NetIQ is an enterprise software company based in Houston, Texas. NetIQ is owned by Micro Focus International.

The company’s flagship products include: NetIQ Access Manager, AppManager, Secure Configuration Manager, Sentinel and NetIQ Identity Manager.

History

NetIQ was founded by Ching-fa Hwang, Her-daw Che, Hon Wong, Ken Prayoon Cheng and Tom Kemp in September 1995. With an initial focus on performance-monitoring software, the company’s flagship product was AppManager.[1]

In July 1999, the company filed for IPO.[2] A merger with Mission Critical Software in February 2000 shifted the company to include systems management as well as performance.[2] In January 2001, NetIQ acquired Webtrends[3] — which they sold in 2005 to a private equity firm in order to solidify their focus on systems, security and performance management.[4]

In 2006, NetIQ was acquired by Attachmate.[5] After Attachmate acquired Novell in 2011,[6] NetIQ added identity and security products as well as data center and virtualization[7] to their offerings. It was the Attachmate acquisition that led to today’s alignment of NetIQ products into three categories: identity and access management, security management and data center management.[8]

In 2014, Attachmate merged with Micro Focus International.[9] The products were distributed by TriTech Distribution Limited in Hong Kong.[10]
