spot analysis feature in Netwrix Auditor has benefited our organization by enabling us to quickly detect suspicious behaviors in our large environment of around 30,000 workstations and 400,000 users. The data classification and risk analysis feature in Netwrix Auditor has helped in our data protection efforts by leveraging our structured architecture to detect suspicious behavior promptly. It considers critical function criticality and user numbers to detect anomalies even after hours and on weekends. Before implementing Netwrix Auditor, I recommend focusing on security and leveraging its capabilities to monitor all admin activities effectively. You can rely on Netwrix for database activity monitoring, Active Directory, Exchange, file shares, and more. Additionally, consider integrating Netwrix Change Tracker for file integrity monitoring to enhance your security posture. As for installation, there are no complex prerequisites, but ensuring your network architecture is properly set up is important. Netwrix provides support and guidance to help with this aspect. Overall, I would rate Netwrix Auditor as a ten out of ten.
The most important part of using this solution is your data. You have to fulfill the compliance and data security requirements including GDPR. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten. The only reason why it isn't a ten is because there are other tool sets that can do everything natively without needing a bolt-on. If you're using G Suite, any other cloud-based platform for hosting your servers, or on-premises servers, it's a great solution. My advice is to evaluate at least a couple of different solutions to figure out what makes the most sense for you. With Microsoft Office 365, you can achieve similar if not better auditing and controllability of your dataset using the appropriate licensing. If you're managing it yourself and you're not familiar with the Microsoft Purview center or Security Center or effectively managing Azure 80, you're putting yourself at a very serious risk. By partnering with an organization like mine and allowing us to help you with your compliance management journey, you can meet the same exact audit goals using Microsoft 365 with E5 licensing or G5 licensing on the government side. It's about $38 per user, per month for that particular productivity license, which gives you the complete Office suite: Teams, Outlook, one terabyte per user, SharePoint, OneDrive, et cetera.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. I would recommend it because it's useful. If the person is a system administrator in a big environment with more than maybe 500 or 1,000 users, I really recommend it because it's impossible to monitor all the logs on Active Directory without it.
My advice to others is to make sure they spend the time to get to know this tool. I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Netwrix Auditor a ten out of ten.
