  • Working principle

    The potential cost saving is calculated by comparing the cost of generating a report using native tools with the cost of generating a report using ADAudit Plus. While generating a change audit report using ADAudit Plus involves just a few clicks (post installation, which can be done in less than an hour), generating a report using native tools is a time-consuming process that involves at least the following two steps:

    1. Log aggregation:

    Event logs do not get replicated between computers. As a result, an organization's change audit trail is fragmented across multiple computers. So, IT admins have to configure Windows Event Forwarding (WEF) to read logs on any computer and forward the events they choose to one or more Windows Event Collector (WEC) servers.

    2. Change audit report generation:

    Each Windows change activity creates multiple events. In some cases, individual events provide limited information. In these cases, multiple events need to be correlated to get the full picture (before and after values of a GPO setting change, for example). Using the Event Viewer to glean information manually and then generate reports is a labor-intensive, if not an impossible, task. To resolve this, IT admins leverage PowerShell scripts to generate reports.

    Standard values for ADAudit Plus
    1. The average time taken to generate a report containing 1 billion data points using ADAudit Plus' DataEngine is .167 minutes (roughly 10 seconds).
  • Formulas used
    1. Amount spent generating change audit reports per year using native tools = (Average number of reports generated per day*Average time taken in minutes to generate a report using native tools/60)*Hourly pay given to an IT admin in USD*Average number of working days in a year
    2. Amount spent generating change audit reports per year using ADAudit Plus = (Average number of reports generated per day*Average time taken in minutes to generate a report using ADAudit Plus/60)*Hourly pay given to an IT admin in USD*Average number of working days in a year
    3. ROI = (Potential savings earned by deploying ADAudit Plus/Total amount spent on ADAudit Plus)*100
