Use Cases and Deployment Scope

What do you like most about ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus?

I like having visibility over the number of logins and the installation quantity reports. I find administration easy, especially when a user is deleted, as it's simple to release the license to be used by another login. Installation via sharing works very well, as does installation via GPO. I've experienced a lot of ease in these aspects.

What don't you like about ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus?

I think that if there was a report showing the machine where it's installed and also the user using that machine, it would be much easier, because today I have two independent reports, one for machine installation and the other for user registration. If I had a report that combined these two pieces of information, it would be essential for me. Also, in the machine installation report, including the date the agent was installed on the machine would be very good.

What problems is ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus solving and how is this benefiting you?

I use ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus to solve the problem of users forgetting or locking their passwords, allowing them to automatically reset them and improving security with MFA for more secure logins.

O que você mais gosta no ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus?

Eu gosto de ter visibilidade sobre a quantidade de logins e os relatórios de quantidade de instalação. Acho fácil a administração, especialmente quando um usuário é excluído, pois é simples liberar a licença para ser aproveitada em outro login. A instalação por compartilhamento funciona muito bem, assim como a instalação por GPO. Tenho experimentado bastante facilidade nesses aspectos.

O que você não gosta no ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus?

Eu acho que se tivesse um relatório que mostrasse a máquina que está instalada e também o usuário que está usando aquela máquina, facilitaria bastante, porque hoje eu tenho dois relatórios independentes, um de instalação de máquina e o outro de inscrição de usuários. Se eu tivesse um relatório que unisse essas duas informações, seria essencial para mim. Além disso, no relatório de instalação de uma máquina, incluir a data que o agente foi instalado na máquina seria muito bom.

ADSelfService helps with MFA on devices that don't have it

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mainly use ADSS to enforce Multi-Factor Authentication on our domain computers and help secure our VPN access. One of the bigger things I have found that I don't like as much is that it can be a tad hard to update, especially when using it to help secure a VPN. As you have to deploy the new agent to the computers after updating it.

Pros

  • Ease of unlocking users
  • Helping to enforce MFA on computers
  • Sending reminders to users when their passwords are about to expire

Cons

  • Would be nice if the agent was easier to deploy
  • Possibly integrating it with ADManager Plus
  • Possibly making it easier for users to unlock their own accounts.

Return on Investment

  • We have moved to a different type of VPN, so now the main reason we got it isn't needed anymore
  • It is useful for what it does and the price it is
  • With the way MFA is growing it could be nice to have that wider range of MFA methods

ADSelfService Plus - Easy to use dependable and will save you time

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a development network. We ran into an issue after moving to a new domain as to how we could allow users on that dev network to reset their passwords (there are no machines with an OS that they can log into on that domain). Our solution to allow users to reset their passwords was to spin up a machine on that domain with manage engine Self Service Plus running. This allows the users to connect to the portal to manage their accounts. It has worked great, saved me a lot of time (unlocking and changing passwords etc). I would highly recommend the solution to anyone with a similar situation or a standard on premise domain.

Pros

  • Ease of use
  • Reliable solution that requires little maintenance
  • Allows our users to manage their own accounts easily.

Cons

  • The only thing I can think of is another way of resetting rather then security questions. Many companies are moving away from these as they are sometimes easy to guess or get from someone.

Return on Investment

  • Saves the IT contact hours and hours of time (added up) in managing accounts for users.
  • Dont have specific ROI numbers but definitely work the money
