ManageEngine ADManager Plus

Pros: I liked the automation of the user provisioning for ADManager Plus while performing the onboarding activities. It also eliminated hours of work of duplicating templates and copying group members and passwords and policies to all sites in the domain.

Cons: I observed a problem of not very speedy real-time modifications particularly with the membership of groups in dynamic contexts.

Pros: The intuitive interface and mobile app access were bonuses that made daily administration much smoother. Overall, AD Manager Plus gave us enterprise-grade identity management without unnecessary complexity

Cons: all the new changes hese drawbacks are trade-offs for the tool’s affordability and feature depth. For most mid-sized enterprises, the pros outweigh the cons.

Pros: ManageEngine ADManager Plus is User-Friendly Interface, Bulk User Management and we delegate tasks to helpdesk technicians without giving full admin rights.

Cons: Performance Lag with Large AD Environments, Limited Cloud-Only AD Support and services may require more time and training.

Pros: Very simple to setup, works with both iOS and Android. It helped explain to me what certificates were needed for iOS.

Cons: No complains, very impressed. I would say that maybe some extra tutorial or walk through steps could be helpful but overall easy to read through.

Pros: First of all, IU is user friendly and role-based access is awesome feature, this bulk user management, modification is super using csv files.

Cons: few options to work with other third-party vendors, UI feel old one, roles of you chose it is not having feature to update dynamically

Pros: The web based UI is intuitive, making it easy to manage ad task without using complex powershell scripts....

Cons: In large active directory environments with thousands of users or multiple domains, the tool can be sluggish, especially during report generation...

Pros: Amazing customer service and features. Easily able to navigate the dashboard and site. The setup process for first device made it effortless for all others.

Cons: The only "con" I am able to come up with for ManageEngine AdManager Plus is the pure amount of features. There are so many options that for a novice it could be overwhelming.

Pros: We do a lot of reporting for our customers so the automation of admin tasks and repetitive processes with no scripting is really good providing time savings.

Cons: Could be a bit more user friendly but once you get to know the workflows it is fine. Provides a nice GUI though to automate admin tasks which is very helpful.

Pros: i really have great time when using ManageEngine Ad manager since it has a very interactive interface and powerful automation features that streamline the Active directory management tasks. The ability to handle bulk user operations, Automate user deactivation and activations, generate reports that help in compliance and auditing. It also integrates with ms365 and hybrid environments effectively.

Cons: In a large environment which has a lot of Ad object count, Ad manager is always slow to load. Also a detailed documentation would help especially during integrations with hybrid and ms365 environments.

Pros: ADManager Plus’s strength I found the most useful was the built-in workflows for the repetitive processes like user provisioning, de-provisioning, and access certifications. I could design approval workflows that translated our workflows perfectly thus reducing the back-and-forth in e-mails, significantly enhancing the account management workflows.

Cons: Something that the user found annoying is that the role is not changed dynamically when some attributes are modified. There was a concern that once a user profile changed a group was not adjusted to another automatically thereby creating some gaps.

Pros: ADManager Plus delegation features were helpful in the ability to assign specific administrative chores to the help desk technicians but with less power. Through carefully setting rights at a granular level only the necessary accesses were afforded to technicians for instance, password resets and account access unlocks.

Cons: While setting up the delegations, there were certain procedural complexities especially in defining the roles.

Pros: The features that gave ADManager Plus a competitive edge included Access Certification Campaign for periodic checks on user access. This made sure that the permission given to every user was consistent with their job requirement and therefore limit access to unauthorized personnel.

Cons: There was one area that required enhancement, and this was flexible reporting. Special requests for certain types of reports and analyses took extra time sometimes which caused the inclusion of a few data sets that were not in the reports as preferred.​

Pros: ADManager Plus has provisions for user on-boarding and off-boarding so the management of user accounts was much more efficient and less prone to mistakes. The detailed reports available regarding the usage and access that the users had were highly advantageous to our security measures.

Cons: I faced some challenges with some of the HR management systems implementing some of the systems. There were difficulties with API integration making it that some of the data had to be input by hand an activity that was both tedious and prone to errors.

Pros: The ability to implement several features and options available with ADManager Plus, especially the Access Certification Campaign, proved to be a major boon for our company. It has enabled us to schedule groups for the periodic review of user access rights regarding internal policies and external requirements such as GDPR.

Cons: When implementing our solution, we encountered some issues with the integration of some tools into the HR system due to weak support of the API. It made it necessary to use manual methods in syncing user data, which was quite tedious to perform.

Pros: One of the major benefits I observed while using ADManager Plus was how it provided me with automation of various AD tasks like user management. There was relative ease in managing user account especially due to the predefined templates and the availability of the bulk operation.

Cons: I had to shift to the use of the browser version to be able to access all the available options.

Pros: My favorite feature of ADManager Plus was the way it deals with attribute mapping during cross-platform user creation. I was also able to connect Active Directory with Microsoft 365 to make sure that the process of provisioning was linked so that I did not have to use PowerShell.

Cons: One of the problems that I faced was the schedulling of the inactive accounts report. It has no capability to generate dynamic filters based logs of login history for multiple platforms together at once I had to run different reports to serve the purpose

Pros: Ability to manage users and run ad-hoc customized reports

Cons: The entire home screen interface looks boring and out of date.

Pros: What I loved best was the script free automation of our ad tasks

Cons: The thing I liked least was it is a little pricey

Pros: It streamelined identity management cycle, ADManager plus allow our company to manage the entire user life cycle, from provisioning to deprovisioning, making it easier to unboard and offboard employees.

Cons: It has limited customisation options. Apart from this everything works fine.

Pros: The Dashboard and user interface is very clear, with all the information you need easily accessible.

Cons: If you already use active directory, you can do the task without needing this software.

Pros: Easy to use, user friendly, and the page is clear

Cons: little bit too slow to adopt, have to learn it.

Pros: It makes for easy reporting and quick action on ad objects

Cons: The reports could be more customizable. It has a learning curve and the support isn't that great.

Pros: The built-in reports are a big help for compliance and audits, saving time on manual tracking.

Cons: The interface can feel a bit outdated at times,and some advanced features require extra configuration, which can take a while to set up.
