X-Ways
Investigator is a powerful investigation/document analysis/report
generation application for law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the private
sector. It runs under Windows. It was designed for investigators who are
specialized in areas such as accounting, building laws,
money laundering, corruption, homicide, child pornography, etc.,
also for investigative analysts, agents, attorneys, paralegals, prosecutors, internal and external auditors,
for the analysis part of computer forensics and electronic discovery.
X-Ways Investigator is based on
X-Ways Forensics and is a subset thereof. It's simplified user interface
offers much fewer technical options than WinHex and X-Ways Forensics, so that investigators can
better concentrate on
the matter at hand.
X-Ways
Investigator is part of a certain philosophy: Splitting up the
workload into preparatory work done by forensic computing specialists
(computer forensic examiners) with
X-Ways Forensics and investigative work done by investigators can be a pivotal change, greatly accelerate the forensic process and
improve its quality.
It reduces the computer specialists' workload by allowing the investigators to take over much earlier.

X-Ways Investigator comes at exactly
half the price of X-Ways Forensics, and considerable volume discount
for higher quantities is available. We recommend X-Ways Investigator
to organizations that also use X-Ways
Forensics, not necessarily as a stand-alone product! If before you buy you would like to know precisely how
the X-Ways Investigator user interface looks like and what it can
do, please enable the X-Ways Investigator GUI in the General
Options dialog window in X-Ways Forensics. The degree to which the
user interface is reduced and simplified is partially customizable.
X-Ways Investigator does not come with its own manual and program
help, instead the manual and help of WinHex/X-Ways Forensics is
used.
