Case studies

"ADManager Plus provides us a single point for our Active Directory Reports. For a small IT department this is crucial for saving time and being able to apply our energy to keeping things running smooth. I foresee this being in our arsenal of network tools for a long time to come."

“I’m regularly using ADManager Plus to extract up-to-date lists of users and the groups they belong to. In a department with approximately 2000 staff it is a problem trying to manage our Active Directory so that it always reflects what our business users know to be the true situation. Eg: Number of current AD users = Number of current staff and that users only have access to those drives and applications that they currently need. I have always found Active Directory to be a very back-room and technical product only suited to network/security admin purposes. ADManager Plus puts a very friendly and powerful interface over the top of that and I’ve been very pleased with the functionality.”

"ADManager Plus benefits our organization in several ways. We use it for reporting on user access returning a very granular report. The processes it streamlines makes my time with ADManager Plus more efficient. The dashboard view helps me keep compliant with my AD details “at a glance”. After 1 hour with the demo version of ADManager Plus, I put in the request to purchase. I realized that quickly that I NEEDED this product, and I hated that I had to wait."

"I first discovered ADManager Plus after coming across a situation where I needed to change Home directories for multiple users in Active Directory, I had about 120 users to apply these changes to. It was a problem that was really slowing down productivity in the sense that I was spending too much time going to each user account and specifying the new home directory which was on a different server than the current home directory, I then had to make sure the directory was created and users were able to login and be pointed to their respective directories.

"ADManager Plus has been an integral productivity tool in the efforts to standardize and streamline our Active Directory in a dynamically changing environment."

"ADManager Plus is an easy-to-use, completely web-based and cost-effective AD management tool. It has simplified the Active Directory management and reporting to a great extent for us.

"ADManager has been an amazing piece to our litigation support puzzle. Individual and bulk user creation, along with a great range of built- in reporing have been a tremendous boon for our team."

"ADManager makes things quick and easy while reporting on your AD infrastructure, and is quite helpful in project management."

"Just about the best piece of security software that would put a smile on any security administrator."

"We have just installed SP2 for ADManager and have greatly appreciated the including of Exchange 2007 support. We now have a one stop shop for user management and can do away with having to use multiple applications to accomplish the same task. This has already had a great effect on the time and money spent on user accounts."

"It is good to have such a product to cut down the administrative work of creating accounts. Not only the product is good and also good priced. I do not have any hesitation in recommending this product to anyone."

"ADManager's reporting has helped me out the most. With its useful reports, we can take some of the edge off SOX compliance. With ADManager, I can run reports to make sure that we are staying within the compliance guidelines between audits. Since the purchase of ADManager, we have received good SOX reviews."

"ADManager Plus became our final choice because of its price, ease of use, ease of implementation and much needed feature set. ADManager Plus allowed us to have more consolidated and centralized reporting across our diverse operating environment in regards to AD administration. The tool also allows us to delegate certain AD administration tasks more effectively and easily."

"Laurus Technical Institute is a multi-campus, post-secondary educational institution in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Our AD tasks were growing exponentially and maintenance was a real task. The ability to setup and maintain GAL information was critical to the selection of ADManager After installing ADManager Plus our IT Support department saw an immediate and ongoing increase in productivity and decrease in time spent performing AD maintenance tasks."

"With this product we are able to get the key reports from AD server & we will be able to manage AD very efficiently. It has more features compared to other software & is an easy as well as user friendly application. One most important factor for ADManger Plus being our final choice is that Manageengine is the only organization whose technical support team gave us prompt support pre & post evaluation of product."

"IT staff in small organizations do not have the time nor the in-house resources/expertise to be familiar with all the sys admin requirements that are expected of them to timely, securely and efficiently manage AD and all its intricacies. AD manager saves time, requires a minimal learning curve and is a very intuitive product. Best of all it is a one stop shop for all my AD management needs.

"ADManager Plus is head and shoulders above the other products that we have used or evaluated. ADManager Plus allows us to keep up with the changes in AD , keep it clean and up to date with minimal effort. ADManger Plus is a tremendous time saver for our support engineers."

"My primary influence was account aging and software verification. We move user account to the disabled users folder. We age them for 6 months. I do not need to label them with a date. I can run an inactivity report, review the results, and delete old user accounts older than 180 days. I also run the report for recent AD changes. I compare added users to my software licensing spreadsheets to verify I have bought a license for newly created users. I also like to run a report for OS type to see how far we have migrated to the latest OS. This may also influence scripted installs such as including both 32 and 64 bit deployments.

"I needed a quick and easy way to create accounts in bulk once a year. I used the trial version of ADManager Plus twice and decided it would be a good investment. I am now also using it to report on machine usage, keep AD up to date and see what user accounts are no longer being used, among other things."

We have the Self Service portal and know the programming is solid.Primarily folder permissions are easy to get out of hand and this is what we need more than anything else. Reputation, Experience with your product's Current features and the promise made me get AD Manager Plus."

"Our challenge was regarding reporting tasks and ADManager Plus helped us to improve dramatically."

"With an ever expanding and more complex system to manage with finite resources, ADManager Plus has enabled us to streamline the management of our Active Directory resources. It simplified the process of creating and managing our users and provided an effective reporting system to help us manage people leaving the organization. It offered the features we needed at a price we could afford and the support provided left us with the confidence that we would be looked after if we needed help."

"I needed a way to allow my staff to make changes to our Active Directory without having the complexities behind managing it with the windows GUI. ADManager Plus was a cost-effective solution for that .The setup was simple. It ran correctly right out of the box."

"We had issues giving our Service Desk staff access to change AD directly on servers and found after a few months that containers were being moved, user permissions were set incorrectly and a lot of garbage left behind in AD. With ADManager Plus we have taken the Service Desk staff away from the servers and by using the templates we have created a more streamlined process for AD Management. ADManager Plus is an easy management of user accounts without compromising security."

"For the past month I have been using a new tool to manage our Active Directory environment called ADManager Plus. We used the full-blown 30-day trial for about three weeks and decided last week to go ahead and make the purchase. This was a very easy to use product that is installed on a local server and managed via web browser inside your domain. The feature set is second-to-none and provides many tools that will allow for time saved to dedicate to other tasks. Our AD environment consists of about 5,500 users and about 2300 devices. Ease of management of users alone was the main reason we looked at this product but the ability to manage devices was such a bonus that I was sold on this product."

"ADManager Plus standardizes the provisioning and de-provisioning of objects. In a native environment, full account creation takes place across multiple management windows because most users will need a mailbox, permissions, Lync settings, etc. With ADManager Plus, all of these settings can be created within a single screen. When using the ready-made reports, you might find that you can eliminate a few logon scripts. The most striking report for me was the real last logon time report. This report is built by querying each domain controller and presenting the latest logon time. This provides an accurate report for sites with multiple domain controllers."
