"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the control of the file server."
"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 Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable."
"The monitoring and reporting are extensive and we get all the information we need while they continue to enhance the capabilities of the product."
"It's pretty easy to manage, and quite easy to deploy."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."
"ADAudit Plus can be very tricky, especially if we need to do some high-availability configuration or distributed environment installation."
"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."
"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."
"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."
"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 GUI could be improved because this GUI was invented ten years ago, and now we have a modern user interface. This GUI is a bit older than expected in this market."
