REVIEWS

What our customers say

  • At first, anytime you get to new software, you get a little intimidated. But actually, I was very shocked at the ease of use. Everything was very self-explanatory.

    Jason Steve,
    System administrator

  • I am able to automate those tasks and ADManager Plus has made my life easier. Specifically, we use ADManager Plus to manage unused accounts and systematically disable them, so we don't have any dormant or inactive accounts."

    Daniel Lahrman,
    IT infrastructure analyst

  • ADManager Plus has the potential to automate our process." "The product (ADManager Plus) is cost effective.

    Jerry Kolb, Manager,
    System and Operations

  • The automation feature is incredibly convenient. It helps us add and remove users to appropriate groups and update information

    IT admin

  • ADManager Plus has given [us] the ability to ensure that accounts are being put into the proper OUs and that they're being added to groups. It's really made the experience for our technicians even easier.

    Identity services engineer

  • I showed (ADManager Plus') dashboards and the reports and everyone was like, 'Oh, this looks quite handy. Maybe we can get in that.'

    We had over a thousand users in the Active Directory system, and we only had 300 employees. Now, we’ve got that down to under 500.

    Group head

  • Using AD360, we have been able to move AD management out of the servers into a more controlled environment where we can control what tasks technicians can perform

    We find the reporting to be quite good—It enables us to generate reports on settings of users or people with expired passwords, etc.

    Senior IT manager

  • I love the built-in reporting. Being able to look at both user reports and group reports has saved me a lot of time.

    Overall, the process has been very smooth, and whenever we faced issues, the support team was fast and prompt.
