"Our relationship with ManageEngine has grown stronger and stronger — that's the core reason why we're still using ADManager Plus and other AD products. And obviously the price, the cost — we see the value."

John Gaskell,
Director of IT, Kingspan - United Kingdom

"You've (ADManager Plus team) been here for 20 years — you're not some fly-by-night company. You've enhanced, created, and expanded the product. For me, it's brand recognition and stability, knowing that you guys have always been there."

Steven Gladfelter,
Technology Manager, McConkey Insurance Benefits - United States

"We started with AD Manager Plus, then evolved to ADAudit Plus, Endpoint Central, and now Service Desk Enterprise. If we did not trust the brand and your capacity to innovate, we would not be with ManageEngine anymore. That's why we stick to you — because we believe in the products."

Marcelo Viegas,
Cybersecurity Lead, International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory - Poland

"I would love to recommend ManageEngine for its adaptability, costing, and ease easy to manage, and more ease from the support lines."

Kalyan Medarametla,
Senior VP, Head of IT Infra, Kfin Technologies - India

"The primary benefit we've seen with ADManager Plus is the ability to manage users in bulk. It has made our AD management much more efficient and significantly reduced manual errors. It gives us centralized visibility across all our office locations. We can now manage everything from a single console, which was a major challenge for us previously."

Dinesh Naskar,
Head of IT infra, CenturyPly - India

"The team's response rate is very, very good. We are happy with the product, we are happy with the people, and we like to carry on further as well."

Saurabh Sharma,
Head of IT, Times of India

Global analyst perspective

"Over the past two decades, ManageEngine has played a consistent role in the evolution of identity security. Its progression from foundational Active Directory administration to a more comprehensive IGA offering, now positioned within a broader IAM platform, reflects both technical depth and an ability to adapt to major technology shifts and increasingly complex enterprise environments. Throughout this journey, a sustained focus on customer requirements, trust, and continuous capability evolution has remained evident, informed by a clear understanding of real-world operational and governance challenges. This long-term relevance underscores the importance of platforms that continue to evolve alongside enterprise identity demands in a market defined by ongoing change and innovation."
