The solution does not require improvements to meet our company's needs. In our company, we have figured out everything we need with the tool, and my company's support team has played a valuable role in helping us do so. There is nothing I can see that needs improvement in the tool. It is nice to know that ManageEngine looks at various areas in the product so that it doesn't become a security liability. Our company tracks all the NIST lists for common vulnerabilities, and I have never seen ManageEngine ADAudit Plus show up in any of them. I think it is a pretty secure product. Measuring the return on investment for a business that uses ManageEngine ADAudit Plus should be a process that must be made easier.
If ADAudit Plus could include reporting of non-Microsoft products; it would be a great enhancement. Otherwise, we only have a Microsoft-based environment. So, for us, it is up to the mark. But I don't see it fitting in very well with companies that have a hybrid environment. In future releases, I would appreciate better integration with Log360. There are a few things that ADAudit Plus can do, but LogRhythm cannot. So, I want them to have a common language or platform to display all these details on one page. Having a unified ecosystem rather than having to log in to multiple tools would be beneficial. It can be a single dashboard with all these details.

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.
The solution can be improved by including more templates and reports, especially for the locked and locked-out passwords and for locked-out users. It needs special attention to identify why specific users have been locked out.

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.
ADAudit Plus can be very tricky, especially if we need to do some high-availability configuration or distributed environment installation. They could improve this by making their documentation clearer. In the next release, ADAudit Plus should include tighter integration with QRadar because their standard syslog forwarding needs a lot of parsing and configuration on the QRadar SIEM system site, which requires a lot of manual work.

ADAudit could have a more sophisticated interface design. They are using a plain UI, which is decent. However, customers have said that it looks a little flat compared to other vendors. It's not fancy.
One problem with ADAudit is that it has too many configurations to apply to the active directory server, which makes it difficult to use. This could be improved by adding a feature that could automatically apply the right configuration.
The only improvement I can think of is that maybe they could improve a little on how easy it is to use. In my experience, it is very user-friendly in general terms but there are possibly even too many reports. There are so many reports that it can be a headache. If there was a way to customize reporting or a way to build customized views, this could simplify the navigation of the reports. If we can make our own views, that would be a fine enhancement. So that is what I would like to see in the next update: improvement on the organization and customization possibilities in the reporting feature.
