"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is its reports."
"The documentation for this solution is good."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to implement, and its reporting is great."
"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."
"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."
"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."
"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."
"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."
"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."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
