Absolutely love it. It has helped me remediate authentication issues and file governance. Very easy to install and initially set up.

Very granular data collection and monitoring. Really love how easy it is to use once the queries are st up.

Queries are sometimes a bit complicated to set up. Software as a whole requires a huge amount of VM resources.

We have really enjoyed having StealthAUDIT at Answer Financial. The product is regularly being updated and expanded, the support has been perfect, and the company is really good about communication (both in telling us what they are working on and taking feedback from their users).

The built in reports, scanning functionalities, ability to do custom scripting, and the modularity are all major features that make StealthAUDIT appealing.

Though it can scan and report on a lot of different types of systems, it is very limited in what can be imported into the access audit side of the software for owner approvals.

The experience is more user friendly than Varonis and less user friendly than Netwrix. Regardless, I see no point in buying audit software that is not accurate.

StealthAudit was the only product we tested that was 100% accurate on file activity and could retain the audit data. (Methodology: create 100 files. Access the 100 files. Edit the 100 files. Delete the 100 files. Verify that creation, reads, edits, and deletions were all logged. We did this test with both text files and MS Word files as the way Office edits files is weird.) Another well-known product only logged 40% of the file activity, even after spending *weeks* with support and sales engineers to fix the issue. At one point, an engineer blamed Windows for not logging the data, and refused to look at the event log with me where I could see that Windows was logging 100% of the file activity. Whatever you buy, please verify that it works reliably before you buy it.

Perhaps this has changed since we installed it, but the activity tracking console requires Silverlight to run, forcing me in IE rather than a current browser. It's also slow. It has crashed twice without any notification, causing me to lose all metadata between the time it crashed and the time I caught the crashes. I now know to constantly monitor the system to minimize audit data loss. This is why I describe it "adequate" rather than exceptional even when it was the only tested software that fulfilled its mission.

StealthAUDIT works plain and simple. It is quick responding, the AIC has everything that we need, easy to deploy and update, no fat client for our users all web based. We did an extensive POC/POV with StealthAUDIT and we were surprised the amount of data StealthAUDIT found over Varonis DatAdvantage using the same credentials and the same permissions as what Varonis was using. We scanned 5 NetApp filers and we ended up finding over 60 million more folders on those filers over Varonis. When we scanned all of production we found over 1 billion more folders than what Varonis had found. That is a huge risk that we didn't even know we had.

The reporting function is very non user friendly unless if you know how to leverage SQL queries. I know they have ability to leverage Tableau but not everyone has that option. This is the one item where we actually had to decide if making the switch from Varonis to StealthAUDIT was a good idea or not. In the end we made the switch and we have become more proficient in report writing but we still need a reporting tool that is more user friendly.

We implemented StealthAUDIT for data governance and management of unstructured data in shared folders. We have been able to identify open shares/folders and restrict access appropriately. We are able to monitor activity on file shares. The process is helping to identify data stewards and holding them responsible for the data they own. We know where sensitive data resides and then delete it if no longer needed or we can ensure access is restricted.

StealthAUDIT provides a lot of information about our Active Directory and Filesystem via numerous reports that give you an overall picture, recent changes, and situations that may need to be investigated and remediated. Finding sensitive data works well, although it does take some tweaking of criteria to reduce false positives. The system was fairly easy to set up with a dedicated technical implementation team that was responsive to questions and issues. The support team is very responsive.

It took some time to get a handle on the scheduling of processing for our needs. Some of the jobs can run quite long and you need to be aware of contention between jobs as things can get backed up or cause SQL database logs to grow quickly. While there is a lot of documentation available, sometimes it is a challenge to find the information you need. More comprehensive initial training could be helpful to get new admins going quickly.

Wit really helps with LPA, and ensure our users have the appropriate access. It also has great security reporting tools.

The ability to see data and statistics about any user through an easy GUI. The support is top notch, stealth consistently reaches out to my teams to ensure we’re supported and using the product appropriately.

It can be cumbersome to configure and setup.

Overall we have had a good experience with this software. The support team is friendly and efficient and resolves issues when they occur.

This software can provide great insight into what is going on with the systems it is monitoring. We have appreciated the ability to track who modified what in AD and files systems. It is a great forensic tool.

We have had a number of times where it stops processing the changes and the database fills up with unprocessed data until the database stops responding because it is too full.

So far it has been good for us, it has allowed me to identify alot of issues with Active Directory. We had bad practices in years prior that has created many security holes. With StealthAUDIT we are fixing these issues while developing best practices for managing Active Directory.

How easy it is to customize the reports that are generated by the queries.

Theres no way for you to know if the scheduled jobs are failing unless you do a manual check. Also don't like that the older versions just query the event logs but if you want the SAM for new versions you have to purchase additional licensing. The agents should come with whatever regular licensing you purchase.

We use StealthAUDIT to provide data insight into our Active Directory environments, in order to maintain our security posture at a high level.

Best thing about StealthAUDIT is that it allows you to acquire data in almost whatever manner you are most comfortable with, and then allows you to do useful things with it.

The UI is dated, the capabilities are poorly documented, and it's not easy to clear out no longer useful data.

I am happy with StealthAudit. We chose it over other reporting apps we evaluated. it fills our needs and is low maintenance once you get it setup and running.

The reporting is VERY customizable. With the help of technical support, you can get a report for what every your needs are. Support is top notch! These guys know their stuff!

The software can be complex when trying to setup your own custom reports. I rely on support a lot, but those guys are a great help. I think a good training class or classes would help customers get more out of the product.

Very trusted platform. It helps us meet external audit requests.

The platform is feature rich. We use it to protect AD, MS Exchange, File server & SharePoint Online. It is used as data governance tool to secure sensitive data & enforce least-privileged access control

I would have liked wizard driven configuration setup.

Great team supporting this software, they continually improve on the features and functionality of the software.

Software has the best support and customer service, anytime you need to know more of the product or get some functionality added the support team goes above and beyond to support their end users.

There is a little bit of a learning curve initially with the software but the support team is great in getting end user education along with supporting the end user.

We are still in the beginning stages, but so far it has been working great. We have only ran into minor issues at this time.

Cuts out the manual burden of doing it on a user by user basis

When setting up a report and or job it does not tell you the format for certain fields. Ex: Domain\ vs Username@domain vs. just username. Can cause issues when executing tasks.

The reporting was of high value and it allowed for a high level of customization.

The installation and setup were difficult and we ran into many issue initially.
