ManageEngine ADManager Plus vs. SecurID

ManageEngine ADManager Plus is doing good in lot of areas and making things easy for admins that take care of Ad related works. It is helping us to create users in bulk rather than following one by one step in active directory. Apart from the user creation, we can modify users in bulk without going to one by one in their profile. We can manage user account from here like account update, some modification, password related issues, and mailbox update. This tool is good but it has some drawbacks like we have 2 domains in our company but we cannot edit or modify users for both domains in a single attempt. We cannot change in password settings for both domains in single selection.

Easy to implement and support. Flexible platforms and user-friendly interface. Not a lot of customization is available to customers and response time of support could be better. There are now competing products that utilize new features like facial recognition. Using camera and fingerprint sensors are becoming standard in smartphones so RSA SecureID should offer those as options.

• Bulk user creating/de-provisioning user, all bulk operations
• Reporting on many items, group membership, password expiration, etc.
• Works well with active directory and Google integration.
• Easy to use interface.
• Mobile app.

• RSA Authentication Manager is easy to deploy and configure.
• It is a scalable solution meant for a large enterprise.
• Some of the key features of RSA Authentication Manager where it particularly does well are provisioning, mapping, and logging.
• It has a very nice console with good administrative and troubleshooting options.
• Reliable security for VPN, applications, and wifi.

• The standard version is useless for a larger company. Most have the Professional level to get the most out of the application but it is worth the cost.
• Needs better integration with Office 365 and Microsoft Teams.

Incentivized

• Slow to provide updates to latest operating system versions.
• While the GUI is clean and easy to use, it does look very dated.
• There is not an option for a temporary code to log in. It would be nice for situations where you are at a remote site but don't have your device (laptop, phone, etc.) with you, as well as other situations.

We are very satfisfied with the software and when time permits, we hope to explore additional features we are not using. It has a lot of we ae not currently using due to staffing shortages.

Long story short, does the job. Can use company credentials to setup and access the account for SecurID. Easy to setup and implement. Doesn't have a high learning curve.

Incentivized

Without training, I have been able to create reports that I need and get the information I am looking for

Incentivized

Using it very frequently, it's important that its straight forward and I do not have to go through unnecessary hoops to achieve something seemingly simple. Can setup using the company credentials and do not have to setup up a separate account. Setup was fast and easy. GUI is very straight forward and quick.

Incentivized

Yes, it loads very quickly and moving between pages is very fast

Support for this software is not the greatest. If the software is not completely down, it can take up to a day to get a response back. However, once they do contact you they are friendly and helpful.

Incentivized

Their support for onboarding and set-up is quite good. The only issues we tend to have are obtaining new user devices. These need to be planned ahead of time.

My company already owned ADManager when I started with them. If I remember correctly, it was chosen because it is a fairly cheap tool and because we also use Manage Engine's Service Desk Plus application. ADManager's main competitor (in my eyes) would be PowerShell, now that I have become more proficient with scripting it is rare that I use ADManager except to create users using one of the templates we created. The standardization you get with the templates is really great, it could also be done using an XML file and PowerShell, but why fix what isn't broken?

Overall MS AAD is good but we have had a few too many reliability issues with the product that have lead to enterprise authentication outages over the last year. The Senior executives have a preference on Securid to be more reliable than MS AAD. SecurID does a better job in Integration for legacy on-premise applications for instance.

We are currently deploying on 1 department

They are able to demo the product and clearly explain use case scenario's and how to do things

Incentivized

• The software is licensed per tech, the pricing is pretty solid.
• Helpdesk tickets feel dramatically when we started using templates to create users
• Helps to keep the network secure by knowing which old user accounts to delete

Incentivized

• Implementing RSA SecurID has allowed us to help our clients understand we are committed to compliance.
• Implementing RSA SedcurID has, however, negatively impacted employee productivity. Employees need to be aware of the additional steps they need to take to authenticate to a protected system.
• RSA SecurID has helped us with our compliance audits.
