ManageEngine ADManager Plus vs. Proofpoint Insider Threat Management

We mostly use this for user provisioning, it was easy to give HR access to the application while not opening up active directory. It's user interface simplifies the process. We are a school district with over 6,000 students, it's easy to create a CSV file and mass update all students simultaneously. I don't think this product would be useful for smaller organizations, you could simply run a powershell script to pull data from your domain controller

Proofpoint Insider Threat Management (ObserveIT) is well suite for organization that are ready to implement risk based solution and do not compare it feature by feature with Classic DLP products. It's aim to analyze and prevent misuse(both accidental or intentional) and educate users.

It depends on the our needs actually. Audit has big space on our environment, so we need to put anything infront of them clearly. ObserveIT makes it perfectly.

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.

Easy to access them, immediate response and huge knowledge make them nearly perfect. Also their supports have great sense of humour :)

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?
