I’ve been using this system for almost two years and it still works great! Cons Sometimes it’s hard to navigate through, but when I can’t find my way or need assistance, customer service is almost always helpful right away.

The greatest value I received from DSRAZOR is the support. They can write you a customized report for your specific needs. A great service and time saver! Pros The tool was simple to use and it pulls the necessary data required for my job. Cons The interface of DSRAZOR I thought could be more intuitive. Reasons for choosing DSRAZOR for Windows It met our Windows File Server reporting requirements and the cost of the product was attractive.

Assistant Technology Director Education Management ### "Exactly what we need" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 22, 2019 The overall "bang for the buck" is a really good deal. I plan to continue as a customer for the long haul. Pros With most software, if there is a feature I need or I need something changed to work better in our environment, I must submit a feature request and then hope it will be addressed, someday. However, anytime I need to do something that DSRAZOR doesn't quite do by default, I just submit a support request. Within a few hours, a freshly modified applet appears in my email, customized to our needs. Even though I have been a customer for years, I continue to be blown away by this amazing service. Cons The design tool is rather clunky. However, since DSRAZOR tech support will modify any applet to my specifications, this isn't a huge deal. I really wish the applets could be run off a web server. It is a bit cumbersome to have to distribute executable files to our users.

Systems Network Analyst Education Management ### "DSRazor" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 17, 2019 DSRazor has been an excellent tool for us. One example: When a user changes their name, Microsoft's interface was lacking in the process. I had Visual Click create a DSRazor Applet that for me that after I renamed an email address and updated the first/last names in ADUC, it would update the user's samAccountName, update the user's profile path and rename the profile folder on the network share to match their samAccountName. Without this, the profile path and folder would retain the user's previous user name. Pros The customer support is excellent. I have had made some difficult requests to support regarding the needs of organization has in order to make my life easier to manage Active Directory. Visual Click always finds a way to help me get my task completed with DSRazor. Cons The user interface is very basic and simple which may be a turn off to some users who would prefer a more pleasing look to their GUI.

Pros \- Works in environment right "out of the box" - Highly customizable - applets can be tailored and new applets written - Fast and responsive customer service Cons While customization of applets on your own is possible, it requires a great deal of knowledge.

DSRAZOR & CPTRAX help us to achieve that goal by use of comprehensive logging and alerting measures that can record even an ATTEMPT to access or make unauthorized changes. Pros The amount of data captured; every aspect of a change, delete or create to any file, folder, GPO or ADUC Object can be recorded. Cons The setup could be easier on the end-user. The learning curve isn't too bad, but requires some investment. Reasons for choosing DSRAZOR for Windows We have special CAT circumstances within the insurance industry that can require our environment to rapidly scale in systems and end-users. Due to these dynamic obligations to our insureds we needed to find a team able to appreciate those concerns and allow for flexibility. Instead of a buy here, pay here software shop their team invested the time to discuss our situation and found an adaptable solution to earn our business. We found a partner in DSRAZOR.
