reasons why NHS trusts prefer ManageEngine AD360 over Quest Active Roles for NHS data security and compliance
All-in-one licensing: Avoiding fragmented AD tools and reducing NHS procurement complexity
AD360 offers comprehensive AD management—user provisioning, reporting, auditing, and more—in a single license with no surprise costs. Avoid fragmented Quest AD tools; AD360 is a unified AD management solution that makes evaluating and procuring tools easy for NHS organizations.
Faster implementation for NHS information governance and NHS DSPT mandates
AD360 deploys easily in hybrid AD environments. NHS IT teams can start automating user provisioning and managing compliance without extended setup cycles—accelerating alignment with NHS information governance requirements and NHS DSPT mandates.
Covers NHS identity needs out of the box
AD360 supports key NHS workflows like joiner-mover-leaver automation, hybrid AD user sync, and delegated administration without needing additional Quest AD tools or scripting.
Full user life cycle automation from day one
Unlike Quest, where provisioning and deprovisioning often require custom scripting or separate Quest AD management tools, AD360 offers built-in automation from onboarding to offboarding.
Granular auditing with NHS digital alignment: Meeting GDPR, NHS DSPT, and NHS data breach reporting requirements
AD360 includes detailed, customisable audit reports covering logons, group changes, and permission updates—helping meet GDPR, NHS DSPT, NHS data breach reporting requirements, and data security goals.
Unified platform, zero tool sprawl : Reducing NHS cybersecurity overhead for NHS trusts
AD360 eliminates the complexity of switching between separate tools. All identity operations are centralised—saving time, effort, and NHS cybersecurity overhead.
