Can Lavawall replace Netwrix Auditor for file change monitoring?

Yes. Lavawall monitors on-premises file changes, SharePoint Online and OneDrive activity, 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.

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.
