Optimizing time and effort through comprehensive auditing features

Netwrix Auditor doesn't have many competitors at the level in which it is placed. All other companies provide auditing solutions but not up to the feature list; it is very broad and robust. The best features include flexibility to interact directly with MS-SQL. Real-time alerts help identify potential security threats. The ability to streamline audits with insights into configuration states is helpful, as the access reviews and audit reports are really insightful. This is a good tool. The search functionality is available, but comparative to other vendors, this is a bit slower. Reports are effective; the compliance reports and all the reports are very insightful. That is good.

"The most valuable feature is the real-time monitoring."

"What I find the most valuable about Netwrix Auditor is the way it shows risk. The reports are very clear."

"I am impressed with the tool's reporting feature and notifications."

"I have found user behavior analysis and the ability to run risk assessments important features. Additionally, the interface and online documentation are very good."

"It maintains audit logs for the duration of time that you wish, as long as you have the storage capacity to do so."

"Netwrix Auditor doesn't have many competitors at the level in which it is placed; all other companies provide auditing solutions but not up to the feature list—it is very broad and robust."

"The most valuable features of Netwrix Auditor are its affordability compared to similar products and its comprehensive monitoring of admin activities."

"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."

"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."

"It is a scalable product."

"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."

"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."

Cons

"When there are issues I would like remediation to be in one place."

"In the UI, we have to adjust and resize our console many times, and sometimes it appears, sometimes you have to close and open it, and sometimes it does not give a scroll bar to navigate."

"The Linux compatibility of this solution could be improved."

"If you buy direct, there is a minimum of 150 licenses that must be procured. The price point and barrier of entry is a little bit higher than it would be if you purchased the solution from an authorized reseller partner, rather than buying it and managing yourself."

"There is room for improvements when it comes to the licensing."

"An improvement would be if there was an another way to manage the logs besides email because it's not so practical."

"There is room for improvement with the introduction of AI functionality."

"I expect usability features to become more refined over time. I'm interested to see how it evolves and continues to improve."

More Netwrix Auditor cons

"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."

"The product must improve its support."

"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."

"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."

"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."

"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."

"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."

"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."

"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
