Business challenges

Decisive Solutions' clients wanted strong reporting on what was happening inside their Active Directory environments: which accounts were being locked out, what changes were being made to accounts and Group Policy Objects, and where security threats might be emerging. Without a dedicated auditing tool, delivering that visibility consistently across multiple client environments was difficult, and problems such as recurring authentication failures tended to surface only after users had been affected.

The solution

"My clients have wanted to have great reporting on account lockouts, account and GPO changes, and security threats."

Larry Heier of Decisive Solutions

Decisive Solutions adopted ManageEngine ADAudit Plus as its tool for auditing client Active Directory environments. The product's main dashboard summarizes bad logins, lockouts, and changes to Group Policy Objects, accounts, and groups in one view, giving Heier and his clients an immediate picture of the state of the directory. Its reports have proven their worth in practice: one client that used Active Directory accounts for all user logins to its hosted line-of-business application was able to identify proactively which of its own customers were running into login issues, before those problems escalated.

"Excellent. Every Active Directory on-prem environment should use this tool to help proactively manage AD."

Larry Heier of Decisive Solutions

Support has been responsive as well: on the one occasion Decisive Solutions needed to reach out, the ManageEngine team quickly answered a customer query about Remote Desktop Services logins.

The result

With ADAudit Plus, Decisive Solutions delivers the lockout, change, and security reporting its clients asked for, and has shifted their Active Directory management from reactive troubleshooting to proactive oversight. The firm rates its overall experience at 9 out of 10 and is highly likely to recommend the product.
