Specops Password Auditor Reviews

I love the fact that Password Auditor can compare up to date hashes with those already stored on a customers Active Directory. A number of reports including an executive summary can be easily created.

The product has a plethora of features including:

- Checks for known weak passwords
- Identifies password vulnerabilities such as compromised passwords and those users too
- Checks which users haven’t changed their passwords since a certain date
- Identifies where passwords are not required
- Identifies expired passwords
- Identifies existing password policies
- Displays password policy usage
- Clearly highlights password policy compliance
- Will only read information from Active Directory
- Does not store Active Directory Data nor does it allow changes to company’s AD

There really was nothing to dislike. Everything in terms of our communication with them has been positive.

How easy it was to setup and how well it works , I have been using this for over two years and it makes my job so much easier and the time i get back not having to bother resetting password every day

I have to say I have had any issues so far and I’m pretty luck not have had any major issues

The scan is very quick and easy to read the results. Provides me a quick way to see how we are doing at complying with our password policy.

Would like to view the consoles remotely via web browser.

This is probably one of the best freeware tools available to review password policies,, compare and benchmark with others as well be able to audit the administration of password policy. It also helps generate reports that show weak passwords that are vulnerable as well as expired passwords and enhance password security.

The tool fulfills its functionality and hence there is really nothing that I really would like to call out as missing or poorly done. The one suggestion that I have though is to include underlying details to the summary information on the dashboard.

Documentation was good. Updates are dynamic, so no need to babysit the app. Really like that you can create custom black lists to prevent users from using words that AD or Google allow.

Nothing, it works as expected. We had to get some clarity on policies to meet our needs, but that was a simple email with support.

The software was very easue to bring into architecture and use. We could not have asked for a more seemless transition.

No issues of note. We are very happy with product.

Simple to use and navigate, for updating new password lists and separating different password categories.

There wasn't anything to say that's negative.

Being able to customize the dictionary is a huge need for our firm. We have many company specific terms and acronyms that we are able to block users from using. The auditor confirms our policies are being enforced.

So far, nothing. We've had no gray area when it comes to enforcement once we installed this product.

Ease of setup, it takes no time to get deployed and configured.

It would be nice if the blacklist check was included with the base product.

Easy to use and fast with detailed reports.

Nothing comes to mind, the software is good as is.

SpecOps Password Auditor is a great little tool for discovering weaknesses with users' passwords. It's great for a quick snapshot of your overall password and account health in AD.

There's not a lot to dislike. The product is pretty simple.

The solution provides everything we needed to support our password enforcement policy

Really nothing to say about the solution.

Has super useful features, like showing which users have the same password and which users have known compromised passwords. We are looking to remove forced password changes in our organization and this gives great insight into some of the adjustments that need to be made before that can be implemented.

Some of the better features are hidden behind a paywall but that is as expected for any product.

Custom words adding. It is easy and usefull.

Local invoice and process is important for us.

The wealth of information given from the tool was a great feature, especially the comparison of current policy to industry best practices.

I did not encounter any features or usability that was a negative for me.

The detailed report is a fantastic output. It incorporates all the necessary detail that I can provide this to our board of directors at our quarterly meetings for a snapshot on out attack surface

I'm finding it difficult to say anything negative about this!!!

The depth of showing how vulnerable some passwords were in our AD

nothing i disliked about the software to be honest
