Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus

We use AD Audit to manage all avenues of Active Directory. Monitoring of AD user's creation, change and deletes Monitoring of Admin accounts Monitoring of specific confidential file changes Monitoring of thresholds of changed files Monitoring of who deleted, changed, or moved files These are the basic functions we use, but there are many more that are in use.
  • File change auditing.
  • Reports on anomalies that happen with users or files.
  • Printer usage results.
  • User lockout auditing.
  • Better detailed logging for AD Account Bad Passwords.
  • It gives me peace of mind knowing that auditing is in place and ready to be reported at any time.
The visibility makes it so much easier to get a high level view of all AD users/Servers and what is going on.
We work more efficiently. It takes less time to monitor AD, so we can put efforts into other aspects of IT.
We don't use AD for much server monitoring.
This does help on specifics of AD objects and auditing.
For AD Auditing, this software provides the reporting we need more than other products.
It satisfies the external auditing requirements for AD users that we needed.

When a file is deleted, it is easy to search for who deleted it. The reports on who did what and when are very helpful and also help in the security/ransomware area. Years ago, there was ransomware that started changing files. An alert was triggered, and we were able to stop it immediately.
