We use it to manage the active directories. It brings powerful tools that others don't have, and it's in an extremely intuitive interface. The reports are great, and it already has all the reporting we need without using our time creating them. It's easy to create and manage custom active directory attributes, which we use on a regular basis. We also use the user delegation tools; we have given HR access so they can also make employee changes.
  • Management Delegation.
  • Reporting
  • Intuitive interface.
Cons
  • honestly, i don't know where it could improve. it has everything we need.
If you have an active directory in your business with more than just a handful of employees, you'll want ADAudit Plus. It's great for managing AD. Suppose you are in a heavily regulated field like Financial Services or Healthcare, then you will need it. The management, plus the reporting, will help you tremendously.

Great product for an even better price to provide easy to deploy visibility.

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.

Great Insight into Active Director

This product is critical to the monitoring and notifications of the overall system, while other solutions monitor for uptime, performance. This solution monitors changes in your Active Directory, this can include group membership changes, permissions as well as new workstations and servers added to the domain.
  • Notifications.
  • Monitoring.
  • Reporting.
Cons
  • Better Reporting.
  • Better Documentation.
  • Better GUI.
It's fairly easy to install and get up and running quickly. However, setting up proper alerts and ensuring key indicators of compromise are addressed as a priority took longer.

Look inside AD with ADaudit.

  • unusual azure logon activity
  • unusual file activity
  • AD changes
Cons
