Business challenge:

Dean Edwards, IT director, was looking for a solution to secure the company's endpoint machines and servers with multi-factor authentication to make Community Alternatives compliant with its organizational regulations.

"Windows did not offer multi-factor authentication, but as per our regulation, we wanted to implement multi-factor authentication for all the user machines."

The IT team had to handle more than one hundred password-related help desk tickets on a monthly basis, and the company was also looking for a solution to reduce the hassle of switching between multiple applications and reduce password fatigue for its users.

How ADSelfService Plus stepped in:

ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus not only met its exact requirement of securing endpoints with multi-factor authentication to meet the desired regulations but also reduced its IT help desk workload by enabling users to reset and unlock their accounts without help desk intervention.

"ADSelfService Plus saved us a lot of time by reducing the help desk tickets and enabled Zero Trust in our organization by securing the workforce and endpoints," said Edwards.

ADSelfService Plus also reduced the hassle of toggling between multiple applications and having to authenticate those applications every single time by implementing a single sign-on (SSO) feature. This meant users could log in to their Google Workspace without having to enter their credentials each time.

"ADSelfService Plus not only offers a lot of features, but it is also affordable. I would recommend this application to all organizations to secure their workforce and endpoints."

How OnboardPro tailored ADSelfService Plus to exceed Community Alternative's expectations:

Community Alternatives found it difficult to roll out multi-factor authentication to all its user machines and servers.

"All the implementation managers were knowledgeable and helped us every time without any hesitation and educated us about other features that might be helpful."

Community Alternatives initially wanted a solution to secure its endpoints, and upon being educated about other features that ADSelfService Plus offered, reducing its IT help desk workload and implementing SSO went beyond expectations.

"We were facing a lot of curveballs while implementing ADSelfService Plus, but implementation managers made sure to help on right time. I would definitely recommend everyone consider ManageEngine's onboarding services."

Our dedicated implementation experts worked with the company's employees on a daily basis, helped them tailor the product according to their requirements, and provided detailed insights about other unexplored features, such as SSO.

"To say the experience with ManageEngine team in one word, I would say 'value',"

Dean Edwards, IT director, Comalt.

Furthermore, our OnboardPro team offered customized training, ensuring Community Alternatives employees quickly learned features, best practices, and troubleshooting for smooth product adoption.
