Lepide Auditor review
A Microsoft-focused auditor for file activity, permissions, compliance, and response.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lepide Auditor is an IT auditing and change-reporting product for organizations monitoring file servers, directories, cloud platforms, and related systems. It records file and folder creation, access, modification, copying, and deletion, then combines real-time alerts with customizable and pre-defined audit reports. Its audience is primarily Microsoft-heavy security, compliance, and infrastructure teams working across on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments.
The published plans show three tiers. Core includes detailed interactive audit reports, real-time alerts and threat-response workflows through Lepide Detect, and permissions analysis with excessive-privilege detection through Lepide Trust. Plus includes Core and adds Lepide Identify for data discovery, data-related reporting, and alerts. Advanced includes Plus and adds permissions remediation through Lepide Protect and inactive-user remediation. Licensing is quote-based and priced per user, per year, per supported platform. A 20-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
Platform coverage is a major reason to consider Lepide Auditor. It supports Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, Windows File Server, Exchange, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, SQL Server, NetApp, Dell EMC, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Nasuni, and Nutanix, with web, iOS, Android, and self-hosted deployment options. Agentless monitoring, configuration checks, compliance reporting, automated response using custom scripts and workflows, and mobile alerts extend the product beyond basic file-change tracking. Choose it when Microsoft auditing, permissions visibility, suspicious bulk-activity detection, and compliance reporting need to work across a mixed environment. Organizations that prioritize transparent self-serve pricing or need data discovery and remediation without moving into higher tiers should consider alternatives.
