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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."

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

"I rate this ten out of ten."

"The documentation for this solution is good."

"This solution's popularity extends through comprehensive auditing capabilities."

"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 monitoring and reporting are extensive and we get all the information we need while they continue to enhance the capabilities of the product."

"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."

More ManageEngine ADAudit Plus pros

"It addresses environmental problems related to user authentication protocols like NTLM and ELSA."

Cons

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

"There is room for improvement, especially in the standard professional edition. Some features require more external integration."

"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."

"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."

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

"I consider the pricing for ADAudit Plus a bit high compared to other software solutions, so I would rate it around two or three on the pricing scale."

"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."

More ManageEngine ADAudit Plus cons

"The product's technical support services could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."

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