User Testimonials
	ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
Likelihood to Recommend	ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd ManageEngine is mostly a "check the box" solution for SIEM systems. We needed something that satisfied our customer and was cost-effective. I would highly rate the system on "worth what paid for". Support is eager to please and prompt. My only issue is that it's mostly based outside the US with helpful, but non-native speakers so it's hard to understand them. I wish they would spring for better help "phone lines" so I'm not dealing with difficult to understand and unclear speakers. Incentivized Ken Lubar CTO Read full review
Pros	ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd 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. Incentivized Zwier Dijkhuis Systems Engineer Read full review
Cons	ManageEngine, A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd In earlier releases there were quite a few bugs and performance issues. These have since been resolved. When integrated with the Log360 Suite, it can be confusing on whether EventLog Analyzer or ADAudit Plus are "managing"/"Ingesting" the data from a given endpoint.
