Can Lavawall replace Netwrix Auditor for file change monitoring?

Yes. Lavawall monitors on-premises file changes, SharePoint Online and OneDrive activity, and Active Directory and Microsoft 365 configuration changes, with actor attribution and external-sharing visibility.

How long does migration from Netwrix take?

Most environments run Lavawall in parallel within a day: deploy the agent, connect Microsoft 365, and mirror your existing Netwrix alerting before your renewal date.

What does Lavawall cost compared to Netwrix?

Lavawall is priced month-to-month per device/tenant with no high-water-mark billing and no multi-year lock-in. Most teams switching from a Netwrix renewal quote cut auditing costs significantly. Ask for a like-for-like comparison against your renewal.

Switching guide

Your Netwrix renewal quote shouldn't need a committee.

Lavawall® is a multi-tenant RMM and remote support platform for MSPs and IT teams, with patching, security monitoring, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace breach detection, and compliance built into the same agent and console. That includes file, SharePoint, AD, and Microsoft 365 change auditing on month-to-month terms with no high-water-mark billing, and real humans who help you migrate.

The migration path

1. Parallel run (day 1)

Deploy the Lavawall agent and connect Microsoft 365. Keep Netwrix running; nothing is uninstalled.

2. Mirror your alerts (week 1)

We map your existing Netwrix alerts and reports to Lavawall equivalents. ThreeShield does this with you on a working session, included.

3. Cut over before renewal

When every alert has an equivalent and your auditors have seen the reports, cancel the renewal. Month-to-month means you're never negotiating from weakness again.
