Why ADManager Plus is the better alternative

Zero scripting required

Unlike One Identity, which often necessitates PowerShell expertise for complex workflows, ADManager Plus is purely point-and-click. You can automate user provisioning, offboarding, and cleanup without writing a single line of code.

Unified management

Manage identities across AD, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and enterprise applications from a single console. This eliminates the need to toggle between multiple admin centers, streamlining operations significantly.

Non-invasive delegation

Secure your environment by delegating tasks without elevating technicians' privileges in AD. ADManager Plus allows you to grant granular access to help desk technicians for specific tasks based on their job profiles.

The ROI of modernizing your AD management

  • Slash provisioning costs

    Manual user onboarding can take 30-60 minutes per employee when accounting for AD, Exchange, Microsoft 365, and other system access. With automated provisioning using ADManager Plus, this drops to minutes. If you onboard 20 employees a month, this efficiency saves hours of IT labor annually.

  • Offload high-cost senior admin work

    Every time a senior administrator stops to reset a password or unlock an account, you are overpaying for that task. With ADManager Plus' delegation capabilities, you can safely push these tasks to Level 1 support or even HR via non-invasive delegation. This ensures your expensive resources remain focused on high-value infrastructure work and strategic initiatives, not routine ticket churn.

  • Eliminate compliance overtime

    SOX, HIPAA, or GDPR audits often involve days of manual script-running and data consolidation. ADManager Plus eliminates this frantic scramble by offering over 200 pre-built audit reports. You can generate compliance proof in a single click, saving weeks of effort per audit cycle and turning a complex requirement into a simple, routine task.

Highlights of ADManager Plus

  •  

    Bulk user management

    Create, modify, and deprovision users across AD, Exchange Server, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and enterprise applications simultaneously. Use smart templates or CSV imports to provision thousands of users in minutes with zero errors.

  •  

    Automated AD cleanup

    Tightly secure your perimeter by implementing set-it-and-forget-it automation policies. The system automatically detects dormant accounts and executes a tiered cleanup process, disabling them, moving them to a quarantine OU, and eventually deleting them, ensuring no backdoors are left open for attackers.

  •  

    Strict approval workflows

    Establish a rigid chain of command for critical directory changes. Configure custom multi-level workflows to ensure that no sensitive action occurs without authorized oversight, satisfying the strictest internal controls.

  •  

    Identity orchestration

    Break down silos between your IT tools. Use webhooks to trigger automated workflows across your entire stack. For example, automatically create an AD user when a new hire ticket is approved in ServiceNow or ServiceDesk Plus.

  •  

    Mobile apps

    Empower your team to manage identities on the go. With dedicated iOS and Android apps, admins can reset passwords, unlock accounts, and enable and disable users immediately from their smartphones, drastically reducing weekend downtime and SLA breaches.

  •  

    Advanced bulk management

    Perform bulk user, group, and computer operations without scripts. Modify attributes, reset passwords, move objects, and manage memberships across thousands of accounts in minutes, far beyond what traditional tools can efficiently handle.
