Business challenges

  • Cumbersome IT reporting: Ingevity's IT team found it difficult to extract tangible reports on its AD environment using native tools.
  • Bulk user management: The organization faced roadblocks in executing bulk tasks related to AD administration.

The problem

Ingevity's existing IT administrative system was riddled with strenuous and complex processes. According to Cory Anderson, the director of information security at Ingevity, his IT team faced difficulties generating reports using native Microsoft tools, which required complex scripting knowledge to extract specific information. Furthermore, being an organization of over 2000 employees, Ingevity struggled to perform high-volume tasks, such as AD user creation, modification, GPO management, for instance.

The solution

After a thorough period of evaluation, Ingevity's decision-makers found ADManager Plus, ManageEngine's identity governance and administration solution, to be an ideal solution to address the organization's identity management needs. Post implementing ADManager Plus, Anderson's team was able to generate granular reports of its AD environment from the intuitive GUI within a shorter period of time. This helped his team offset the need for Powershell to get any AD-related information.

"The reports are great. They are easy to generate, read, and export."

Anderson also noted that his team faced no technical difficulties throughout their journey with ADManager Plus. On behalf of Ingevity's IT leadership, Anderson emphasized how ADManager Plus is the perfect solution for the organization.

"I think ADManager Plus is one of the best on the market. I did an evaluation of many different solutions and this one fit our needs and was at a good price point."
