ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus vs. SecureLink Enterprise Access

I think it's suited for any scenario, but mostly for people with a lot of remote users. It reduces the number of support requests as well that relates to forgotten passwords.

It does exactly what it needs to. The only times I've had serious issues with rolling out to a vendor is when they have a "contractual agreement" to only use their solution. Almost every vendor that I've worked with and shown this product to has been skeptical for the first 5 minutes and fully converted to liking the ease of use of the product by 10 minutes

• Remote password changes when not connected to a VPN or at a remote office
• MFA for certain user groups allows standard users to work normally without additional effort
• Excellent reporting
• MFA for certain services such as terminal access greatly enhances security to these servers.

• Easy to setup on a client PC or server for access
• Organizes client connections by gatekeeper so it is easy to find what you need
• File transfer option is great for uploading files to client servers

• Assist with post-implementation reviews to ensure we configured everything correctly
• Better integration with mobile devices such as an app to change M365 passwords for our mobile-only users
• It would be great if password changes of mobile users updates the AD so these accounts don't reflect as dormant AD accounts.

• Java based. Always an issue. I know they are working on this and it will be Javaless if we need it. I know that Java can cause issues across the board and I understand the need of it, but it does not make it any better when there are Java issues.
• Stronger integration with the Active Directory. Currently its only read-only, which is good and bad.
• I would love to see an App. I know they are working on this as well.

We are happy using securelink to access our client environments

We only had to send out a one-pager with instructions for staff to register and staff found it very easy to use.

The employees at Securelink have always been responsive and seem to be invested in the success of my company. They truly understand what their product means to us so if there is a problem, they are always willing to help. In the rare event that something is found on their end, they will be proactive and reach out to someone to help and get something on calendar for a fix

We have multiple products of ManageEngine in use, so it made logical sense to stick with them due to the integrations available with their other products, hence others weren't considered.

Securelink seems to work better than LogMein for a large enterprise group. Our company has over 10,000 different connections and securelink manages them well.

• Significantly reduced number of support calls for forgotten password, so less support services people required
• The ability to remotely change AD and M365 passwords saved a lot of time and costs of people travelling to offices to change passwords and we were able to reduce the password expiry time to be in line with best practice.

• I've found that Securelink allows me to get a vendor access to an application for support purposes much faster than a provisioned VPN account and the red tape around this. I can set up a vendor to access an application suite in a half hour and it will be more secure than regular provisioning.
• The ROI is yet to be seen on this, but it certainly makes Compliance, Internal Audit, and Legal very happy, which helps everybody.
• Internally, there is much more push back and it has been problematic. For a tech, to have to log in to a server and navigate to a system is considered cumbersome, when before all they had to do was open up Putty or RDP to a server to get in. The only way to combat this is to force them to use Securelink by removing rights. Near impossible for the domain admins.
