The system is good, but in the implementation and deployment it was complicated if it requires a lot of knowledge and time to carry out a correct implementation, otherwise the security reports do not indicate any activity and come out with errors, also the support takes a long time , which must be improved so that this product is vital in any company.

In short this system is one of the best that I have been able to use and that I believe that every company should have in its data since it is a true guardian of all the information that you manage in your equipment. And it will be the first one that will tell you what happened and what was the last movement that generated the failure in the system if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus?

We use ADAudit as a mostly passive tool to log changes made within our AD environment. From GPO changes, to user logons and also modified attributes. We send out a daily report to our Support Desk each day to show failed logins for particular users, which could alert them of an attack vector or more likely someone that hasn't changed their password across all systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus?

When trying to access archive data, it must be pulled from a repository rather than more readily available in the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tracking changes to our AD environment to ensure our security is scoped appropriately. Also use it for random change tracking requests on groups and user logons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus?

I liked the reporting and easy to use analytics. Most reports are canned and what you want. Setup is easy and you can get it going and reporting pretty fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus?

There was a change in the most recent versions that let you only look at the most recent data without loading archived databases. Sometimes the site freezes and needs to be restarted which was kind of annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ManageEngine ADAudit Plus:

This is an easy solution to implement and gives plenty of reports that you can use mostly every day. It is the first place I go when there is a user or AD issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were able to see locked out employees quickly. We were able to report on servers, groups, users, logins, pretty much anything you can think of that has to do with AD and not run any PowerShell commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
