Cons
"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.""This solution is not stable, it wasted my time.""Lacks sufficient integration with management tools.""Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities.""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.""Some things are not very intuitive.""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."

More ManageEngine ADManager Plus Cons →

"Configuring the solution with online services, like Microsoft Exchange Online, is difficult.""The GUI could be improved because this GUI was invented ten years ago, and now we have a modern user interface. This GUI is a bit older than expected in this market."
