Find out in this report how the two Active Directory Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"It makes our job easier, especially for managing data for a bulk of users."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"Simple with good automation."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. They allow me to see everything in real-time and drill down and pick and choose versus running scripts."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, the ability for us to customize the access privileges for the users, and integration with ServiceDesk Plus."
"In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"The solution is stable."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"The most valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and creating dynamic groups based on AD attributes."
"Secure access is the most valuable feature."
"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"Some things are not very intuitive."
"There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."
"With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"Another issue we have with the product is that we run a lot of custom tasks. You have to program them to run on one particular host and there's no automatic failover to a second host. If that host is down when a task is supposed to run, it has to wait until the next time it runs when that host is up."
"The user and group management in Azure AD could be better. Our focus these days is dynamic sharing with several on-prem Microsoft applications like SharePoint."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
