IT Enterprise System Administrator at Nafeza

Provides wide options for multifactor authentication with very simple implementation

We struggled with the end users because most don't have the required IT background. They needed password resets for emails and accounts in the active directory. This created an issue for the help desk, and the system and ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus gave us a QR solution for the end users. Once an account is set up, you scan the QR code through Google authentication, Microsoft authentication or any program that can authenticate with the QR. You'll automatically generate a code that gives the port to reset or unlock your account very easily.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Due to ransomware and novel threats, we can no longer allow people to gain domain admin access to our servers with only a username and password. With MFA, they must supply a one-time password sent to them via some authenticator, like Microsoft or Google Authenticator. It could be a text message."

"Monitoring is one of the most valuable features for us."

"One of the most valuable features is the self-service capability. I"

"Having multifactor authentication in Windows machines."

"The solution enables agents to reset their passwords."

"It's very simple to manage and implement. Its functions are straightforward. You get all the basic features, such as you get the option to unlock the user account if it is locked. You can enforce password policies, and you also have the option to allow them to reset their passwords if they forget it. These were the basic requirements of my company that we could achieve through this product."

"The solution provides wide options for multifactor authentication."

"The most valuable feature is the ability for remote users to change their login credentials using their mobile devices."

"The support from the customer service team is good, they respond on time, and they always seem to be quite knowledgeable."

"It is very safe and we haven't had any security issues."

"The auditing feature is particularly valuable as it makes privileged account usage auditable."

"The security provided is very enhanced and it does a great job of keeping passwords safe."

"The tool is secure, safe, reliable, and easy to use."

"ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is cheaper than other products, such as BeyondTrust, and is more than 50% cheaper compared to the Boomer solution we used before."

"It is user-friendly. Someone who doesn’t have a lot of IT knowledge can work with the product easily."

Cons

"The registration process could be improved. It should be easier for users to register for the service."

"The price must be reduced."

"We need more reports for visualization."

"The worst part is that the solution can only be installed or updated on a device if it is physically connected to the local network."

"They could improve their security of the products to prevent vulnerabilities."

"There is a lack of specific information provided by the analytics portion of the software."

"Could be simplified, not user-friendly."

"There is room for improvement in making the UI more user-friendly."

"It's a pretty technical solution. It's designed for more technical people."

"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."

"The user interface could be improved and made more user friendly."

"The support for the PAM product is not very prompt."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Using this solution costs us about $1,200 USD per year."

"You purchase the license for one time, and you can use it for a lifetime. The only thing is that in order to get support, you need to upgrade your product to the latest solution. You need to keep a support contract with them for which you have to pay some amount. It's a very small amount for renewing their support contract. Overall, it's very cost-effective."

"On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive and five being competitive, I would rate the pricing of this solution as a five."
