Another similar tool is Symantec's Enterprise Security Manager (ESM).
We've had Bindview and ESM both in our environment for several years and
each has it's own specialties. We are also in the process of reviewing
CA's Policy Compliance in comparison to ESM. I personally like the
functionality of ESM better from what I've seen so far, but there are
quite a few things you can do with Bindview that ESM does not do.

There's similar software made by Ecora (Auditor) and CA (Policy
Compliance) that you can take a look at. We demoed the offerings from
NetIQ, BindView, Ecora, and CA in this area, and are in the process of
making a decision regarding which software to ultimately purchase. Each
one is good in it's own right, and does a very good job in auditing the
various aspects of LDAP Directories and servers. The main differences
we've found, besides price, are in the reporting and the detail of data
audited by the software, i.e. some will pull the membership in a group,
others will only pull information on the group itself. Good luck!!!

Greetings,

I'd like to hear about tools like BindView - BVControl and NetiQ - VSM /
FSA. Are there any other alternatives that people from the list
know/use?
