Our security has increase and the monitoring and alerting makes it easier to keep it secure and indeed increase that security
It detects items real time within AD. Azure AD is subject to a less timely sync however it is still providing useful insights

We have better logging and alerting capabilities that are provided by ManageEngine ADAudit Plus.
Yes, it has. It is much easier to see what ManageEngine ADAudit Plus has captured that to search through Windows event logs.

The ManageEngine ADAudit Plus has had a huge positive impact on our institutions security and monitoring capabilities. We have much more visibility to changes and logons than before which has helped multiple areas of the bank and tasks they were trying to complete or data they were looking to compile.

It absolutely satisfied our security and monitoring objectives. We have the ability to generate reports and alerts if users modified sensitive files or granted access to sensitive areas where it was unauthorized.
Yes it did

It has helped us in monitoring and being compliant with our cyber security insurance. We are an MSP with access to thousands of customer devices so security is paramount for us. While we provide services and cyber security to customers we have to practice what we preach and protect our customers as well as ourselves.
Yes it does.

Does what it needs to do -- but ManageEngine really just provides reporting on events that have already happened. It's useful for trends and reporting but does not (is not designed to) provide active threat mitigation.
No. We don't use ManageEngine for any real-time activities. The system is to look at long-term trends and evaluate potential threats. ManageEngine has no ability to stop threats in real-time -- and by the time we'd look at a report it, the damage would be done.

This has provided us with logging where we did not easily have it and allowed us to greatly increase our security posture in terms of our ability to respond to and audit events after they happen.
Yes, this solution did. It made the expansion of our efforts in this area an easy deployment, taking not more than a few days of engineer time to get fully spun up and in a state we wanted.

From a user security and monitoring perspective, this tool is very helpful and easy to use. From a Window Server and operation, I see no changes to behavior. Over the course of 5 years, we have upgraded from Windows Server 2016 to 2019 and this year to 2022. Nothing changed in the backend functionality, reporting, or options in AdAudit.
Nothing has changed over time in any of the reporting and features we use in the product. We just noticed some of the reports have improvements in their cleanliness of reporting and bug fixes.

ADAudit helps me uncover blind spots; it's helped with our Cybersecurity insurance policy. The reports are highly customizable and the visuals make it easy to decipher audits.
My entire team receives an alert any time changes are made on the network, giving us the ability to know and track all changes on the network.

Compliance is important. Password usage, seeing who's logged in where. How long, password expiration etc.
Streamline auditing? Yes.
Track compliance? Yes.
Detect threats? N/A, we haven't used it for that type of function.

We only use the Windows Server functionality on a minimal basis. It has provided us with valuable insight based on File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) and print server audits.
ADAudit Plus has been critical is providing us with audit and compliance reports as well and detect malicious activity in real-time.
