"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"I like the user behavior analytics (UBA). It's a machine learning feature that creates a standard profile for each user when you install it. It creates a baseline for every user, so it can detect when anyone deviates from that standard baseline profile. For example, if a user typically logs in at 9:30 am and logs out at 6 pm, ADAudit will flag it as an anomaly when that same logs in after normal hours and alert the admins."
"The most valuable feature is the control of the file server."
"The monitoring and reporting are extensive and we get all the information we need while they continue to enhance the capabilities of the product."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is its reports."
"The Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable."
"The documentation for this solution is good."
"ADAudit Plus's best features are that it's very easy to use with a user-friendly interface, and it gives reports on group policy and object changes that we couldn't find in any other product."
"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."
"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."
"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."
"The solution should include more details on file creation and modification. It also needs to have a quick message for troubleshooting problems which needs to be detailed and generic."
"ADAudit could have a more sophisticated interface design. They are using a plain UI, which is decent. However, customers have said that it looks a little flat compared to other vendors. It's not fancy."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."
"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."
"Its configuration can be better. There were 44 pages of documented notes of what I had to do to get the product to work during the installation process."
