Netwrix Data Classification Reviews
"Powerful with easy settings."
Overall: 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.
"Netwrix eases SOC2 and reporting pain"
Overall: Netwrix Data Classification was easy to understand, set up, and use.
Pros: Netwrix provides timely reports on changes in my environment that may be indications of unwanted activity. Netwrix also made data classification easy. Netwrix also allows me to investigate changes made by others for repudiation or break/fix activity.
Cons: Setup and reporting can be a little clunky to learn, but does make sense once familiarity with the system is achieved.
"Mid size organization "
Overall: Great product Netwrix offers. Data classification is one of them. It is easy to deploy and easy to setup alerts.
Pros: After deployment it will become your eyes on your environment. You will be able to track all changes and get alerted real time. This is a dependable product to use.
Cons: Changing credentials to your sources will become a headache if you have big network. You have to do them one by one.
"Powerful tool to classify data types and sensitive information on your network"
Overall: 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.
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.
"Powerful and highly customizable"
Overall: It's great having the ability to get a high level view of what we have.
Pros: Love the predefined categories. They covered all the stuff we were looking for. Also love that I can customize to classify non-standard categories too.
Cons: It's not intuitive to look through the categorized data at first, but once you get the hang of it, the organization works well.
