Identity and Access Management Manager at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
Simplifies the task of managing groups and is affordable and easy to implement
I'd like to see it be able to do more than just groups. I'd like it to be able to do some things with email distribution lists as well. It can do that, but there were a few things that were limiting. It was difficult to get it set up, particularly with Azure in the cloud. I'd like that to be a little bit smoother. 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. We've got a ton of groups, and it does take quite a while to do nightly processing. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

User management becomes efficient and installation is straightforward
My primary use case for ADManager is to manage users and groups, perform group policy without logging into Active Directory, and provide easy and secure management and monitoring capabilities. One of my clients uses ADManager for these purposes With ADManager, I can easily complete any Active…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system, and based on that job code, we use the query tool so 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, which runs every night so that the next day everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"The most valuable features of the solution are vulnerability management and system patching functionalities."
"The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"Technical support from ManageEngine is very satisfactory."
"With ADManager, I can easily complete any Active Directory tasks from anywhere, making it an excellent solution."
"Reporting is the most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADManager Plus and is highly usable."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"The product helps to validate every activity."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Some things are not very intuitive."
"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."
"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"The main downside is that, for my environment, I must have two products to conduct the same purpose."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"All of it needs to be improved. It has corrupted my environment."
"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools. For example, Workday is supported but SAP HCM is not."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."
"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"It is not expensive."
