Before implementing ADAudit Plus, monitoring AD changes was a tedious and manual process. Jawwad Ahmed, the Assistant Manager IT at DP World's Karachi division, explained, “Tracking changes in Active Directory was really hectic. After deploying ADAudit Plus, we could easily track changes in real time.”
The IT team lacked an insights-driven mechanism to review and audit changes happening within the organization's IT environment, making it difficult to establish an audit trail for compliance and investigation purposes. The organization also needed real-time alerts for AD group modifications, ensuring that unauthorized or accidental changes were flagged immediately.
DP World implemented ADAudit Plus, ManageEngine's UBA-powered IT auditing solution, which transformed AD monitoring and auditing by providing insights about its AD, file servers, and workstations in a unified console, including helping the IT team track changes made to AD groups.
Ahmed remarked the centralized capabilities by noting, “We get all changes on the main dashboard, which is very helpful. ADAudit Plus provides detailed information and complete tracking of user accounts.” Ahmad went on to note how ADAudit Plus' comprehensive library of 200+ canned reports helped his IT team get consistent insights: "Reports are very effective, we could scheduled daily weekly and monthly reports with respect of user account, group policy and OU."
Adding more to the actionability of ADAudit Plus' capabilities, DP World's IT team uses the solution to configure alerts to notify sensitive actions, such as moving a user profile gets from one group to another. Ahmed praised ADAudit Plus as a remarkable product, stating, “[ADAudit Plus is] a remarkable product, auditing feature is marvellous, it saves our time and efforts in getting the detail track of changes in active directory.”
