ManageEngine ADManager Plus vs. Pathlock

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.

It is a very good software for securing your enterprise software. It helps you keep the access secure. It integrates over 100 applications. It monitors all user activity permissions and data security control all over our applications from one panel. PathLock can automate all user access reviews and can identify all sensitive data access to produce complaint reporting for SOX, CCPA, GDPR, and many more regulations. There is a high degree of automation in the software.

• 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.

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.

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?
