Know what's happening in your environment

My experience with Netwrix has been awesome. It is easy to start up and get going, but you can do an endless amount of things with it as your environment and/or your policies change.

It performs a multitude of different Auditing tasks for us, making PCI and SOX compliance much simpler.

Great alerting and customizing. We use it to send alerts for AD and Windows Fileshares. Each version has made it better and better.
