Park Armstrong - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful for real-time monitoring of AD and quick response to threats, but its configuration should be better
It seems to be scalable. We have three users who are using it. We don't have plans to increase its usage. It was sized right out of the gate, and at this point in the game, it is not growing. It is also not decreasing. It covers the whole enterprise.

"The monitoring and reporting are extensive and we get all the information we need while they continue to enhance the capabilities of the product."
"The solution has a component that monitors Active Directory through an agent. It also monitors end-user activity. It gives us insight into what's happening on file servers and in our domain or the directory."
 

Cons

"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."
"The solution should include more details on file creation and modification. It also needs to have a quick message for troubleshooting problems which needs to be detailed and generic."
"ADAudit Plus can be very tricky, especially if we need to do some high-availability configuration or distributed environment installation."
"The return on investment for ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is very hard to measure."
"Its configuration can be better. There were 44 pages of documented notes of what I had to do to get the product to work during the installation process."
"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."
"The tool needs to improve its UI and reporting. It can also consume the resources of old machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."
"My guess is that it was around $4,000 or $5,000 a year, and we bought a license, and then we have maintenance fees. I'm not 100% sure how that worked out."
"The tool is affordable, and our company is very happy with it. If ten is the most expensive and one is the least expensive, I rate the tool a three or four."
"Adding features and other functionality it costs you more. Also, the first installation costs an additional amount."
"It's a medium-priced solution."
"ADAudit Plus's pricing is affordable and flexible, with very low prices in the market."
"StealthINTERCEPT's pricing is reasonable."
