Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus

We primarily use ManageEngine ADAudit Plus for our RDS environment, as the majority of our users log in to our Terminal Servers.
We retain the logs for all user login and log-off activities and are able to pull reports for various requests.
Additionally, we apply it to our AD environment to keep track of all changes that are made to our objects. This is very beneficial to us as we do have several Domain Admins with various access levels and need to be able to manage changes that are being made within our domain.

As mentioned, we tend to receive requests from time to time inquiring about user logon/logoff activities, especially with the new hybrid work approach. The reports from ManageEngine ADAudit Plus are amazing and very clean for us to provide to department heads to allow them to measure employees' attendance and their overall productivity levels.
  • Logons - reports are very clean and concise and accurate
  • Account Lockouts - very challenging to do without ManageEngine ADAudit Plus. The tool allows us to easily locate the device or, at the very least, point us in the right direction!
  • AD change management - IT admins should consider this a necessity, and ManageEngine ADAudit Plus facilitates this seamlessly
  • Version updates - I'm not sure if this is available as I have not seen any option, but it would be nice if we could be notified when there is an update via email.
  • Minimal disruption to our overall business objectives. However, it would be detrimental to my team's ability to provide reports that might be of a sensitive nature.
Yes, because of increased visibility into our environment, we were able to see a significant improvement in our efficiency and our ability to turn around on requests.
Internally, our team was able to identify what was changed, when and by whom. This has allowed us to ensure we're able to audit and keep track of all the changes made within our environment, especially when there are multiple "chefs in the kitchen."
Our HR Team appreciates us when we're able to deliver reports that show all these stats for certain employees.
Managers who might have issues with certain staff on their team consider using some of these reports when discussing certain topics with their team members.
Better tracking of all AD objects and File Servers.
yes
Chat support is pretty much instantaneous and very articulate in their assistance.
