Like most organizations around the globe, Lane4 was also looking to transition to the cloud and take advantage of the various opportunities that being in a cloud environment provides. As the first step, Lane4 moved to a hybrid setup that included both on-premises Active Directory (AD) and Office 365.
They soon found that using different passwords for AD and Office 365 increased the number of password reset calls to the help desk. To combat this, they decided to deploy a solution that would synchronize users’ on-premises AD passwords with their Office 365 accounts.

Having rejected DirSync from the start, one of the first solutions Lane4 looked at was ADSelfService Plus, ManageEngine's self-service password management tool. In their search for a suitable solution, they found that ADSelfService Plus catered to their specific problems. The ability to synchronize AD passwords with Office 365 in real time turned out to be perfect for their needs.

Even though the password synchronizer was the major factor that influenced Lane4 to decide on ADSelfService Plus, it was not the only factor. The cost-efficient nature of the product, coupled with ManageEngine's excellent customer service, made ADSelfService Plus the final choice.

ADSelfService Plus' password synchronizer satisfied all of Lane4's requirements to a T. In addition to synchronizing users' AD passwords with their Office 365 accounts without having to use DirSync, it also allowed users to reset their own passwords if they ended up forgetting them.
Soon after deploying ADSelfService Plus, Lane4 noticed that their users took a shine to the product.
