I am still learning the software but the user and computer reports are helpful. I am looking to utilize the Goup and OU reports along with the GPO reports. There is an application what requires user accounts to be uploaded weekly. This has been a huge time saver to enable us to automate the process.
  • users reports
  • computer reports
  • group reports
  • I would like to be notified of any training available
Reports are very helpful

We have not evaluated other products. We use several ManageEngine products and are very happy with them. The pricing is reasonable and support is very good.

It was recommended to us by our security vendor to help monitor security. The fact we can automate task such as creating user lists was an added bonus.
We would not change the way we evaluate products. Price, functionality, and ease of use are priorities.

  • No Training
I would prefer to receive some kind of online training
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
We use several ManageEngine products and support has always been quickly responsive. They come up with a solution instead of a band aid and are quick to follow up to check our satisfaction
We rarely need Premium support for any of the products we use and the support we receive from ManageEngine is top notch.
I have not personally contacted support for this product but for other products its been very good.
Without training, I have been able to create reports that I need and get the information I am looking for.
  • The reporting function is very easy to use
  • The ? tab provides answers to my questions
  • Finding reports created by other users. It could be operator error on my part

Our organization was having a problem with our various technicians in the creation of new users. Account names were misspelled, incorrect OU assignment and missed group membership to name a few. We purchased ADManager Plus to help us streamline this process and reduce the human error factor. I am happy to say that this application worked perfectly and helped my company immensely (my headaches too).
  • Easy to use
  • Easy to install
  • Helpful support team
  • Nice reporting features
  • Worth the cost
  • 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.
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

We did not research any other applications. ADManager Plus was the first that appeared in our search. After a demo with their sales team, it was apparent that this was the application we wanted. The price was perfect too. We ordered it right away and implemented it within a couple of weeks.
I have only have needed to contact their support department a couple of times. Each time they answered my email quickly, have been courteous and have provided me with accurate answers.

ADManager Plus is being used to audit our Active Directory and helps to manage it. This is a great tool to keep users from logging into domain controllers but still allows them to make AD changes. It also provides good scheduled reports to assist with auditing your AD environment.
  • Creates user account by template
  • Streamlines new hire and termination processes
  • Helps generate report logs to assist with AD cleanup
  • Software support is rather lacking
  • Office 365 configuration tends to be isolated to a single user.
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.

  • This tool has reduced the time taken to on-board users.
  • This tool can do mass user creation and deletion.
  • Managing user changes is simplistic with this tool.
As far as reporting, ADManager Plus is on par with these other companies, but you would need an additional module to get the exact same reports. The items that put this in front of the other companies is the ability to create users and make group/permission changes.
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.

AD Management Made Easy!

ADManager Plus is being used across multiple teams in IT. We are also using it to run some automations to upkeep distribution lists. It is a very powerful reporting tool for Active Directory and also for bulk creations or modifications needed to be made in your environment. If you have a team managing AD that isn't great with PowerShell, ADManager can help fill that gap!
  • Running reports.
  • Making bulk modifications to your AD environment.
  • Reports can be hard to get what you need...sometimes they include fields that you don't need.
  • The automation feature broke after an update and our complex automations stopped working.
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.

  • It has helped reduce the number of tickets worked by our AD management team.
  • It has allowed other teams to control their own AD security groups, taking the AD management team out of the middle causing faster response times for our customers.
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?
This is one of their lacking points... Every time I have needed support the first thing they want to see is our log files. And then it can take days or weeks to hear back from them and sometimes you have to follow up yourself or they will just close your request. If you can actually get someone on the phone or a sessions scheduled to troubleshoot, sometimes you'll be lucky enough to solve your problem. We used to have a major new hire automation running in ADManager and it broke after updating the software. We went back and forth with them for a month or so and they were not able to resolve the issue, I ended up writing a PowerShell script and scheduling it to do the work that was being done before. This also allowed me to make the automation better than ADManager allowed.

We start using ADManager a few years ago and it is a great tool and adds great value to a Microsoft Active Directory domain. This product helps us tremendously for bulk creating and bulk de-provisioning users. Love the user interface, very easy to find what you need without the need of command line tool.

We use the product daily for AD management and housekeeping. We create single users, de-provisioning use, reports on user groups, mass deployment and other bulk operations such as disabling users or move them to specific OU. The bulk tool can have templates so if you disable user they automatically clear all the group membership. You can create templates for user creation as well. This tool also works with Google and Office365.

  • 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.
  • A way to copy creating a rule from the same page as you create new rules.
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.

  • Save time during yearly housekeeping.
  • No need to have a full time, trained Active directory person to create accounts.
  • Automation.
We tried ADManager, and as we liked it so much we didn't try any other tools. We use the free trial and it just works for us.
When we first tried it, they helped us set up the templates and we got very good training from them. When we have a problem we just call or open a ticket and we get a reply right away. They are there to help.
