What I like most about ManageEngine ADManager Plus is its strong automation and reporting capabilities. It significantly cuts down on manual Active Directory work such as user provisioning, group management, and password resets. The interface is intuitive, and the customizable compliance reports make audits straightforward. Secure delegation also allows non-admin users to take care of routine tasks without added risk, which saves time and improves overall efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about ManageEngine ADManager Plus is that the interface can feel cluttered and overwhelming at first, especially for new users. Some of the more advanced features take time to learn, and in very large environments I’ve noticed occasional performance slowdowns. I also find that reporting customization could be more intuitive, and the mobile support feels limited compared to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ManageEngine ADManager Plus has been a game-changer for our organization's Active Directory management. As an security administrator, we appreciate its straightforward interface and powerful feature set that simplifies managing user accounts, groups, and organizational units.

One of the best features is its simple web-based dashboard, which allows us to perform various AD tasks effortlessly. Creating, modifying, or deleting user accounts and groups is a breeze, and the bulk import/export option saves us valuable time during onboarding and offboarding processes.

We are impress with the capabilities of this tools.

Certain updates have led to compatibility issues in our Active Directory environment, necessitating us to contact customer support for assistance. However, the resolution process may take some time to address the problem effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ADManager Plus has a great user interface and dashboard. We have created custom templates for various account purposes such as an Employee, Service Account, and External Vendor, all with their different requirements in order to create AD accounts correctly and consistently with custom rules. based on Office sites or other requirements. The workflow process is extremely handy for us when we are disabling a former employee account, ensuring account de-provisioning is done correctly. ADManager automation capabilities has considerably reduced the ServiceDesk's time on repetitive tasks. We are looking forward on implementing the UKG integration in the next few months to improve our process with HR on Onboarding and deprovisioning users. The integration with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is a great benefit for us as well. Their continuous improvement, integration with Azure AD, and the ability to use an Azure SQL Managed Instance instead now even of a local Postgres Database shows their dedication in constantly improving on the product. The reporting capabilities are useful and beneficial for us on multiple occasions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything that I dislike about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ADManager Plus is fantastic. What I love the most is that it is super customizeable. The product grows with new features and additional options all the time. It's perfect for a HelpDesk user for resetting passwords, but powerfull enough for Admin to do bulk changes, imports, and account management. The reporting aspects and scheduled tasks make managing a forest simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a huge fan of the AD360 integration if you have other ManageEngine products. For me, it feels clunky navigating between the other products, like ADAudit. Some of the categories on the toolbar aren't as self explanitory, but once you get past the learning curve, it's good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can manage every aspect of my Active Directory environment from inside ADManager Plus without having to worry about my admins logging into the server. ADManager Plus also tracks every change made. I can restrict access to my AD environment, letting ADManager Plus handle all writes to AD, and see the activity that has been performed by my admins inside of the ADManager logs.

The upgrade process is still very manual. I have had a couple of occasions where there has been an error during the upgrade and I've had to restore the entire service from backups due to an inability to complete the upgrade. Other ManageEngine products now feature a fully automated update process and I would like to see that in ADManager Plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software provides automation and customizations that can help you streamline your onboarding process, especially for a small team like the one I have in my organization. You can also use the software to generate in-depth reports to help you identify security risks and compliance issues. With frequent updates and feature enhancements, you can ensure the software will keep up with your changing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides the occasional updates that might break some functionality of the application, there isnt much to dislike about the application. I would like to see more sleek UI design but that just a preference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
