Business challenges

  • Plastipak struggled to determine the root causes of lockout failures, resulting in prolonged troubleshooting processes.
  • The organization also lacked a comprehensive monitoring solution to track file activities, making it challenging to detect unauthorized file movements or deletions.

The Problem

Travis Ver Strate, the IT admin at Plastipak, struggled with effectively monitoring and tracking files that were being moved or deleted from the web server and file server. This lack of oversight posed a substantial risk to the company's data security and integrity, potentially leading to unauthorized access or loss of crucial information.

The outcome

ADAudit Plus proved to be an exceptional solution for Plastipak. "As part of ADAudit Plus, we are able to identify the reason for some lockouts, and we are also able to keep track of what files are being moved or deleted from our file server and web server," Ver Strate said. The IT team highly valued the comprehensive reports offered by ADAudit Plus and recognized the solution as one of the most useful tools they employ for AD auditing.

The ManageEngine support team further enhanced Plastipak's experience with ADAudit Plus. Ver Strate expressed satisfaction with the support received. "They are very helpful and have a good knowledge of the product as a whole," he said.

With an overall rating of seven and a high likelihood of recommending ADAudit Plus, Plastipak is confident in the product's capabilities and its potential to effectively address security compliance requirements.
