    I would recommend ADAuditPlus (and/or Log360) to any org that is trying to achieve PCI DSS Compliance and is struggling with some of the monitoring and reporting aspects, provided that the org is prepared to spend a little time and effort in truly understanding the requirements and is prepared to document requirements and match them to the ADAuditPlus product features.

    • ManageEngine ADAudit Plus changes for user and group management can be looked up in builtin reports
    • You can build your own reports based on almost every logic you can think of
    • You have the ability to create alerts based on logic and filters and sendout custom alerts to email, SMS or other means.
    • First you need to understand the basics of the software, after that the software itself is very helpfull in configuring specific items.
    • I really love the support that ManageEngine is giving the customer, for all questions I use the chat on their website. This is for me the best remote support I ever saw, and I saw a lot in my 20 years of experience in IT.

    Cons
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • Alerts has to be configured correctly otherwise unnecessary bombarding of alerts can cause inconvenience.
    • The server on which ManageEngine OpManager is to be deployed should have higher resources as monitoring a large number of devices may slow down the performance of the system.
    • Configuring the advanced features may require a learning curve.

    • It's based on Java engine that is slow -- reports are often difficult to build (we are going to upgrade the machine it's running on to see if this is the issue)
    • Keeping this software up to date is a pain; there should be a better "update" function
    • The naming and navigation are terrible -- it's never clear which feature you're looking for and where it's hidden in the menus
    • Adding machines is not as easy as it should be; occasionally there are IP conflicts that are nearly impossible to resolve

    It works great for everything we need and use. Any issues in the software are pretty easy to resolve with tech support. And they are very responsive to resolving issues. Even ones where a fix/patch are required. At present, the software does everything we need it to for compliance, audit, and account review.

    ADAudit with its cloud and on prem install option allows any organization to get in on AD report management. Whether you need to report internally only for for external audit controls its a great tool with flexibility to handle most any user or group report capability. Since this also includes m365 integration it enables IT pros to administer usage, license, cost control and permission access to most anything in Microsoft's portfolio. Its a great tool all around for AD integrated access needs.

    I'd give their support a 10 if it weren't for the fact that sometimes, the support team (I believe they are overseas) can take a little bit to respond, but not too long. I may submit a ticket in the morning and won't hear about it until later in the afternoon. However, my tickets were not "urgent," so that may have been the reason for the delay. Other than that, support is great, and the ManageEngine account team has visited us in the past. It's always nice to see your product representatives take a white-glove approach like that.

    During our competitive analysis, we found ManageEngine OpManager was not expensive compared to other vendors. At the same time, there was no compromise on the features such as customized reporting or configuring alerts per our clientele's unique requirements. These are our client words "Other vendors ask us to pay more $$$ for enabling additional email alerts".

    • I don't know if you can calculate ROI with a monitoring solution, there are more factors to calculate.
    • We found a really big problem with a network switch (faulty transceiver) in a trunk configuration with OPManager. this caused us serial troubles with the overall network stability.
    • We are loosing around € 3.000 to 5.000 per hour if our network is not working so this was a great help to fix this issue
    • Our label printers are really important to monitoring in our warehouse system, this makes OPManager a great solution for that

    I like the ability to customize reports and provided great visibility to AD and some servers.
    • It helped greatly with customer support issues when we used ADAudit with the hundreds of customer accounts used for SSON to the LOB application server to users over Citrix.
    • It saved time on some issues with accounts and Group Policy changes that affected customer experience.
