ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Review

- a security hardening section like other ManageEngine products
- make the user interface more similar between other ManageEngine products
- a little more detail in reports
ManageEngine -- Gets the job done!
- Data capture against a wide variety of sources (logs, events, windows, Linux systems)
- Ability to find specific events in the logs
- Basically unlimited history
- Useful dashboard (although not really once you dig into it)
- It's based on Java engine that is slow -- reports are often difficult to build (we are going to upgrade the machine it's running on to see if this is the issue)
- Keeping this software up to date is a pain; there should be a better "update" function
- The naming and navigation are terrible -- it's never clear which feature you're looking for and where it's hidden in the menus
- Adding machines is not as easy as it should be; occasionally there are IP conflicts that are nearly impossible to resolve
- User, GPO, Computer object change auditing
- AD activity tracking/auditing such as login failures
- LAPS password read auditing
- Radius logging
- Better availability of archived logs - remounting logs can be time consuming
Simple and Cheap AD Reporting.
- AD reporting.
- Live user account event research and review.
- network drive access permission changes.
- some of the reports have bugs and have been long-standing issues not resolved for years.
- web portal has not really changed in look & feel in years.
- not always the easiest to customize reports.
ManageEngine ADAudit Plus.
- Detects new users, privileged users.
- Detects failed and successful login attempts.
- Detects new computers added to domain.

- Integration with Azure could be better documented.
- More analytics for compliance templates.
- More flexible custom reports.
- Auditing logins and logoffs
- Finding account lockouts
- More azure linked tools and reports
ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
Gives us a deeper dive into the stuff that happens in AD w/out us realizing. We utilize this tool a lot!
- Logging
- Features available
- Interface and layout
- Multiple domain access
- Server integration
- simplify notifications
- some feature seem clunky
If you're not in an AD environment, the software is obviously not helpful but if you are...don't miss out. Implementation is a breeze, the software works great. Support is consistent. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.
- Activity reporting
- Alerting on anomalies and unexpected events
- Ease of deployment and configuration
- Excellent end user support
- Custom alerts can be difficult to write/configure
- Would like to see more complex alerting for common AD attacks such as Kerberosting, etc.
- Alerting on relevant events.
- Report generation for specific scenarios.
- Logging of meaningful data.
- Correlation/Anomalous Activity checks.
- In earlier releases there were quite a few bugs and performance issues. These have since been resolved.
- When integrated with the Log360 Suite, it can be confusing on whether EventLog Analyzer or ADAudit Plus are "managing"/"Ingesting" the data from a given endpoint.
AD Audit Plus
- Logon Failures
- User activity
- User Management
- Integration with other solution of ManageEngine without SSL
- Better UI
- Can we get detailed activity of users
The enduser lead can manage groups for their employees using the provisioning application, all changes are audited in this application. For all the other changes that are made outside the tool we use AD Audit logging, but that is hard to manage because securitylogs ar fastly overwritten (even with high capacity log settings) and most of the time it is hard to find the specific changes you need.
Since we use ADAuditplus all these problems are gone and besides that we saw that ADauditplus had more capabilities that helped us to prefend looking in audit logs, because we now have the ability to set alerts for specific changes that we did not want to happen. For example the "password never expires" option, we dont want that to be set for any user. In ADAuditPlus I created a rule that send me and IT management an email that shows us who and when that specific change was made. We are very happy with ADauditplus, it helps us to maintain the high level security in our environment.
- ManageEngine ADAudit Plus changes for user and group management can be looked up in builtin reports
- You can build your own reports based on almost every logic you can think of
- You have the ability to create alerts based on logic and filters and sendout custom alerts to email, SMS or other means.
- First you need to understand the basics of the software, after that the software itself is very helpfull in configuring specific items.
- I really love the support that ManageEngine is giving the customer, for all questions I use the chat on their website. This is for me the best remote support I ever saw, and I saw a lot in my 20 years of experience in IT.
- The archive function can use some more work. When I search for data and the data is found in the archive I can push a button to retrieve it, but there is no notification when the data is fully loaded again.
- Searching for specific data in reports it could be helpful to have a drop list of common failures when using the advanced filter option.
- Besides the default alerts dashboard it would be nice to create your own alerts dashboards. That way I could give other people there own alerts dashboard with the alerts that are helpfull for them only.
Good for the price
- Tracking changes to passwords.
- Tracking user access changes via security groups.
- Tracking group policy changes.
- Event driven alerting
- Customizable dashboard
- Smoother upgrade process. Sometime easy, sometimes clunky
Happy with the ManageEngine ADAudit Plus solution
- Track changes to rights
- track changes to policies
- check for locked out accounts
- report again usage
- It would be great to feed data from ADAudit Plus to ad manager and use that for changes
- It would be great to have an sql like language to report against the data
- It would be great to store the data 100% in the cloud
I have yet to find a solution where it is not appropriate for us. The cost is right for the output so value is big.
Quick and Easy
- File audits
- Active Directory Audits
- Reports
- Better integration with Azure AD
- Better Sharepoint Logging
Where multipe administraors are available in Active Directory this is useful to be able to easily display actions in Active Directory, and show any changes made to Group Policies, User Groups amonst other things.
It is not so great at intergrating in with Azure AD as it is on premise but it has improved.
Great Product, the price makes it even better!
- Management Delegation.
- Reporting
- Intuitive interface.
- honestly, i don't know where it could improve. it has everything we need.
Look inside AD with ADaudit.
- Reporting
- Logs
- Alerts
- Assets Inventory.
