Useful for vulnerability management but requires to improve the support offered

Speaking about the group management capabilities is something like discussing Active Directory. For the infrastructure, I am using another solution. I manage my entire infrastructure through JAMS Cloud. I would recommend the product to others 50 percent of the time, while I may not do so the other 50 percent. I would recommend that others go with Sophos. In terms of the value derived from the use of the product, I can say that it is possible if the working of the product is good. I don't get to use any AI features in ManageEngine. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

More ManageEngine ADManager Plus pros

"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."

"It would be nice if the solution offered some sort of brochure with some high-level information that would help sell it to management. If they had details around how much time it saves an engineer, for example, to show the ROI, it would be helpful."

"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."

"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."

"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."

"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."

"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."

"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."

More ManageEngine ADManager Plus cons

"The product's technical support services could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."

"It is not expensive."

"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."

"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."

"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."

"I downloaded the trial version, only."

"The tool's pricing is good."
