Powerful with easy settings.

On-time reports on alterations in my surroundings that could be signs of undesirable activities are provided by Netwrix. Furthermore, Netwrix made data categorization simple. I can check modifications made by others using Netwrix for repudiation.

Pros:

Once deployed, it will serve as your eyes for monitoring your surroundings. You'll be able to keep track of all changes and receive instant notifications. It is safe to use this product. They covered every topic we were interested in. I also appreciate that I can alter the categories to include non-standard ones.

Cons:

At first, browsing the classified data is not obvious, but after you get the feel of it, the arrangement is effective. If you have a large network, changing the credentials for your sources will become a hassle. You must complete each one separately.

Reasons for switching to Netwrix Data Classification

Netwrix Data Classification is a valuable and necessary tool for compliance and overall management

Overall, our experience has been wonderful. We use it in conjunction with Netwrix Auditor. Data Classification has allowed us to gain valuable drive space back by showing us "old" files that no longer need to be accessed daily, as well as helping us identify folders that may contain patient info and therefore require an audit of the security applied to them.

Pros:

It easily and accurately analyzes all of our file shares to identify files and folders that need to be archived and/or secured more in depth

Cons:

The only downside is that there are sometimes false positives due to DATE formatting can throw an exception as an example.

Powerful tool to classify data types and sensitive information on your network

It helps us to better find sensitive data spanning across our network within many different types of infrastructure / systems that hold our data. Very powerful tool.

Functionality

Pros:

Very powerful tool that is essential to understanding what type of data resides on your company's network and infrastructure.

Cons:

Integration was smooth, but there are a few "gotchas" that were missed the first time around surrounding SQL version options, and certain checkboxes such as OCR that if you didn't catch it during the initial setup that entire crawls would have to be redone. It is VERY VERY EXPENSIVE! The amount of data that is captured is honestly quite overwhelming. Some false positives are expected, but it would be nice if they could be better identified. After getting it setup, the remediation steps are still in the works after 2+ years.

Reasons for choosing Netwrix Data Classification

Seemed more fluid and vetted than the others. Very easy to understand the product setup process.
