I use ADManager Plus to more effectively and efficiently manage our AD environment, and share some of the tasks with our HR department. We all know the built-in Microsoft AD tools are rudimentary and severely lacking. ADManager takes AD management and puts it on steroids. everything you wish you could do, and think that you *should* be able to do, you can with ADManager plus.
Pros
Built-in Queries
Built-in Reports
Delegation of tasks with enforces roles
Searching and viewing AD Objects quickly
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

I am still learning the software but the user and computer reports are helpful. I am looking to utilize the Goup and OU reports along with the GPO reports. There is an application what requires user accounts to be uploaded weekly. This has been a huge time saver to enable us to automate the process.
Pros
users reports
computer reports
group reports
Cons
I would like to be notified of any training available
I have given HR access to this product to stream line our user provisioning process. We created user templates that automatically add users to respective groups.
I also use this product extensively in my department to run reports for computers that haven't logged in for a certain period of time, determine which user accounts can be deactivated, etc.
Pros
Develops user interface
Support/feature request
Runs on prem, updates are easy to apply
Cons
I'd prefer perpetual pricing
It could be easier to create new user templates

We mostly use this for user provisioning, it was easy to give HR access to the application while not opening up active directory. It's user interface simplifies the process.
We are a school district with over 6,000 students, it's easy to create a CSV file and mass update all students simultaneously.
I don't think this product would be useful for smaller organizations, you could simply run a powershell script to pull data from your domain controller.

Our organization was having a problem with our various technicians in the creation of new users. Account names were misspelled, incorrect OU assignment and missed group membership to name a few. We purchased ADManager Plus to help us streamline this process and reduce the human error factor. I am happy to say that this application worked perfectly and helped my company immensely (my headaches too).
Pros
Easy to use
Easy to install
Helpful support team
Nice reporting features
Worth the cost
Cons
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.

ADManager is perfectly suited for reducing the human error in account creation. The templates I needed to create for this were easy and I was done within a couple of days. I am happy to sign that account creation errors has been near zero since the roll out of this application. I look forward to using more of its functionality
