Please enter the following details to see how much
time and money you can save with AD360.
Working principles
The potential cost and time savings are calculated by comparing the money and time spent on actions using native tools with the money and time spent on the same actions using AD360.
Standard values
- The assumed time taken to reset a password is 10 minutes (0.17 hours).
- The assumed time taken to onboard or offboard a user using AD360 is 1.3 minutes (0.022 hours), based on test conditions.
- The assumed time spent on AD management and reporting functions using AD360 is 1/10 of the time spent on the same functions using native tools, based on test conditions.
- The assumed time taken to generate an audit report using AD360 is 10 seconds (0.003 hours).
- The assumed number of working days per year is 260.
- The assumed number of password resets for applications other than AD is one per employee per year.
- The potential savings by deploying MFA is USD 4,13,250. This value has been calculated based on the standard cost of a data breach and the percentage of data breaches that are due to password-related issues (as determined by this study).
Formulas used
Formulas for native tools
- Total cost of manual user onboarding and offboarding = Number of users onboarded and offboarded per year * Average time taken to onboard or offboard a user (in hours) * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians
- Total cost of manual AD management and reporting = Average time spent on AD management and reporting tasks per month (in hours) * 12 months * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians
- Total cost of manual password resets = [Average number of AD password reset tickets per month * 12 months * Assumed time taken to reset a password (in hours) * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians] + [Assumed number of password resets for applications other than AD * Assumed time taken to reset a password (in hours) * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians]
- Total cost of auditing and compliance management using native tools = Average number of audit reports generated per work day * Average time taken to generate a change report using native tools (in hours) * Assumed number of working days per year * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians
- Total time spent on manual user onboarding and offboarding = Number of users onboarded and offboarded per year * Average time taken to onboard or offboard a user (in minutes)
- Total time spent on manual AD management and reporting = Average time spent on AD management and reporting tasks per month (in minutes) * 12 months
- Total time spent on manual password resets = (Average number of AD password reset tickets per month * 12 months * Assumed time taken to reset a password (in minutes)) + (Assumed number of password resets for applications other than AD * Assumed time taken to reset a password (in minutes))
- Total time spent on auditing and compliance management using native tools = Average number of audit reports generated per work day * Average time taken to generate a change report using native tools (in minutes) * Assumed number of working days per year
Formulas for AD360
- Total cost of user onboarding and offboarding using AD360 = Number of users onboarded and offboarded per year * Assumed time taken to onboard or offboard a user using AD360 (in hours) * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians
- Total cost of AD management and reporting using AD360 = (Average time spent on AD management and reporting tasks per month (in hours) / 10) * 12 months * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians
- Total cost of password resets using AD360 = Zero
- Total cost of auditing and compliance management using AD360 = Average number of audit reports generated per work day * Assumed time taken to generate an audit report using AD360 (in hours) * Assumed number of working days per year * Average hourly wage of IT admins and help desk technicians
- Total time spent on user onboarding and offboarding using AD360 = Number of users onboarded and offboarded per year * Assumed time taken to onboard or offboard a user using AD360 (in minutes)
- Total time spent on AD management and reporting using AD360 Average time spent on AD management and reporting tasks per month (in minutes) * 12 months / 10
- Total time spent on password resets using AD360 = Zero
- Total time spent on auditing and compliance management using AD360 = Average number of audit reports generated per work day * Assumed time taken to generate an audit report using AD360 (in minutes) * Assumed number of working days per year
- Total cost saved by using AD360 = Total cost of using native tools – (Total cost of using AD360 + AD360 licensing)
- Total time saved by using AD360 = Total time spent when native tools are used – Total time spent when AD360 is used
- ROI = (Total cost saved by using AD360 / AD360 licensing) * 100%
- Break-even time = AD360 licensing / (Total cost saved by using AD360 / 365)
