We use SolarWinds Access Rights Manager [(ARM)] across the entire organization. It was primarily put in place to meet audit requirements when granting access to AD groups, file shares and onboarding or offboarding user accounts. We also just began to use the reconciliation feature as it is now available for AD groups.
- Very good integration with Active Directory
- Tracking changes made in Active Directory
- Approvals for access to different group memberships
- Helps us to improve our processes
- The emails generated could be improved, a little HTML or RTF goes a long way to readability
- The UI was designed by a coder, would be better to have some usability testing done.
- Better integration with non AD applications

ARM is being used by our IT department mainly for auditing of Active Directory, file server permissions, and Exchange mailbox access. ARM has allowed for visualization of permissions that allow users access to specific resources. Being able to visualize the permissions and access through a single view has been helpful for internal auditing and maintenance purposes. We are currently in the process of developing the custom JSON scripts to allow for one-click provisioning of users.
- Auditing is simplified for user permissions and access to corporate resources. The flow diagrams show which group is granting access.
- Provisioning if user accounts is simplified and standardized along with easy detection of scope creep.
- Developing of a self service password reset portal would make ARM even more critical to our infrastructure.
We are in the process of developing this portion of access rights manager, but preliminary testing shows there is a high probability of the impact being undeniable.

We have multiple domains which can be challenging and time-consuming, especially as we have a large staff base of roughly 1500 users. Its currently mainly being used by the service desk team to administer, report and also provide automation against AD accounts and objects. With such a large user base and multiple domains, it was easy to lose track of changes being made with a large amount of IT staff having access to make changes. ARM negates that and also provides a level of automation to assist the service desk.
- Alerts for access and changes to Windows file servers
- Automation
- Reporting aspects
- Regulatory requirements
- Audit changes to active directory and group policy
- The GUI can be misleading at times in terms of what you're actually looking for
- Cumbersome in some places

Only admins in IT use it. We manage the Dataowner and the Permissions they wanna give to their Users. With ARM we have completely restructured our main File Server and then have redone all of the Permissions based on what the Dataowner wants. We work closely with the Dataowner to make sure everything is set up as they want it.
- Easy to use, drag and drop, permission change with every change made logged
- Generating automated Reports for Dataowners to review
- Log all activity on the File server in case of Breaches or Viruses
- Design - the old 8Man design was more friendly
- I miss to option to create custom "Who has access here" reports. My Dataowners dont need to know where users have List rights
Nothing to describe here. We only use it for File server Permissions and reports. No automated process was wanted by our Management
Easy to use and to manage your Microsoft AD environment, FileRights, and AD Objects and Exchange. Perfect to track your AD changes and GPDR. We have been using it for three years now. Perfect German support.

SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is used by our IT department for the quarterly access reviews for audit purposes. We managed to shave hours off the process of generating the report of who has access to what, and now we can even schedule it—pure automation. That was the main reason for the purchase decision, and now we are using it to see who did what and more.
- SolarWinds Access Rights Manager is easy to set up and configure. We had the first report generated in a few hours.
- The automated feature for the reports is great. We just set it and forget it and now the reports get emailed on schedule.
- One thing I'd like to see is more customization within the reports. Company branding and colors as well as individual items to include or exclude.
