"Netwrix for auditing an oracle Database"

5/5

What do you like best about Netwrix Auditor?

Netwrix is a tool that is easy to use, we use it to audit an Oracle Database, the difficult part is actually enabling Oracle Audit Trail because you need to change the parameter AUDIT_TRAIL to DB,Extended and decide what are the events that you actually want to audit. After you have the audit trail enabled in your oracle Database, installing and configuring Netwrix is simple and fast, the reports are very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netwrix Auditor?

The tool performance depends on the performance of the underlying system. If quering your audit table is slow on your database, Netwrix will be slow too. It does not put in cache the audit records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Netwrix Auditor:

If you will use Netwrix to audit an oracle database, first try to understand how the audit trail works for an Oracle DB. This works with unified auditing too, wich is a very cool feature Oracle release from 12c onwards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netwrix Auditor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Auditing mission critical databases that contain sensitive data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product, especially for the price (I mean *really* affordable for what it does)"

4/5

What do you like best about Netwrix Auditor?

Netwrix Auditor does things that I didn't know I wanted until it does it. That sounds like sales talk, I know, but I use it for the things I cannot get out of AD natively - things like "Did someone change the service password on me and that's why it can't log in?" or "Who the heck moved the share from the root folder of the drive to some other share, thereby 'losing' all our data?" Both of those things I have alerts for, so not only am I able to tell who did it, I know within minutes of it happening. I don't know how much else they can do as I haven't really done a deep dive into their offering but what I do use is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netwrix Auditor?

It's a bit harder to use than I'd like - I mean, I'm sure I could just read their how-to guide or something and be done but I tend to tinker, and it's not tinker-friendly. That said, I was up and running pretty quickly and didn't have many problems with setup. It also is a relatively resource-hungry, so don't install without at least 8G of RAM (although nowadays that's standard RAM minimums anyway) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Netwrix Auditor:

Try out their free stuff first if you don't want to put in the money immediately. And when you see how well their free stuff works, you'll see why this is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netwrix Auditor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives us notifications and monitor of AD and file servers, something that Windows does not do as well as it should. This resolves a host of issues that you probably didn't even know you had. And I am sure that it does a lot more than what I use it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best audit solution I have found for Active Directory"

5/5

What do you like best about Netwrix Auditor?

It is amazing how quick and easy it is to setup. It only took half a day to get Netwrix up and running and ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netwrix Auditor?

I have not found anything yet that I dislike Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netwrix Auditor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we started using Netwrix, we had no overview of changes in AD. We had found that users / groups had been changed for no reason and nobody knew who did what. Today we have a full perspective and know exactly what is happening. Also, netwrix is solving problems that we did not know we had by showing us things like failed activity trends and more Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product, easy to use & helps with GDPR compliance"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Netwrix Auditor?

Consolidates logs, easy to access reports on AD/file server changes. You are also able to set up alerts for account lockouts, failed logins and more. Netwrix can also help detect ransomware by reporting on bulk file changes (thankfully this isn't an issue for us). The application is easy to set up and navigate.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Netwrix Auditor?

Whilst the modular approach is great for price/budgeting, it's a shame you can't trial the different modules for 30/60/90 days before making a decision on which modules to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Netwrix Auditor:

Install Netwrix on it's own server and make sure you set up the reporting and alerts to get the most out of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Netwrix Auditor solving and how is that benefiting you?

Netwrix saves me time not having to go through continuous logs. I can just run reports on demand and review the scheduled reports. It also ensures helps to manage permissions and AD accounts. Netwrix saves me quite a bit of time on a weekly basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
