Improving auditing efficiency: Waha Capital's experience with ADAudit Plus

Business challenge:

Waha Capital had numerous activities happening in its AD environment around the clock, and it was hard to monitor all these changes manually. The company found it challenging to keep track of changes in its file servers, and it needed to audit and track file accesses and modifications across Windows, NetApp, and other storage devices.

The solution: ADAudit Plus

Waha Capital chose ADAudit Plus to monitor all the activities happening in its AD environment in real time.
