Smart user life cycle automation

Eliminate the hidden costs of manual provisioning.

ADManager Plus enables you to intelligently provision users and assign group memberships, mailboxes, Microsoft 365 licenses, and much more with simple automations. By automating the entire user life cycle, you eliminate the costs associated with manual errors and reduce the onboarding time from hours to minutes.

Reduced operational overhead

Do more with the team you already have.

By automating routine tasks and delegating secure access to non-IT teams, ADManager Plus significantly reduces your senior administrators' workload. This efficiency gain enables them to focus on strategic initiatives rather than resetting passwords, effectively multiplying the value of your existing IT workforce.

Automated stale account cleanup

Reclaim licenses and reduce security risks.

Unused accounts are both a security vulnerability and a financial drain. With ADManager Plus, you can regularly scan your AD and Microsoft 365 environment for inactive users, disabled computers, unused Microsoft 365 licenses, and expired accounts and automatically disable, move, or delete them. This process immediately frees up valuable software licenses and reduces your attack surface, providing immediate financial and security returns.

    Ricardo Perez, IT general director

Looking at all reviews of these types of products showed this was the best choice for depth of information for Active Directory and a reasonable price. The solution was also very easy to setup and configure.”

    VP, IT security

  • “Earlier, our team [was] managing Active Directory in a traditional way, which consumes more time to add, remove, [and] change users [or] groups, etc. Now after implementing this solution we could perform multiple tasks at [the] same time.”
