ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
Any environment that runs on AD needs ADManager Plus. They have already built-in 95% of the queries and reports you will need. It provides a great window into your AD environment. The interface is very intuitive and for any reports or queries that aren't already packaged the product makes them easy to build

Cons
ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
  • They need to improve their report in terms of modification, like you will not get a lot of customization options in the report.
  • In the password report if you are applying filter in Days since password last set and selecting the password change date from day 0 and again you want to select the Account status as Enable then you cannot do this.
  • If you have more than 1 domain and you are trying to modify users in both domains in a single attempt, you cannot do this.

Support Rating
ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
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 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.

Return on Investment
ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
  • 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.
