IT Enterprise System Administrator at Nafeza

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.

Technical Security Engineer & Data Governance at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

When I look at something like a server or a user who has an unsuccessful login, all they're giving me is what is from the domain controllers. When I click on the analytics portion that says give me information, it doesn't tell me what application is errored out. It doesn't tell me; it just tells me what is the same information from the domain controller. I'd like a little bit more robust information on actually giving me some useful information instead of some links that send me out to the Internet that says research here, and then I have to do additional research. It's kind of generic. And, basically, it's just a quick, I don't have to search through the domain controller logs, but once I pull those out, the logs are still very generic like you get from Microsoft. Area code four three one one. Okay. I had to go look that up. It doesn't take it any further than just a copy based on the domain controller.

For larger deployments like 200 users, additional licensing is necessary, but the overall cost remains reasonable and cost-effective.
