We utilize it to address a gap in logging when it comes to tracking AD changes completed by our systems & support teams.
  • User, GPO, Computer object change auditing
  • AD activity tracking/auditing such as login failures
  • LAPS password read auditing
  • Radius logging
Cons
  • Better availability of archived logs - remounting logs can be time consuming
To provide increased logging and reporting ability in the form of a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy solution. To provide a plug-and-play solution to manage even the most decentralized AD environments.

I use ManageEngine ADAudit Plus daily to monitor and track logins and view login failures. I also use it to monitor changes throughout the network. The best part about the product is that changes can be tracked and documented with beautiful reports that can be handed to upper management and look professional.

The problem that the product addresses is that logs are not easily viewed in a single pane of glass. Usually, multiple programs and interfaces have to be leveraged to view different types of information. The logs that this product pulls show them all within the same system and are easily found and displayed.

The alerting feature is another great part of this product. There are many predefined alerts that can be tweaked to your liking. New alerts can be created and set with whichever parameters you wish.

  • Automatic updates
  • Information regarding a report not showing data
ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is well suited for a company that wants to be able to track all aspects of its infrastructure. The reports are nice to keep or hand to management. Also, the other output options are nice to have to modify and use in another product if needed.

ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is simple and easy to use

We use ManageEngine ADAudit Plus to audit our user logins, password changes, group membership changes, and a whole ton more. We utilize ManageEngine ADAudit Plus to make sure we have a log of all our administrators changes to the any file systems and also to track any rogue or hijacked accounts in the case of a security breach.
  • Auditing
  • Keeping logs of user's changes
  • A great dashboard
We have had some administrative staff make changes that were not authorized and having ManageEngine ADAudit Plus really helped us provide the evidence that they in fact made the unauthorized change. We've also had a case where some file changes were made by service accounts and that helped us figure out which ones were doing the change.

A simple to use but powerful tool for auditing active directory and o365

We use it for checking logins and auditing account usage. When did this user login? How many times did this user try to login today? Was this user logged in at this time? The feature used mose on this product for us is login activity tracking.
  • Auditing logins and logoffs
  • Finding account lockouts
Cons
  • More azure linked tools and reports
Its been a great tool for our IT department for several years.

AD Audit Plus the software you need to do good auditing of your AD.

We Use ADAudit Plus to audit our AD on-prem and see who did what on accounts. This also allows us to track login attempts from an external source. We also use this platform to help manage stale accounts and accounts with too much privilege. We are also able to see what server users and admins are logging in.
  • User id tracking and modification.
  • Who logged in to what.
  • How many failed attempts per user.
Cons
  • Reporting from longer term faster.
  • GUI could be improved.
  • More customizable dashboard.
We detected that a person was logged into a server with his regular credentials when he should not have been able to since only admin accounts are allowed to do so. We saw a user getting locked accounts all the time, logging into a server, and then logging out. After he changed his password twice, the account locked out due to the login.
