"Incredible free auditing/monitoring tool. Indispensable tool for anyone who considers himself a competent Windows sysadmin."

Nedeljko Visnjic,

Spiceworks Community

Tired of manually sifting through mountains of logs or struggling with legacy IT auditing tools?

How much time do you spend poring through piles of cryptic log data trying to find out exactly what is happening in your critical systems? Are you frustrated trying to juggle multiple free tools that report on only the events in one particular system? With the free version of Netwrix Auditor, monitoring user activity across your entire environment is as easy as checking your mailbox.
"Thanks for the use of your freebie. It worked as you said it should."
