ManageEngine ADManager Plus

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.

• The built-in reports and queries are invaluable. You simply won't have this information in a vanilla AD environment.
• The ease that you can access the information you need about your environment is outstanding. You can access the information you need quickly so you can make better decisions on managing your business.
• The ability to easily designate techs with limited access is great. This offloads menial administration duties from your higher level techs so your not paying high level folks to do redundant tasks.

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.

• It has added to our security portfolio
• Automating a weekly process
• Allows us to deep dive into permissions

To begin with, we needed a product that would import a CSV file into Active Directory to update our users information. This has done this for us without an issue for 4+ years.

Additionally, realizing the product does much more than that, we have leveraged it for user reports, computer reports, etc. This has helped with every day tasks and keeping AD updated and clean.

• Utilizes time better
• management of accounts
• Increase the speed of creating accounts, spending less time on those and focusing on other things.

We are using ManageEngine AD Manager Plus to automate the AD related tasks and to generate reported related to the Active Directory. We are creating users in just a few click rather than following a lot of steps in active directory and without log in to the active directory server. With this tool, we are modifying user properties in very simple steps. With this tool, you can generate different type of password reports, user reports and different account reports. You can set up notification for password expiry and this tool will send automatic email before the password expire. With this tool, we can see the enabled and disabled accounts, steal accounts and accounts that has been disabled in organization but we can still see their account information here. We can manage groups and mailbox as well in this tool. So, basically it is saving our lot of time and resources and making life easy for admin team.

• It has a positive impact in our business in terms of resource and time management.
• It is reducing our time to resolve a user, password, group and mailbox related queries.
• It is reducing our time in bulk modification.
• It is helping us in the Auditing as it can generate multiple types of reports in just a few clicks.

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.

• 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
