Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus

We use ManageEngine ADAudit Plus for a number of active directory security and monitoring tasks. We have configured things to be notified by email on AD security groups, account creations, deletions, modifications, and much other AD-related monitoring. We use it for file audits, server audits, analytics, and hundreds of alerts.
  • Active Directory reporting
  • File Audit Reporting
  • Server Auditing
  • Login activity & failures
  • be able to integrate with major storage providers like Dell EMC
  • Integrate with PURE storage
  • Has helped us quickly identify problem accounts with realtime reporting
  • Quickly identify changes being done in our Active Directory environment
  • SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm), Veeam ONE and VMware vRealize Business for Cloud (discontinued)
ManageEngine ADAudit is definitely focused and targets Active Directory very well. When monitoring and researching changes to our AD setup, ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is the first place we look to for details and resolution. The other tools mentioned are excellent in what they do overall, but ADAudit Plus is what we have come to prefer for keeping track of changes in our AD environment.
