Melden & Hunt improves file access visibility and strengthens employee accountability with DataSecurity Plus

About Melden & Hunt

Melden & Hunt is a full-service consulting, engineering, and surveying firm delivering infrastructure and development projects across multiple sectors. With a growing digital footprint and increasing reliance on shared file systems, maintaining visibility and accountability over critical data became essential.

Jacobo Hernandez, general manager at Melden & Hunt, oversees both operational and IT strategy, ensuring that the organization’s systems remain secure, efficient, and aligned with business needs.

The need for clear visibility into file activity

As Melden & Hunt expanded its operations, the organization faced a critical gap in file-level visibility. The team needed a reliable way to track user activity across file servers and identify who accessed, modified, moved, or deleted files.

Without this level of insight, investigating incidents or understanding data changes was time-consuming and uncertain. The organization required a solution that could provide:

Company

Industry

Engineering and Construction

Location

Texas, United States

Employees

100 - 500

  • Clear accountability for file activity
  • Real-time visibility into file changes
  • Reliable auditing for operational and security needs

DataSecurity Plus chosen for its simplicity, reliability, and the quality of support

While evaluating multiple IT solutions, Melden & Hunt found that other options either lacked ease of deployment or did not meet technical expectations during testing.

ManageEngine DataSecurity Plus ultimately stood out as the only solution that met their requirements after the team fully tested it in their environment. The decision was influenced not just by product capabilities, but by the quality of support and overall user experience.

After an initial evaluation, the team returned to DataSecurity Plus for a second deployment, this time moving forward with full implementation.

A smooth implementation with expert guidance

To accelerate deployment, Melden & Hunt leveraged ManageEngine’s onboarding services. With hands-on guidance from the implementation team, the setup process was streamlined and efficient.

With OnboardPro, Melden & Hunt benefited from:

  • Clear guidance during installation and configuration
  • Responsive communication and flexible scheduling
  • Faster time to value with minimal internal effort

This ensured the solution was aligned with their requirements from day one.

"The onboarding, installation, and communication were excellent. What seemed complex was made very easy by the team."

— Jacobo Hernandez, general manager, Melden & Hunt

Gaining control over file activity auditing and employee accountability

With DataSecurity Plus in place, Melden & Hunt achieved its primary objective: Full visibility into file-level activity.

The organization can now:

  • Identify exactly who deleted, moved, or renamed files
  • Monitor file activity across critical systems
  • Strengthen accountability across teams

This visibility has improved both operational confidence and incident response readiness, giving the team the clarity they previously lacked.

Hernandez ultimately rated his likelihood of recommending ManageEngine solutions at 9/10.

"My first requirement was to make sure that I can pinpoint the person that deleted, moved, or renamed a file and that requirement is completely fulfilled."

—Jacobo Hernandez, General Manager, Melden & Hunt

Key outcomes

  • Complete visibility into file activity across servers with immediate value
  • Improved accountability for user actions
  • Streamlined deployment with onboarding support
  • Strong satisfaction with product usability and support
  • Successful implementation with minimal complexity
