Overall Satisfaction with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus

We have been a ManageEngine ADAudit Plus customer for over eight years and have used it to monitor protected Active Directory groups. The groups that we primarily monitor are groups that have elevated privileges within Active Directory, such as Domain Admins, Domain Operators, and groups that have privileges to reset passwords. If a member is removed or added to one of these groups ManageEngine ADAudit Plus will generate an email alert that goes out to system admins.

Pros

  • Monitors privledged group memberships
  • detailed reports are available
  • monitors changes to Group Policy settings

Cons

  • more robust reporting , dashboards, etc
  • enforcement of who has access to privileged information.
  • instant alerts on unwanted GPO changes, adds to system stability.
  • provides and audit trail for who did what, when , etc.
We were using the Snare client that was only capable of forwarding logs to some type of syslog server. To be able to get meaning full reports or alerts from that system it would all need to be customized. This would require that you had the expertise on staff to set up these alerts and custom reports. ManageEngine ADAudit Plus does all this for you already to use.

Yes

Would you buy ManageEngine ADAudit Plus again?

Yes

in our environment we have found it to be most beneficial to as an alerting system when someone has been added to a privilege group that may not have been authorized to be in the group. These alerts go to the Domain Admins group that will then determine if the user role is authorized or not. We also use to track who has done Group Policy updates and may not have gone through the correct Change Control process.
