What do you like best about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus?

I really like ManageEngine ADAudit Plus for its super easy and idiot-proof UI/UX. The simple aesthetics, easy-to-pull-out menus, clear workflows, and easy investigation make it comfortable for junior administrators. It's also cost-effective and stands out as a premium Make In India product. The initial setup was very easy, seamless, and had no downtime, definitely a 10/10 experience for me. I also find the identity management features like AD Management, ID Federation, cleanup tools for aging IDs, and password management very convenient. The alerts and escalation setup is very easy to use which adds to the product's overall utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus?

ManageEngine ADAudit Plus has plenty of room for improvement. It's not yet a full-blown Identity Management Solution. I wish it had AI-based prediction of ID abuse. It could be better at connecting to other enterprise systems using Microsoft Credentials and logging those activities both internally and externally, including on the cloud. The lack of SSO and MFA is also something that could be improved. Right now, it's pretty tied to just Microsoft products, but as LDAP evolves to the cloud, the product should be future-proof for cloud logins, social logins, SSO, and MFA.

What problems is ManageEngine ADAudit Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use ManageEngine ADAudit Plus to manage multiple ADs and hybrid IDs, prevent ID abuse, and log events and access points. It makes AD management and ID lifecycle easy with user-friendly interface and cost-effectiveness. It also helps with incident management and alert setup, aiding in efficient investigation.
