Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is its reports.""It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs.""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.""We use the product to track events and monitor logs of servers and workstations. I am impressed with the tool's tracking ability. It is intuitive and easy to use.""The documentation for this solution is good.""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 Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable."

"Salesforce Identity is a very user-friendly solution.""The most valuable features are the pipeline management, being able to track the pipeline anytime, and the ability to get in touch with our high management team or board members.""The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall.""The user experience was great because it had all the features that the client needed. It was fully customized for the client, and it was very simple. It was the best solution at that time."

Cons
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand.""Sometimes the developers in technical support take time.""There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need.""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.""The initial setup was difficult.""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.""The solution's managing file server activity could be improved.""ADAudit Plus can be very tricky, especially if we need to do some high-availability configuration or distributed environment installation."

"Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person.""The interface should be simplified and the dashboard has a lot of options but could be improved.""Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application.""The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms."
