"We had an experience of successful use of the free version of software of Netwrix for monitoring of changes in the directory of the Active Directory resources, in settings group the politician and in the mail Microsoft Exchange system. Despite limitation of the free version of Netwrix Auditor on functionality, we received quite big cut of changes.

Result

The software monitors changes in main systems and applications, preventing failures in work of IT infrastructure and data loss.

"The project exceeded our expectations, we received much more, than planned. We can control not only the Active Directory and MS Exchange, but also changes in storage systems, on file servers, in operating systems, in the system of virtualization Vmware vSphere 5.5. Under our conditions, the situation when we issue virtual servers to engineers of IT from other departments of our Directorate of IT, for example to programmers or integrators often repeats. When there is any failure, we study changes according to the report that considerably facilitates search of the reasons of this failure or malfunctions in work of systems. Besides, after Netwrix Auditor implementation, we solved a problem of automatic blocking of outdated accounts and implemented process of regular change of passwords of users", - Sergey Aleksandrovich Berezhnaya, the Head of department of servers, DWH and comments network solutions, on JSC Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port.

"Our system administrators of servers, storage systems and network complained long ago about the fact that control of crucial changes in IT infrastructure is rather labor-consuming and quickly who in what system and what element changed not always allows to define. Thanks to Netwrix Auditor, engineers do not need to tell any more each other as where it was changed, it is enough to look at the report sent by e-mail and everything will become clear. In general, we are very happy with software of Netwrix and we will continue thin setup and under problems of information security. For example, we configured audit of change at the workstations entering category of the increased protection", - Andrey Aleksandrovich Karitsky, PME, MBA CIO, the Director of Directorate of the Information technology of JSC NMTP concluded.
