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…

Has good pricing options and is easy to manage and deploy
It's pretty easy to manage, and quite easy to deploy. It's easy to understand to work, and customers also tell us that there are a lot of options even too many sometimes for them. Sometimes the product is even too big for them at the beginning. The product also has a good payload with pricing. That's why the customers choose this solution. The price and the quality and options have a good ratio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Simple with good automation."
"The most valuable feature was conducting the automation of our cloud and all services of the Active Directory."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me. This includes the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall."
"The product helps to validate every activity."
"It makes our job easier, especially for managing data for a bulk of users."
"The most valuable features of the solution are vulnerability management and system patching functionalities."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"It's pretty easy to manage, and quite easy to deploy."
"The solution can be used to audit the whole on-premises environment, including Active Directory, file servers, and other Microsoft services."
 

Cons

"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements can be introduced by making it available at a cheaper rate."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"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."
"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."
"Configuring the solution with online services, like Microsoft Exchange Online, is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"It is not expensive."
"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."

"The pricing of the solution is fine. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
