  • Enhanced our reporting
  • Enhanced our security monitoring
  • Enhanced our auditing capabilities
This solution absolutely improved our visibility in Active Directory as well as reporting for upper management and auditors. Custom reports are good but need to be enhanced to be better.

  • As far as ROI, I think what we get from ManageEngine ADAudit Plus and the cost is well worth it. We save so much time in the information we get.
Improved visibility into AD certainly has saved a lot of time so we can focus on other issues.

  • Gets the job done and meets SIEM checklist
  • Occasionally has help assign responsibility for "mistakes"
  • Provides some peace of mind for reporting
The reports are accurate and easy to get. There really hasn't been an "ah ha" moment from the systems, but that's really the nature of what it does. The ROI for the amount of effort and price is high. If you need a on premises, "check the box", cost effective SIEM systems I'd highly recommend checking out ManageEngine.

  • We had a regulation request to monitor the file servers and ADAudit does that.
  • We had a regulation request to remove any unnecessary permission and ADAudit helps with that.
The visibility improved, no doubt. We can see all the events in one place. The customizable reports sure help save time, very nice feature.

  • We added quarterly AD user reporting to our financial auditing process easily.
  • We added monthly user account membership reviewing.
  • Added the ability to troubleshoot user lockout ad hoc to IT controls.
Group membership reviewing, quarterly user access control reporting, and account lockout controls have been the biggest visibility improvements with this software. It is really easy and scalable to handle user and network growth. Even the ability to add other reports from existing data is handy.

  • Helped detected, alert, and prevent lateral movement from penetration tests
  • Invaluable reporting when conducting an Audit. Saves significant time when auditors request details about an account and when it was active, disabled, password changed, etc.
ADAudit Plus provides an invaluable view into the activities of your Active Directory environment. I consider this product to be an absolute necessity to any administrator. If you are frequently audited, you will need some sort of reporting tool and ADAudit Plus can provide historical reports that can be archived for any desired time period. It can quickly generate reports when needed and archived data is simple to retrieve when needed.
