Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus

Our company uses this product in multiple ways. We use it from a security and auditing perspective to monitor Windows logons to critical Windows devices, monitor account lockouts on how often they are occurring down to the source of the authentication and monitoring real-time changes in our Windows environment. From an auditing perspective we monitor file changes to critical locations, privileged user monitoring, peripheral device auditing and starting to integrate and use it in our cloud environments as well. The problems this products address for us are is provides us with deeper reporting then we used to have all of the auditing/security options available wit the product. The reporting is pretty deep, informative and easy to understand for all levels of management. Our scope and use case was for more enhanced reporting options from a security and auditing perspective in which this product excelled at for us and our needs.
  • Windows Logon Monitoring
  • File Change Monitoring
  • Privileged User Monitoring
  • USB Auditing
  • Reporting
  • Improve the initial setup as we had a few issues
  • The Managing File Server activity could be improved
  • Web portal needs to be updated from a look & feel perspective
  • Upgrade the custom reports
  • Enhanced our reporting
  • Enhanced our security monitoring
  • Enhanced our auditing capabilities
This solution absolutely improved our visibility in Active Directory as well as reporting for upper management and auditors. Custom reports are good but need to be enhanced to be better.
This solution has brought such a huge impact to our organization when it comes to being able to track changes. We can quickly and easily pull change type reports from Windows Active Directory report our Information Security, Compliance, Management or an auditor may be looking for or requesting. Being a heavily regulated institution, being able to track changes and document them is a major win for our team.
The solutions capabilities in this area are more major winners for our institution. Being able to monitor user information like behavior, length of sessions and changes made (just to name a few) have already assisted our our Compliance, Auditing and Security teams in a handful of internal investigations and the solution has provided hard data to close cases in just about all the investigations.
The ManageEngine ADAudit Plus has had a huge positive impact on our institutions security and monitoring capabilities. We have much more visibility to changes and logons than before which has helped multiple areas of the bank and tasks they were trying to complete or data they were looking to compile.
We selected ManageEngine ADAudit Plus for two simple reasons. One is it is so easy to use. Logging in and being able to easily see data, find data and gather data is so much easier then other products on the market. The other reason is what you get out of the product. We get data that will cover just about any request or need from multiple areas from Security, Compliance, Auditing and auditors.
We have not needed much support for this product due to its simplicity to use. When we had to use it during initial setup and some custom report functionality, we felt like the reps did not know much more than we did. They were able to eventually solve our issues, however the reps needed to consult different levels for the solutions we were looking for. Would recommend first tier support to get enhanced training.
