Pros

“The single sign-on experience works well, MFA policies are straightforward to configure, and integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure services is seamless.”
DB

Denis B.

IT Service Manager

“In our case, we integrate with O365 apps and there are still things like managing "groups" where tasks are done in the O365 Admin Dashboard as opposed to all tasks being managed in the Azure AD Dashboard.”
JH

Jimmy H.

IT Manager

“I liked that i could obtain an address for free, as well as the fact that it comes with so many services included.”

Pros

“I would recommend Admin by Request to anyone looking to streamline privilege management as this software has really checked all the boxes in terms of security, convenience, and auditing capabilities”
MS

Mason S.

Lead IT Systems Engineer

“We have the ability now to approve requests for app installs remotely or to give administrator sessions if someone from the IT team is providing support on the device”
DM

Dane M.

Head of ICT

“The process to purchase Admin by Request took a bit more time and effort than I would have hoped.”
MS

Lead IT Systems Engineer

Cons

“Certain reporting options and additional settings are also all blocked by paywall forcing you to either pay more money for more licensing or look at 3rd party solutions.”
BB

Brandon B.

Senior Manager of IT Infrastructure

“I don't like how convoluted the licensing can be. While they offer some conditional access policies at our current license level, we would have to bump up to E5 or P2 add on licenses in order to take advantage of some of the more robust policies.”
BB

Brandon B.

Senior Manager of IT Infrastructure

“Licensing can also be confusing because certain security and identity features require higher-tier plans.”
DB

Denis B.

IT Service Manager

Cons

“On rare occasions, it doesn't work as expected and I must uninstall it, log in as admin, install software, then reinstall AdminByRequest.”
JE

James E.

IT Manager

“The mobile app while useful seems to be buggy and sometimes an afterthought.”
MH

Michael H.

IT Helpdesk Technician

“Some programs are difficult to pre-approve, so you get interrupted with a request for approval.”
