Cons: Nothing at all, It helps organizations monitor user and system activities, detect threats, and satisfy compliance requirements through features like logon/logoff tracking, file access monitoring, and user behavior analytics (UBA). The tool extends its auditing capabilities to include cloud environments like Azure AD and supports a wide range of platforms and devices.

Pros: Generous free plan and the paid plans are very in depth and feature rich. Solid piece of software that integrates well and helps my team stay compliant and on top of tracking.

Cons: It is quite overwhelming when first using, there is definitely a steeper learning curve than your typical software.

Pros: The aspect of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus that I enjoyed the most is that it is simple to use and at the same time delivers thorough insights. The interface is very intuitive that I can tackle even very complicated audit requests without much effort. I particularly liked the variety of predefined reports; having those available saved me time and gave me a quick snapshot of user actions and changes to Active Directory. The alerts in real-time were also a big benefit, as they enabled me to detect and respond to situations before they became bigger issues.

Cons: One thing I liked least about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is that some advanced configuration options give you a feeling of being overwhelmed when you first try them. Getting acquainted with all the features and customizing the reports to your liking indeed takes a small amount of time. Additionally, the system can be somewhat sluggish at the start if the environment is large. It is not something that hinders the success of the product, but it does make you have to wait a bit in the beginning.

Pros: a ferramenta oferece monitoramento e relatórios extensos, com visibilidade ampla sobre alterações no Active Directory e servidores de arquivos

Cons: A configuração para cenários com alta disponibilidade ou distribuição entre servidores costuma dar bastante trabalho:

Pros: Easy integration into AD360 platform. Robust report building tool. Dashboard has a good about of customization options.

Cons: Performance could be improved. The GUI to build custom reports could be more streamlined. Perhaps include AI tools to auto build reports based on prompts.

Pros: Ease of use, once all the configuration parameters are entered, after that there are several of ready-made reports, which is always good for saving time

Cons: it is always slightly difficult to integrate some pieces, in every ManageEngine product, so many things are very simple, however sometimes with GPOs and other things you have to be careful

Pros: Provides a lot of useful tools for helping manage an active directory environment. Set up was easy and functions were easy to find.

Cons: I don't really have anything negative to say about the platform. I wish pricing was a little more transparent on the websites though.

Pros: The ease to manage all your estate and deploy patches without physical being there. Be by able to monitor your devices health and producing report for higher manager, in different things like user login, security group changes and creating custom reports.

Cons: I like the aspect of being able track changes to Active directory objects. Ability identity potential threats.

Pros: Great add on the the MEEC solution! The audit capabilities were an integral missing piece and now this will take the product to the next level.

Cons: It wasn't as robust as initially expected and the reporting was not customizable to the needs of our business intelligence requirements.

Pros: This software gives us valuable insights into what is occurring within out Active Directory environment.

Cons: I wish their were more reports and that there come some more custom reporting capabilities that what currently exists.

Pros: IADAudit Plus was very helpful at tracking user logon activity across our network as well as file access. By monitoring these events, we have already been tracking down some unusual patterns which may mean security threat, so we can act accordingly before it does any harm.​

Cons: One of the limitations was that native support for auditing non Windows file servers was not available. To have such intelligent coverage level of monitoring we had to implement extra tools which also lead further complexity.

Pros: ADAudit Plus has eliminated the need for the development of compliance reports since they offer templates based on different categories of compliance that include SOX, HIPAA, and GDPR. This feature has made it easier to prepare for compliance audits since it has been time-saving and effortless.​

Cons: The problem with little customizability was that formatting had to be done through exporting the data and modifying it.

Pros: With ADAudit Plus I can audit Active Directory changes deeply and get real-time alerts about the changes made to the user accounts or group membership, or any GPOs. Having this immediate visibility into these important changes has been a key factor in helping ensure we maintain a chronic level of security in our organization.

Cons: The integration was rather easy except that it required additional configuration for some third party SIEM solutions. This created more complexity during the first setup phase and we needed to further collaborate with our security team to let data flow without a hitch.​

Pros: With the integration of ADAudit Plus, we received rich compliance reports that were important to the audit. Real-time supervision of opened and modified files confirmed that we complied with the rules concerning the access to important files and data.​

Cons: The initial setup took some time to set it up to meet specific compliances that are relevant to us and our industry. Making customization to fit our needs was fine-tuned and taken with advisement to the support staff.​

Pros: The implementation of ADAudit Plus transformed our strategies for Active Directory auditing significantly. They offered us timely notifications whenever user made any unauthorized modification and the audit trail feature gave us insightful information of their activity.

Cons: I observed that generating some reports during business hours cause congestion hence slowing down of operations.

Pros: I like ManageEngine because we can have the logs from the AD

Cons: We don't receive every log we need to have a complet use case

Pros: It’s convenient and very easy to use. I highly recommend

Cons: There’s not much I can say that I don’t like about it

Pros: I’ve been using Ad audit for about six months. It’s a solid tool with a user friendly GUI and impressive live auditing, especially when it comes to file activity and monitoring. The dashboard makes it easy to drill down into events, improving visibility.

Cons: Setup was a bit tricky some manual config in Active Directory was needed for full integration. Updating the tool was a bit tricky as well.

Pros: What I liked most about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is that I could pull reports of risky logins and see who logged in from where when I needed to review a Risky login report.

Cons: The only feature I do not like much about ADAudit Plus is the fact that in my eyes alot fo the funcatlity can be done in a normal Azure dashboard.

Pros: This product has a lot of features for an AD admin, with 100s reports and the ability to create custom reports.

Cons: I'd like an immediate report of changes to Ad admin, but it seems to come at the same time each day regardless of any changes happening.

Pros: After installing the probe it took no time at all for the data to be ready to audit

Cons: Sometime the reports didn't give you the exact data you wanted.

Pros: I love how I can integrate this tool with other external to check the login and access controls

Cons: It's costly and if it can be made cheaper the better
