Simplifies the task of managing groups and is affordable and easy to implement
I'd like to see it be able to do more than just groups. I'd like it to be able to do some things with email distribution lists as well. It can do that, but there were a few things that were limiting. It was difficult to get it set up, particularly with Azure in the cloud. I'd like that to be a little bit smoother. I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools. We've got a ton of groups, and it does take quite a while to do nightly processing. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

Validates every activity and helps to delegate access management
I use ManageEngine ADManager Plus for auditing.  The solution helps us with access delegation. It keeps our footprint in the Active Directory small, making it easier to watch over and secure. This is good for cybersecurity, helping us track changes and daily checks on who's doing what in our…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, the ability for us to customize the access privileges for the users, and integration with ServiceDesk Plus."
"The most valuable features of the solution are vulnerability management and system patching functionalities."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"Makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"Simple with good automation."
 

Cons

"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"Some things are not very intuitive."
"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."
"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"It is not expensive."
"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."
