It [SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)] is well suited for small to medium sized companies who want to enhance and ease up their daily work. As well as it is suited for organized structures, it has its problems with very complex environments. For example, if you are working with direct and multiple permissions instead of having more granular group based permissions.

SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)
- SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is easy to set up and configure. We had the first report generated in a few hours.
- The automated feature for the reports is great. We just set it and forget it and now the reports get emailed on schedule.

- Varonis logging is very robust and captures all audit events being sent from the file servers.
- The ability to report and alert on Active Directory account events works very well with file activity monitoring. It can show the complete picture of what an account did while being used.
- Have a customizable dashboard is great for being able to show upper management information that only pertains to them.

SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)
- Licensing model when we changed over to SolarWinds was [I feel] a nightmare. It needs to be more streamlined and SolarWinds needs to understand what their customers require. When we changed over to SolarWinds we found it very hard to get answers to what modules we were still licensed for.
- Our current system is not functioning. We can't login to the application with the accounts we created that were working. The error that appears doesn't help to resolve it. So at present we just renewed licenses for this year and we can't use the system.

- Implementation can be challenging in some areas and can only be executed by the vendor
- Implementation can only be executed by the vendor and additional work can be chargeable
- Licensing can be improved upon
- Agent based so implementation can be longer than expected

I wish the cost was a little bit lower and increase functionality and features would give it 10/10.

Very slow response times and sometimes I found the solution and ended up sharing it with support

Support has always been very responsive and addressed any issues we may have had in the past. Some local engineers are willing to come onsite or work over a web session to discuss creating a new rule set or look at some issues. Getting issues address has never been a problem. There was one feature we had trouble getting to function correctly, but support and local engineers were willing to work with us as much as needed to get it working correctly for our organization.

It was my first exposure to this type of product and I wasn’t given the time to figure out how best to implement it. I would say get a plan together of what you are tying to accomplish first

SolarWinds Access Rights Manager (ARM)
I found the installation and configuration to be much easier and more straightforward. What also assisted in the decision to go with Access Rights Manager, was the fact we already made use of Solarwinds products. Knowing from previous experiences with their support staff, meant we knew how great their after-hours support was whenever we had any technical issues with the platform. We felt it would be better to keep it all under one roof so to speak

Actually, we didn't expend much time evaluating other file auditing platforms. We chose Varonis just after a serious incident and we had already heard about Varonis at a Netapp event. So it was an easy choice. We called Varonis and asked them for a PoC, that's it. The PoC became a production and it is running until this day.

- The positive ROI has been in time spent now vs. pre Varonis tracking down permissions and access to folders in a share environment
- The built in policy rules were very helpful after learning how to properly apply them
- Quick snapshot into our sensitive data repositories has been a major win for our Security team
