NetWrix SQL Server Change Reporter

SQL Server is a complex system that involves many different types of objects and requires almost daily changes to server configurations, security, databases, etc. It's very hard to keep track of changes and enforce fine-grained delegation rules for environments managed by multiple DBAs and operators. A hot topic today is compliance with government and industry regulations, which adds challenges to all types of IT infrastructures-especially SQL databases that store business-critical data and that support business applications.

Powered by AuditAssurance™ technology, NetWrix SQL Server Change Reporter audits and reports changes made to SQL Server configuration, databases, permissions, and other objects. The product tracks changes made to SQL server instances, databases, users, roles, logins, schema changes, and many other types of objects.

SQL Server Change Reporter can be used to:

• Monitor and review administrative changes on SQL servers and at database levels;
• Help you ensure compliance with regulatory and security requirements such as GLBA, SOX, HIPAA, and PCI through consistent auditing and reporting;
• Detect early all unauthorized and unwanted changes that can lead to server and database downtime.

The product can be installed separately, but also is available as a part of an integrated Change Reporter Suite that automates auditing of the entire IT infrastructure.

The product has Freeware and Enterprise editions. Please review the side-by-side comparison for more information.
