ManageEngine ADManager Plus Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use ADManager Plus to more effectively and efficiently manage our AD environment, and share some of the tasks with our HR department.

We all know the built-in Microsoft AD tools are rudimentary and severely lacking. ADManager takes AD management and puts it on steroids. everything you wish you could do, and think that you *should* be able to do, you can with ADManager plus.

Likelihood to Recommend

Any environment that runs on AD needs ADManager Plus. They have already built-in 95% of the queries and reports you will need. It provides a great window into your AD environment. The interface is very intuitive and for any reports or queries that aren't already packaged the product makes them easy to build.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am still learning the software but the user and computer reports are helpful. I am looking to utilize the Goup and OU reports along with the GPO reports. There is an application what requires user accounts to be uploaded weekly. This has been a huge time saver to enable us to automate the process.

Reports are very helpful

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using ManageEngine AD Manager Plus to automate the AD related tasks and to generate reported related to the Active Directory. We are creating users in just a few click rather than following a lot of steps in active directory and without log in to the active directory server. With this tool, we are modifying user properties in very simple steps. With this tool, you can generate different type of password reports, user reports and different account reports. You can set up notification for password expiry and this tool will send automatic email before the password expire. With this tool, we can see the enabled and disabled accounts, steal accounts and accounts that has been disabled in organization but we can still see their account information here. We can manage groups and mailbox as well in this tool. So, basically it is saving our lot of time and resources and making life easy for admin team.

ManageEngine ADManager Plus is doing good in lot of areas and making things easy for admins that take care of Ad related works. It is helping us to create users in bulk rather than following one by one step in active directory. Apart from the user creation, we can modify users in bulk without going to one by one in their profile. We can manage user account from here like account update, some modification, password related issues, and mailbox update. This tool is good but it has some drawbacks like we have 2 domains in our company but we cannot edit or modify users for both domains in a single attempt. We cannot change in password settings for both domains in single selection.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have given HR access to this product to stream line our user provisioning process. We created user templates that automatically add users to respective groups.

I also use this product extensively in my department to run reports for computers that haven't logged in for a certain period of time, determine which user accounts can be deactivated, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

We mostly use this for user provisioning, it was easy to give HR access to the application while not opening up active directory. It's user interface simplifies the process.

We are a school district with over 6,000 students, it's easy to create a CSV file and mass update all students simultaneously.

I don't think this product would be useful for smaller organizations, you could simply run a powershell script to pull data from your domain controller.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To begin with, we needed a product that would import a CSV file into Active Directory to update our users information. This has done this for us without an issue for 4+ years.

Additionally, realizing the product does much more than that, we have leveraged it for user reports, computer reports, etc. This has helped with every day tasks and keeping AD updated and clean.

Likelihood to Recommend

Less suited: NOn-AD environments.

Suited: AD environments. Orgs that require a tool to help manage AD with not just reports but also being able to manage users within a Friendly UI.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization was having a problem with our various technicians in the creation of new users. Account names were misspelled, incorrect OU assignment and missed group membership to name a few. We purchased ADManager Plus to help us streamline this process and reduce the human error factor. I am happy to say that this application worked perfectly and helped my company immensely (my headaches too).

Likelihood to Recommend

ADManager is perfectly suited for reducing the human error in account creation. The templates I needed to create for this were easy and I was done within a couple of days. I am happy to sign that account creation errors has been near zero since the roll out of this application. I look forward to using more of its functionality

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ADManager Plus is being used to audit our Active Directory and helps to manage it. This is a great tool to keep users from logging into domain controllers but still allows them to make AD changes. It also provides good scheduled reports to assist with auditing your AD environment.

Likelihood to Recommend

ADManager Plus is a great tool if you are doing a lot of changes in Active Directory. This tool gives you the ability to create templates for creating user accounts. With this feature, you can streamline the user onboarding process. If you are not having to make constant changes to AD this may not be the best tool for you.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ADManager Plus is being used across multiple teams in IT. We are also using it to run some automations to upkeep distribution lists. It is a very powerful reporting tool for Active Directory and also for bulk creations or modifications needed to be made in your environment. If you have a team managing AD that isn't great with PowerShell, ADManager can help fill that gap!

Likelihood to Recommend

ADManager is great for assisting your Active Directory support team with reports, bulk creation or modifications, and simple automations. It takes the PowerShell coding out of managing Active Directory and allows your team to build some automated tasks without needing to code. If you want to write complex automations it doesn't work very well. It is also a great tool to grant other IT teams access to manage a subset of AD groups, users, or even attributes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

<p>We start using ADManager a few years ago and it is a great tool and adds great value to a Microsoft Active Directory domain. This product helps us tremendously for bulk creating and bulk de-provisioning users. Love the user interface, very easy to find what you need without the need of command line tool.</p><p>We use the product daily for AD management and housekeeping. We create single users, de-provisioning use, reports on user groups, mass deployment and other bulk operations such as disabling users or move them to specific OU. The bulk tool can have templates so if you disable user they automatically clear all the group membership. You can create templates for user creation as well. This tool also works with Google and Office365.</p>

We have been using the product for almost 3 years. We are a large-sized school district. This product works well for us for daily operation and end of year housekeeping. As with many school districts, we struggle with help and this tool can help. Once you set this up you can have anyone create a user using the templates and they do not need any active directory knowledge, just click and create. If you are a smaller school or business with dedicated Active Directory person, you may not need it.
