Compare Delinea Server Suite vs. Quest Change Auditor

Effortlessly integrate various and intricate identities for Linux and Unix systems into Microsoft Active Directory, which helps in mitigating breach risks and limiting lateral movement through a dynamic, just-in-time privilege elevation approach. Enhanced features such as session recording, auditing, and compliance reports support thorough forensic investigations into privilege misuse. By centralizing the discovery, management, and user administration of Linux and UNIX environments, organizations can achieve swift identity consolidation within Active Directory. With the Server Suite, adhering to Privileged Access Management best practices becomes straightforward, leading to improved identity assurance and a considerably diminished attack surface, characterized by fewer identity silos, redundant identities, and local accounts. The management of privileged user and service accounts can be seamlessly handled from both Windows and Linux within Active Directory, employing just-in-time, finely-tuned access control through RBAC and our innovative Zones technology. Additionally, a comprehensive audit trail facilitates security evaluations, corrective measures, and compliance reporting, ensuring robust oversight of access and activities. This holistic approach not only streamlines identity management but also fortifies overall security posture.

Quest Change Auditor is a real-time security auditing and threat monitoring solution for Active Directory and broader hybrid Microsoft environments. It monitors configuration changes, administrator actions, user activity, authentication events, and other security-relevant changes across on-premises and cloud systems. Supported environments include Active Directory, Azure AD, Office 365, Windows Server, Exchange, SQL Server, network-attached storage, SharePoint, and OneDrive for Business. Change Auditor detects indicators of compromise and suspicious activity while monitoring lateral movement and post-breach actions across systems such as file servers, Exchange, and Office 365. Threat prevention capabilities can block attackers from modifying critical groups, Group Policy settings and links, sensitive mailboxes, or extracting the Active Directory database to obtain credentials. The platform also identifies common Kerberos authentication vulnerabilities associated with Golden Ticket and Pass-the-Ticket attacks. Normalized audit records convert system activity into readable who, what, when, where, and workstation information together with before-and-after values. Threat timelines and related-event searches help investigators understand how individual changes connect with other security activity across the Microsoft environment. Change Auditor can integrate detailed activity logs with SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, ArcSight, and QRadar and can generate reports supporting compliance requirements including GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, FISMA/NIST, and GLBA.
