It provides an immediate, prioritized list of your most critical Active Directory security gaps for free. This tells you exactly what to fix first to stop attackers.

Key Upsides:

It's a free and extremely easy-to-use tool that quickly translates complex Active Directory risks into a clear, actionable report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
