ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Reviews & Product Details

Very easy to setup and upgrade. The application pulls logs directly from DC's and has a lot of the functionality required out of the box.

The website is easy to navigate and very clean. The out of box reports are really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support could be better, and english is sometimes difficult to understand, but for the price it is a trade off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The default dashboard for ADAudit Plus provides a good overview of what is happening in your Active Directory environment. There are a ton of reporting options that allow you to drill down to the specific information you are looking for that also offer AND/OR for every column in those reports, allowing you to further refine the reports. File server auditing and Active Directory backup are both very useful features as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the number of reporting options is appreciated, it can sometimes be overwhelming to find a report if you don't already know its location or what you're looking for. Thankfully, there is a search feature that works well to mitigate this minor issue. There are only three alert levels: attention, trouble, and critical. It would be nice to have the option for a wider range of severity levels to fine tune alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the depth of visibility AD Audit provides the team with into both our On bbPrem AD and Entra ID as well as the prebuilt reports it avails to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would not see one at this stage as I'm fairly new to it. Nothing but good things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps organizations to proactively detect and respond to security threats while also simplifying the auditing and reporting process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It must also be designed to help individuals monitor and audit their Active Directory environments, not just organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Perfect compatibility with active directory and microsoft servers and user-friendly management interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great for active directory reporting and auditing, but I would love to have the same features in Admanager in the same app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been a fantastic tool for tracking and monitoring changes in Active Directory. We have been able to use the tool to find stale account and excess failed logins throughout the environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface could be better in a few places. Also, as part of the licensing, you are required to license all domain controllers, so expansion in your environment can cause blind spots. Neither is a huge issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to run easy reports for compliance and audits. Also I am able to determine where some system issues may be happening such as user lockouts and old service accounts. I've used it to figure out what accounts haven't been used for months and remove them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The update process leaves a little to be desired. The initial install is an MSI, but you need to update via a PPM file. The update also calls for several batch files that wreak havoc with some Anti Malware software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Default reports are all you need to your audit reports against your Active Directory environment. Creating custom reports is simple. Perfect for large-scale Active Directory environments. Automating and scheduling reports are also easy to do. Their support, both local and international, has been outstanding over the last few occasions. Fast escalations within their support framework and online sessions to aid in resolving your issues. One of the best auditing tools currently out there in the market.

To date, there were a few upgrade issues. However, the support team was able to resolve the problems. Querying more than one Active Directory domain and the number of domain controllers requires affects the licensing fees. That is something to be aware of when purchasing.
