ManageEngine ADManager Plus

Reports are very helpful

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.

We mostly use this for user provisioning, it was easy to give HR access to the application while not opening up active directory. It's user interface simplifies the process.

We are a school district with over 6,000 students, it's easy to create a CSV file and mass update all students simultaneously.

I don't think this product would be useful for smaller organizations, you could simply run a powershell script to pull data from your domain controller.

Less suited: NOn-AD environments.

Suited: AD environments. Orgs that require a tool to help manage AD with not just reports but also being able to manage users within a Friendly UI.

ADManager is perfectly suited for reducing the human error in account creation. The templates I needed to create for this were easy and I was done within a couple of days. I am happy to sign that account creation errors has been near zero since the roll out of this application. I look forward to using more of its functionality

ADManager Plus is a great tool if you are doing a lot of changes in Active Directory. This tool gives you the ability to create templates for creating user accounts. With this feature, you can streamline the user onboarding process. If you are not having to make constant changes to AD this may not be the best tool for you.

ADManager is great for assisting your Active Directory support team with reports, bulk creation or modifications, and simple automations. It takes the PowerShell coding out of managing Active Directory and allows your team to build some automated tasks without needing to code. If you want to write complex automations it doesn't work very well. It is also a great tool to grant other IT teams access to manage a subset of AD groups, users, or even attributes.

We have been using the product for almost 3 years. We are a large-sized school district. This product works well for us for daily operation and end of year housekeeping. As with many school districts, we struggle with help and this tool can help. Once you set this up you can have anyone create a user using the templates and they do not need any active directory knowledge, just click and create. If you are a smaller school or business with dedicated Active Directory person, you may not need it.
