Forefront Identity Manager (Discontinued) vs. ManageEngine ADManager Plus

I think that MIM is great for compliance since it reduces the number of logins that are required by users. Most offices have post-it notes with logins floating around because there are so many to remember or there are "shared" logins. This reduces the number of logins to 1 and you can easily revoke access in one fell swoop. This prevents gaps and holes with terminations and updates to select groups are super simple.

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.
