NK

“The ability to send alerts on major issues such as account lockout, privileged account usage, elevation of privileges and group membership changes.”
KJ

Kevin J.

Technology Director

Pros

“In general, it is an excellent tool for monitoring within IT, adding to our zero trust concepts, including supervision of rdp connections, monitoring of sql instructions in critical databases and access and use of user files”

“We used to use it for file servers, but since we've retired so many we only use it for AD changes, GPO changes and account auth events.”

“What they need to work most is the dashboard customization”
ZZ

Cons

“Some cons of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus are that the initial setup and configuration can take time, especially for larger Active Directory environments.”

“Some of the menus take a bit of clicking around to figure out, and setting up detailed reports can be more of a hassle than I’d like.”
HI

Senior System Administrator

“While ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is powerful, it does have some common drawbacks that users (especially engineers and admins) often point out:”
OK

Ong K.

Cons

“Setting up permissions for file servers manually because our team didn't feel comfortable allowing Auditor setting perms automatically.”
BP

Bradley P.
