Advanced monitoring enhances user tracking that's cost-effective

I have been involved with this product for the last three years, participating in service and support within our company. We are currently supporting over 30 companies. This month, we deployed the solution for three companies, including two RMGs and one private bank in Bangladesh. The popularity of this product is due to its active directory monitoring abilities. Engineers can receive reports and log details within one to five seconds, which is essential for monitoring user activity swiftly and effectively. This product is very well-liked in Bangladesh due to user tracking, failed logins, and Jar reports for any Barna activity or execution. This solution's popularity extends through comprehensive auditing capabilities.

Has migrated user mailboxes and collaboration data with minimal challenges

I'm currently working with On Demand Migration solution from Quest. I am providing feedback regarding my experience with On Demand Migration. I have used automated scheduling in On Demand Migration. I can run immediate migration or schedule it as per my convenience, but I have used the run immediately option because I needed it on an urgent basis. The effectiveness of On Demand Migration detailed reporting in managing migration progress is quite good, as there is a report option where I can see what migration got successfully completed, which failed, and even the problem ID and event ID, allowing me to troubleshoot easily on the demand portal. I have not explored the data filtering options. I have not explored data filtering for filtering the data. In terms of data security, we are using independent DLP for data protection in our organization. I have not explored features such as AI functionality or additional security aspects, as I have explored only On Demand Migration for mailbox, Teams chat, Teams channel, and OneDrive. For O365 to O365, it's a very good and easy tool, so I can recommend anyone using O365 to O365 tenant migration to go with On Demand Migration. My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ADAudit saves you the expense of hiring an outside auditor for compliance with regulations like PCI DSS or PCA."

"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."

"The Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable."

"I rate this ten out of ten."

"ManageEngine ADAudit Plus provides real-time tracking capabilities through agent installation, which works in real-time to collect information and immediately alerts if anything matches the defined conditions in the application."

"It is not saving me money, but it is making me compliant."

"We are happy with this product; we use it for multiple purposes and we get a lot of useful information from it."

"Some of the most valuable features of ADAudit Plus are the granular parts of the reports fetched from Active Directory."

More ManageEngine ADAudit Plus pros

"They have a demo version that you can test before you purchase it so you can see that it does what you need before you commit financially."

"Quest allows you to customize your migration. For example, you can opt only to migrate Microsoft Teams and the related data or you can migrate all of Office 365. You can also choose to migrate accounts and mailboxes. Sometimes, we don't want to migrate SharePoint data, or we only want to migrate specific users."

"It's very easy to use. What I like is that if there is an error, for each task, I can find out what actually went wrong."

"The data is pretty secure."

"You can batch up large groups. You can tell it to move everything for 200 people, and then it just goes. Once you get things set and configured, it is pretty easy. I can hand it off to people more junior to me who are less trained on the product, and they can be successful."

"I don't think there's another tool in the market that covers the same scope that it covers."

"We can see the issues that may come up during migration. We can handle multiple workloads using this since it connects with Microsoft 365."

"Overall, it's a very good tool, and if I require another migration in the future, I will definitely go with this tool only."

Cons

"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."

"The return on investment for ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is very hard to measure."

"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."

"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."

"One problem with ADAudit is that it has too many configurations to apply to the active directory server, which makes it difficult to use."

"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."

"Some features require more external integration."

"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."

More ManageEngine ADAudit Plus cons

"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."

"It would be more useful if I could scope the dashboard. I would like to be able to scope the users that I want to see to a much smaller list. When I am looking into a tenant with 35,000 accounts, and I am only moving 2,000 of them, I wish that the guys had been smarter about the discovery, and I could have only discovered those accounts, but there is not too much to complain about."

"We had some issues with migrating Teams."

"They need to make the dashboard editable in the browser instead of only through CSV/scanning tenants."

"In terms of Microsoft Teams, the only disappointment for us has been how the chats are migrated."

"One significant issue that often elicited complaints during domain migration was the need to set the primary UPN for objects once they were migrated to the target."

"It's definitely the Microsoft Teams functionality that has a lot of aspects where improvements are needed. Microsoft 365 Groups are tightly connected to Teams and there are a lot of improvements needed there as well."

"Their support interface is not so great because you need to go through several links before you can raise the ticket. Sometimes the interface freezes up, and there is some downtime. They give us some notice. It says at the top of the interface that there will be scheduled maintenance in a given region or there is currently an outage. You can see upcoming downtime in the portal and plan accordingly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a medium-priced solution."

"My guess is that it was around $4,000 or $5,000 a year, and we bought a license, and then we have maintenance fees. I'm not 100% sure how that worked out."

"ADAudit Plus's pricing is affordable and flexible, with very low prices in the market."

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."

"Adding features and other functionality it costs you more. Also, the first installation costs an additional amount."

"The tool is affordable, and our company is very happy with it. If ten is the most expensive and one is the least expensive, I rate the tool a three or four."

"We are fine with the tool's pricing."

"The pricing is in line with other products."

"It is quite cheap. Previously, I used to work for a big company, and they get quite a good deal, and now, I'm working for a small company, and even they get quite a good deal. So, its pricing is quite fair."

"I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."

"The product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."

"The solution is on the more expensive side, when you compare it not only to BitTitan but to other tools in the cloud market. Of course, you receive things like Quest's support organization."

"I find the pricing to be cost-efficient for what you receive with the Quest product."

"It is more than fair for what you get."
