Nira Reviews & Product Details

I've used a half dozen Google Drive file monitoring tools from Palo Alto Networks to Aperture, building custom tools internally based off the action log. None of them work nearly as fast as Nira. When you have hundreds of thousands of items, having a tool built for search is key. Nothing else on the market works like it.

Their UI is easy to understand, it puts easy controls in the hands of your users too to help them self-manage their own data. Often when we have to use tools like Nira it's in an emergency, so having coherent, easy to understand UI and UX is crucial to keeping calm under pressure.

A few months ago, my head of compliance was alerted to some google forms that had their results publicly shared. He asked if I could help find any other forms like that, and if there was any way to prevent it from happening again. On the same call, in less than 10 minutes we had found all the existing forms, remediated them, and created a new policy in nira to prevent any future user from making the same mistake.

The CS group at Nira is excellent, they're easy to connect with, and even when they don't have a solution they're quick to give you as much help as they can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MAny of their competitors also do full document search, this isn't yet a feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do you like to make your life easier? Then get this tool, there's nothing more frustrating than runaway items being shared left and right by company employees who sometimes just don't know better. This is the perfect tool to get it all under control.

The implementation/integration was so short and sweet, that it's like flipping a switch.

Their customer support is top-notch, and the representatives are always following up to ensure customer success.

It pretty much runs on its own, we basically use it daily 24/7 without having to think about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, I have not had any scenario that has made me dislike it in any way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Nira we have the ability to see who has access to any files in the environment and control that access. Gives us the ability to see a wholistic picture in a GUI. Not only does it provide the visablity but also provides us the ability to control those documents in mass or on an individual basis. The search functionaility to be able to find a document is better than anything that I have seen in a while. Also provides out of the box policies to see whats going on in the envorionment. The best example I can give of this that comes to mind is seeing what is publically shared and has a sensitive tag in the title of the document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I try to think of a dislike but when I hit one its not because of Nira but because of Google's lack of API support for something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am now able to align file access with the company's document retention policy effectively. This process is executed seamlessly in the background, managing thousands of files with precision. I extend my gratitude to the sales team and our success manager for their exceptional support. Engaging in discussions with these professionals is consistently a rewarding experience. Integration is also pretty much seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recommend enhancing the documentation and simplifying the user interface and user experience. Furthermore, I posit that the utility of Nira could be significantly increased through the implementation of a feature that allows for the reverting of changes. However, I suppose that this enhancement may present considerable challenges to execute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to gain detailed insights into the state of Google Drive file access permissions, which users have access to them, and what actions they may have taken is essential in a cloud-native environment where your document are one-click away from being public. You can then manage file access sprawl manually or using automations.

Users can also log in to Nira to easily view/audit file access permissions on files they own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are currently still some important limitations (currently due to limiations on the side of Google's API), such as the inability to modify permissions to files owned by deactivated users. Administrator roles are god-like, meaning you can't delegate admin access for a subset of documents/drives, or Nira functionality. As a result, due to the sensitivity of information, Nira is not something you can yet easily delegate within a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nira makes identifying and troubleshooting security/permissioning gaps in our google workspace as easy as a few clicks. I've been able to manage multiple high-level down-boardings without complete account deletion of personnel who had access to tens of thousands of documents and folders. With Nira we were able to scale back their access with ease and full visibility/traceability. It also made the handling of any unforeseen issues, like other people unexpectedly losing access to vital files/folders, seamless to correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing of note that I'd say I dislike. Occassionally when actions error out it can be difficult to troubleshoot exactly why they failed, but usually it is due to hierarchical permissions in Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have 498.000 files in Google Drive, it's a daunting task to keep track of everything that's been created and shared by our team. This file count only grows by the day alongside with my anxiety :)

Since we started using Nira I feel a lot better, it gave us a very quick way to create an inventory of these files and make sure the right people have access to them.

We integrated Nira into our onboarding/offboarding flows for employees and customer accounts and it allowed us to ensure that all the information has the right level of access and security.

Love this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really dislike anything. It would be great if there was even more automation of workflows, but what we've already got is infinitely better than our previous solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nira provided visibility into our productivity platform that we haven't had in years and it was eye opening to see what risks were right under our nose. Nira's ability to also take immediate action with little to no end user impact meant one less thing to lose sleep about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some features might not yet be available, but the customer ops and leadership team has been extremely transparent with their roadmap, and their willingness to re-prioritize based on customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is amazing how much I didn't know about the sharing habits of my users. Nira gives you immediate and essential insight into who has access to the companies assets on Google Drive. The most helpful part of Nira are the pre-built filters such as "Outside Access" for non-domain users and "Personal Access" for Gmail and Yahoo accounts, etc. It also does an incredibly accurate job of matching a company email to a personal email to see if employees are sharing docs to their personal accounts. This tool is indispensable for offboarding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The volume of options provided in the menu is a bit overwhelming. Even once I found something, I rarely could recreate it. They do provide the ability to save those searches but a "Basic" and "Advanced" menu might be more helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nira integrates seamlessly into your environment and within minutes, admins can gain important metrics and insights into their corporate documents. And the ability to take bulk actions on all documents within an organization to properly secure and protect them is a must have for any IT or Security professional.

The UI is quite powerful, and as such there are a lot of actions and filters available. One area for improvement, especially for new customers might be to have some pre-built actions and workflows that admins can quickly select and run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
