Get instant insights into changes in Active Directory and Group Policy. Our free Active Directory auditing tool is fast, flexible, and built to boost efficiency.
Our Solution
Faster, smarter Active Directory monitoring
Changes can slip through Active Directory unnoticed — until it’s too late and a small change leads to big consequences. Manual tracking wastes time and leaves security gaps that put your data at risk. Our free Active Directory auditing tool shows you exactly what was changed, when, and where so you can spot issues faster and take action sooner.
Track Active Directory and GPO changes
Monitor logons and what AD and GPO objects were added, removed, or modified with full before-and-after values.
Automate daily AD change reports
Aggregate data within AD/GPO and get daily email reports detailing logons and changes in your domain.
Fine-tune data for better efficiency
Do more with meaningful data and clear, actionable insights on every change. Your IT team will thank you.
No expiration date or hidden fees
