AdAudit tracks events on your network in real time.

I use ADAudit Plus to monitor attempts to access administrative accounts and notify via email. It also helps troubleshoot accounts that are continuously locked out and other anomalies on the network. It's great for monitoring who is accessing files from our file servers as well as our QNAP NAS. Any time an admin makes a change to Group Policy, I'm notified via the change was made, by whom, and what specifically was altered.

It allows me to sleep better at night, knowing this monitoring tool is watching my network. I can see which account made changes to my network and what those changes are. We have about 7,000 user accounts on the network, which is a lot to monitor, but ADAudit helps to take some of that burden off my shoulders.

The length of sessions isn't that much help; many of the users leave their computers on overnight. Sessions renew through all hours of the night. However, knowing when a new OU has been created or deleted has been extremely helpful!

ADAudit helps me uncover blind spots; it's helped with our Cybersecurity insurance policy. The reports are highly customizable and the visuals make it easy to decipher audits.
