I am in the process of starting a project with Identity Finder Enterprise version here at the University of La Verne. I am installing the Windows server and running use cases to determine our best course to roll this out. Please contact me with specific questions or to query on my progress. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Currently, we use Cornell Spider, but I'm looking for something more powerful and consistent. It has been mentioned to me before to look into Identity Finder as a potential solution and it looks promising, but I was wondering if any of you had any hands-on experience with Identity Finder or if you could recommend a better or different product? I've contacted their sales department to give me some more information about specific questions I have, but I'll reiterate one question here in case any of you have hands-on experience. It seems like the product is primarily geared toward Windows environments, so I'm wondering how successful (if at all) it is at finding any true positives when scanning file extensions that aren't native to Windows. Of course, I'll reiterate that I'm definitely open-minded to other solutions beside Identity Finder if there is something better. Thanks, Richard A.
