ManageEngine ADManager Plus

Vorteile

The automation features. We could script our onboarding in powershell have it work. But being able to configure all the various job titles and have it add O365 licensing, groups, teams in MS Teams and phone numbers with a few clicks is SOOOO much easier to make happen.

Nachteile

There was just too many features for us and I feel like we were leaving a lot on the table for the specific features we needed.

Vorteile

ADME give the full fledged experience of native AD & O365 along with reports facility which is very useful in terms of managing the users/computers /organization resources & be up to date on it.

Nachteile

Some of the features like favorites & identity search are not compatible in ADME & its implementing process with organization AD & resources are very hectic & lengthy.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

The interface can feel a bit outdated at times,and some advanced features require extra configuration, which can take a while to set up.

Vorteile

Ease of use, additional features, quick deploy of AD resources

Nachteile

On Prem set up took some time and deployment resources

Vorteile

Managing AD accounts has never been easier! Previously, I dealt with the hassle of using AD directly and juggling various scripts just to create new accounts in our system. The onboarding process was a tedious affair for years until we made the switch to ManageEngine. It's like a breath of fresh air – tasks are now smoother and much easier to handle. Highly recommended

Nachteile

The GUI could be more polished and I did run across the occasional error with web layout and timing out

Vorteile

The user-friendly interface and extensive range of features make managing AD much simpler.

Nachteile

The reporting feature could be more customizable and the interface could be more modern.

Vorteile

The software is really user-friendly and simplifies the management of AD user accounts and groups. It saves me a lot of time.

Nachteile

I wish the software had more advanced automation features and better reporting capabilities. It would make my job even easier.

Vorteile

The software has a user-friendly interface and simplifies user management tasks, saving time and effort.

Nachteile

Integration with other tools could be improved, and the reporting features need to be more customizable.

Vorteile

The UI is intuitive and the automation features save me time and effort.

Nachteile

I wish it had more customizable reporting options and better mobile support.

Vorteile

The ease of generating reporting on Active Directory for compliance purposes

Nachteile

Does require more operational maintenance than a SaaS solution

Vorteile

Tienes todo a la mano en una sola pantalla, administras, reporteas, graficas, todo

Nachteile

La verdad es muy buena herramienta lastima que el producto tiene un costo elevado y eso lo hace menos accesible

Vorteile

Es una herramienta muy completa, agiliza los procesos de gestión de usuarios. Sus reportes son muy completos, amigables y super útiles.

Nachteile

Hasta el momento no he entrado nada que no me haya gustado

Vorteile

The most important feature of this product is having the ability to do bulk user management and file server permission management.

Nachteile

The Professional tier is a little expensive compared to the standard tier but other than that I don't see anything else.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

ADMP is quick and simple to set-up. The ability to make AD-related change through a web portal has brought convenience to IT. ADMP makes generating reports and collecting information through forms convenient and simple. For our small IT department, ADMP allows for many different IT backgrounds to participate fully in supporting AD-related management operations without having to be well versed in Windows, or to know Powershell. ADMP has also made synchronizing our cloud and on-premise environments through automation simple and organized. Their support staff has been very courteous in resolving our issues. Issues that are brought to their attention are genuinely acted on with importance. On more complex issues, they actively reach out to us update us on the status of the problem until it's resolved.

Nachteile

The UI is outdated, and the mobile app is a underwhelming. There are some arbitrary limitations that seemingly pop up out of nowhere, but generally there are ways to work around them, but they leave you scratching your head why? In some parts of the UI you can use %substitute% variables, but then in others you can not for seemingly no reason.

I really wish they would go "all in" on making their template system even more robust. AD and on-prem services aren't the only thing we have to worry about updating, and many cloud services don't have native LDAP/AD integrations, being able to collect information in templates to provide information through scripts for these services would make this product AAA. Currently, you can collect some information, but the customization options for the fields is limited to only a single line, whereas you should be able to pick many different field types (dropdown, radio button, etc) for making changes.

Vorteile

When we recently implemented Active Directory, we needed a management tool that would allow our System Admins to make changes for users and groups, but not have direct access to the Domain Controllers. Anyone I reached out to for recommendations referred me to ADManager Plus, and I am now one of the users who refers this solution as well.

It was incredibly easy to implement, and is easy to learn to use (both for me and my less technical colleagues who have to use it). Support staff from Zoho was on hand to help install the software and get it up and running, and we had it up and running within about an hour.

Whenever I have had any issues, the Zoho support team has been able to figure it out in a very short period of time. The fact that it ties in with other Zoho AD tools (Self Service Plus, ADAudit Plus, etc) is a huge plus - we were able to take advantage of bundling pricing to make things more reasonable for us.

There are also regular updates to the tool to take advantage of new functionality and security updates, which help ease my Security teams' minds.

Nachteile

My only negative is that it can sometimes take a while to get a hold of a support person when there is an issue. I have waited a couple of days in the past (mid-week, not over a weekend). It appears they have outsourced their support staff, which may contribute to the problem of having a wide window of coverage, but I expect better from a large company like Zoho who has such great products. On top of that, the information on the customer forums is not usually useful or correct - so I have avoided it entirely since a few botched attempts early on.

Vorteile

This has made complicated AD reports a thing of the past. Once I got the hang of creating automated reports, this quickly became my favorite AD tool. I also use it for user and group management, which is also much easier than doing from a Domain Controller.

Nachteile

There is a bit of a learning curve, and the little bit of documentation that there is leaves a lot to be desired. I often have to call support for more complicated inquiries.

Vorteile

It is very simple and easy to implement, it also allows the management, loading and updating of bulk data.

Nachteile

The solution is very cheap compared to its scope

Vorteile

The tool can effectively manage the Active directory objects for bulk management and user friendly GUI supports us to create the bulk users, groups, OU etc.,

Nachteile

The integration with O365 and reporting is not that much good when compare to on premises management of AD. Support is very worst on manage engine tools need to be improved.

Vorteile

Seamlessly integrates with O365 and our Azure AD infrastructure. Easy to delegate administrative duties to other administrative personnel. Available out of box reports are helpful for everyone and provide insight into our environment.

Nachteile

At times, searching can be somewhat cumbersome as the loading of information based on a search or report can lag. Occasionally, you need to perform a refresh or resync within the interface to get the most current data.

Vorteile

Using this app to create new user accounts - it uses templates which can set a lot of changeable default field values, based on various criteria (such as department). We use the API to automate a lot of processes from our helpdesk software so we can click a button on a ticket and the action can place users in AD groups for example for various permissions (after approval). We don't even need to log into the app to do this.

We also use the API to auto-disable user accounts and add expiry dates to leavers from info taken automatically from our payroll system.

The auditing reports are great as we can easily find out who changed something and when.

Nachteile

It's not ideal for bulk technician management - sometimes adding one OU to multiple users can result in replacing the permission instead of adding it. The MFA option to remember the code for 180 days simply doesn't work (it asks for the code every day but it's not a showstopper).

Vorteile

Allows you to see all directories especially if you service or support multiple groups in AD
Simple to use, takes time to adjust if your used to the native window
Great to use if you domain has many groups that need to be separated

Nachteile

Bogged server
Some issues on errors
functions like it does on the DC except more easier to read

Vorteile

The most loved feature is you are able to make bulk modifications to the Active Directory using ManageEngine AD Manager Plus.

Nachteile

When it comes to cloud based architectures like Office 365, it is better if integration with Office 365 can be made easy.

Vorteile

Lots of reports: users, groups, local and 365;
Isolate managers quick and easy, so they have all options limited by the OU or OUs that the have permission to manage;
No longer need to access from server;
May create approval flows to pass through managers, and specific people before the user is automatically created, and based on templates.

Vorteile

Very easy to install, and you have really useful AD reports.

Nachteile

Automation never worked for me, you can make good automation for the daily task if you learn more about PowerShell which will be really helpful, you may not need to buy the software

Vorteile

The reporting is incredible. Custom reports can be created but most canned reports suffice for most institutions.

Nachteile

It takes a bit to learn the in's and out's of the software, but once you've done that you're golden.

Vorteile

Automation and reporting functions let us improve our service level but spend less time doing routine tasks. Totally granular permission assignment capability. Rules-based templates, very customizable. Continually improving and adding new features. And there are frequent free online training sessions that improve our knowledge of the product's capabilities. Their tech support is very good to work with, very quick to respond.

Nachteile

The only problem I can think of is getting an invoice from Manage Engine in the form needed by our finance department so we could pay the maintenance bill.

Vorteile

The price of entry was really cheap and it's very useful, has many functions included for AD management and reporting.

Nachteile

Haven't really found anything I don't like about the software yet.

Vorteile

complex reporting and task are made very easy with Ad manager plus and it is one of the product helping me a lot with daily tasks.

Nachteile

Regular updates should be provided to make it fully utilized and more reporting options should be provided

Vorteile

This software allows me to quickly and easily manage hundreds of users with only a few clicks. Rather than time-consuming Powershell scripts, I can make many templates and apply that template to bulk users.

Nachteile

Many features are grouped into the Pro license. My particular usage would benefit from a few of those features, but the added cost of the higher license level is not justifiable for the small amount of additional features I would actually use.

Vorteile

Live the fact you can search across multiple domains in one shot versus the one domain at a time approach through the traditional AD console. Vast reporting features, simplified the needs for any request to see information for various levels in organization.

Nachteile

Can be slow in IE. Reporting features should allow a little more fine tuning. Custom re Let's beeds to be tuned to allow for more searching features.

Vorteile

ManageEngine ADManager Plus is one of the most comprehensive platform for GDPR compliance requirements.

Nachteile

Our experience so far with ManageEngine ADManager Plus is absolutely positive, no negative aspects to note here.

Vorteile

I like that this product changes quickly to accommodate changes made by MS. I like the reporting. I like bulk create/modify options.

Nachteile

I don't like that searching for users isn't available for all user fields. Would love to see a browse (tree) option for user management, similar to ADUC.

Vorteile

Reporting functionality makes it easy to find which tech is responsible for changes made across all the location and domain while not having to give elevated privileges and accounts on each domain.

Nachteile

Support is a little lacking in that there is not a way to track your open tickets and trying to get ahold of the tech you previously worked with is just not possible most of the time.

Vorteile

By far the automation of new accounts and reports are invaluable. We have saved countless hours and ROI with the automation and reporting modules.

Nachteile

I wish there was a way to migrate accounts to "O365". Currently, I use your application to create my account on-premise with email through your automation, but there is no way to successfully migrate to "O365".

Vorteile

ADManager Plus enables us to make bulk changes to AD, create users using templates and delete users including all data. It has a lot of options to customize it to your needs.

Nachteile

Sometimes it does not show search results and needs a reboot, or a patch. Patching is not easy, it uses a Java based updater and a custom database.

Vorteile

It makes working with bulk users in active directory easy, I have used it to import a large number of students to our active directory system, also used to make modification to large number of users. It is easy to use and understand.

Nachteile

The cost is high and my IT Director won't pay for it, so I am stuck using the free version (which does what I need it to , but there is so much more that can be done with it).

Vorteile

The application is easy to use.
The chat function to get technical support is great.
They constantly has new functions to provide to users.

Nachteile

The website interface ManageEngine AD360 can be more user friendly. Jumping from one module to another may not always works.

Vorteile

Easy to install and setup
Vast amounts of data entry options for your users

Nachteile

User interface looks a bit dated compared to ManageEngine's other offerings.

Vorteile

ease of use and one stop do all of daily tasks. Integration with 365, reports and alerts when users are added.

Nachteile

more integration with office 365. More control with 365 exchange. Automated tasks of user creation and delectation could be improved.

Vorteile

All ManageEngine products are easy to use. Technical Support is great and provides solutions to problems on first call

Nachteile

There are no cons to any of the products I have evaluated. All of the tools are easy to use and affordable.

Vorteile

Really appreciate tech support's time, efforts and expertise. This software is able to provide technicians to work on active directory, email, Skype for business, reports and many other options.

Vorteile

As an application administrstor I use ADManager Plus mainly to make reports of users in different AD groups to check against licenses. Also to add or delete users from these groups.
I can use it over more than one domain which I find extremeley helpful.

Nachteile

I have never had a problem using this software, I find it extremeley intuitive. Obviously I don't use it to its full extent, but this software fits my needs.

Vorteile

Upgrades, ease of use, If you do have any issues this is the best software I have ever seen offering support. I would recommend to any company with an active directory environment. Thank you so much for all that you do.

Nachteile

Not much that I do not like.. It is helping implement our security into our active directory. Maybe the cost but honestly I think it is worth every penny

Vorteile

ROI is quick, and the support is easy to get to, not hidden like some companies. You can get to help from right inside some of the products.

Nachteile

The only bad thing is they do not make more products for us to enjoy like the half dozen we already have!

Vorteile

Nuestra empresa esta buscando un software que nos permita administrar lo referido al dominio, esta es fácil de usar con una interfaz muy amigable, y si fu posible llegar a nuestro objetivo con ManageEngine ADManager Plus.

Nachteile

Fue algo complicado llegar a nuestro objetivo que fue poder implementar ManageEngine ADManager Plus. al final con trabajo en equipo llegamos a sacar el mas provecho.

Vorteile

the software is OK.

Nachteile

the software is not bad, but if you get an issue it takes support at least a week to answer any calls logged, they repeatedly ask for logs even when you have sent them, buy another product as these guys are a waste of space

Vorteile

This software lets me make mass changes to users and get reports from my AD very easily. Lots easier than trying to use scripting.

Nachteile

maybe need a few more reporting options like on security.

Vorteile

The functionality and value is huge. It allows me to better manage my users, and makes it much easier to apply changes to a group.

Nachteile

It's not very intuitive. It can do a lot, but the learning curve is steep. I've had to contact support several times for "how to" assistance.

Vorteile

Active directory left untouched , automate and streamline AD tasks with little scripting knowledge, simple user interface

Nachteile

AD managerplus is heading the right direction with feature being added on a regular basis , i have absolutely no hiccups thus far in my usage .

Vorteile

We use this software mainly for user creation. The ability to create users for both AD and Office 365 in one step is helpful. The interface is very user-friendly. Both single and bulk user creation works really well. Reporting is well thought out.

Nachteile

The Copy User Attributes function only copies Active Directory information. It would be great if it could copy a user's Office 365 setup (License type, Distribution Group membership, etc.) along with Active Directory information.
