    Any environment that runs on AD needs ADManager Plus. They have already built-in 95% of the queries and reports you will need. It provides a great window into your AD environment. The interface is very intuitive and for any reports or queries that aren't already packaged the product makes them easy to build

    • It is very good in the bulk user creation. With this tool, we can create a number of users in just a few minutes rather than following a long old process.
    • It is good for bulk user account modification. You can select a lot of users and make changes as per the requirements.
    • ManageEngine ADManager Plus is helping us a lot in the report generation of user accounts, passwords, groups, and other reports that are helping us a lot.
    • This tool also helps us with mailbox creation and shared mailbox creation

    • The standard version is useless for a larger company. Most have the Professional level to get the most out of the application but it is worth the cost.
    • Needs better integration with Office 365 and Microsoft Teams.

    Support for this software is not the greatest. If the software is not completely down, it can take up to a day to get a response back. However, once they do contact you they are friendly and helpful.

    My company already owned ADManager when I started with them. If I remember correctly, it was chosen because it is a fairly cheap tool and because we also use Manage Engine's Service Desk Plus application. ADManager's main competitor (in my eyes) would be PowerShell, now that I have become more proficient with scripting it is rare that I use ADManager except to create users using one of the templates we created. The standardization you get with the templates is really great, it could also be done using an XML file and PowerShell, but why fix what isn't broken?

    • The software is licensed per tech, the pricing is pretty solid.
    • Helpdesk tickets feel dramatically when we started using templates to create users
    • Helps to keep the network secure by knowing which old user accounts to delete
