ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Review

Kommentare: ManageEngine ADAudit Plus it is a very easy product to use and will make your life easier the more you utlie it, I had to run reports of users who had Bad logins/risky logins and it made it a breeze for me to review them

Vorteile:

What I liked most about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is that I could pull reports of risky logins and see who logged in from where when I needed to review a Risky login report.

Nachteile:

The only feature I do not like much about ADAudit Plus is the fact that in my eyes alot fo the funcatlity can be done in a normal Azure dashboard.

Could be better...

Kommentare: It was something that I inherited when I started with my current company. It's decent, but I'm probably going to move to something that's a little more robust and easier to upgrade.

Vorteile:

I like the amount of data that ADAudit Plus can gather. It can pull your file server auditing, your domain controller auditing, and a whole host of other things. You can also setup alerting on specific events that makes it easy to see what's happening with your servers.

Nachteile:

The upgrade process is the worst thing I've ever seen in a software product. You have to put your build number into the support website, download a major upgrade, install that, and then download a service pack, and install that. It doesn't sound so bad, but the upgrade process itself is dependent on this antiquated process that uses a batch file and a Java utility. It fails more often than not and the upgrade instructions listed on ManageEngine's website has inaccurate data (lists the wrong batch files to use, etc).

Soo accurate to have it.

Vorteile:

I love how I can integrate this tool with other external to check the login and access controls

Nachteile:

It's costly and if it can be made cheaper the better

Monitor domain controllers and user logs

Kommentare: I use it most for users that have their account locked frequently, i saw their log and use account in other computers that lock it.

Vorteile:

I can monitor domain controller activity, users logon failures or locked.

Nachteile:

It have too many functions, we don't use them all.

Very useful for auditing permissions and changes in AD

Kommentare: The product is easy to work with and their support team are very helpful. The menus are self explanatory and easy to navigate.

Vorteile:

This product has a lot of features for an AD admin, with 100s reports and the ability to create custom reports.

Nachteile:

I'd like an immediate report of changes to Ad admin, but it seems to come at the same time each day regardless of any changes happening.

A good Auditing tool for on-prem AD setups

Kommentare: ADAudit Plus is a good option for those who did not migrate to Microsoft Entra ID. For those who made the jump, it is worth checking what Microsoft offers as part of its security offerings in Azure.

Vorteile:

- A substantial list of report templates and options out of the box - Good set of predefined alerts (customizable) - Product is generally stable

Nachteile:

- Alert management options are limited - Limited added value when compared with Microsoft security solutions for Entra ID

New to AD plus like what I see so far

Vorteile:

I’ve been using Ad audit for about six months. It’s a solid tool with a user friendly GUI and impressive live auditing, especially when it comes to file activity and monitoring. The dashboard makes it easy to drill down into events, improving visibility.

Nachteile:

Setup was a bit tricky some manual config in Active Directory was needed for full integration. Updating the tool was a bit tricky as well.

A great help for getting information when being audited

Kommentare: Positive was able to get information I needed for internal audits easily.

Vorteile:

After installing the probe it took no time at all for the data to be ready to audit

Nachteile:

Sometime the reports didn't give you the exact data you wanted.

Best Product to Audit your Active Directory

Vorteile:

I mostly like AD Audit Plus because of its User-Friendly dashboard.

Nachteile:

I think Prices are bit higher. That is the thing I like least.

Manage Engine is good

Kommentare: It does what it says on the tin, we're able to manage service tickets effectively

Vorteile:

It's very efficient, and has a smooth UI overall. We met them at DTX and they impressed us.

Nachteile:

We use an older version, but it works. I could have a friendlier UI though

AD Forensic system

Kommentare: Some initial configuration is required, pretty to follow and understand its functionality

Vorteile:

Easy to access, well defined menu system. Decent dashboard to drill down.

Nachteile:

Some minor after setup configuration on Active directory is required. The install wizard could be better.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Netwrix Auditor

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ManageEngine ADAudit Plus: Netwrix Auditor, Netwrix is too complex for our needs and environment.

ADAudit Plus is essential for any IT department

Kommentare: ADAudit Plus reduced the time our service desk and IT teams took to troubleshoot and diagnose AD issues.The accountability and compliance in the organization also increased as we are now monitoring changes to Active Directory and its core components.

Vorteile:

ADAudit Plus enables us to monitor, report, and track multiple AD changes and events. This is immensely valuable when it comes to user support but also with compliance and maturity of a IT organization. You can monitor changes to critical AD infrastructure and this helps drive accountability.

Nachteile:

The overall usage and functionality of ADAudit Plus is very good, there is nothing that stands out as something we did not dislike. We can do a bit of nit-picking and say we do not like the interface, or some of the reports are not something we use in our region. However overall, the software is awesome.

For AD auditing very useful

Vorteile:

It has a lot of reports already on it. You can use report templates to create a report. For active directory but in same time you can use for auditing file servers. It has DNS auditing and Exchange users and groups too.

Nachteile:

Archiving model isn't very useful. It isn't easy to take something from archived logs.

One of the best Active Directory Auditing Tools

Kommentare: We use this product to assist internal audit team with their requirements regarding any specific user auditing.

Vorteile:

Capability to audit even minute changes that have happened on domain controllers (users, computers, Groups, GPOs, PSOs, DNS Zones) and on user workstations.

Nachteile:

Not having the option to add in bulk workstations for auditing.

ADAuditPlus - block errors in user permissions

Kommentare: Very useful product which integrates well with our systems and allows our L1 techs to keep a handle on user login issues on a daily basis without requiring any extra permissions in AD. Reports can be emailed on a schedule which we use for auditing 3rd part access to our systems for example.

Vorteile:

We have integration with various products and mainly from our helpdesk. We use this to monitor changes to user accounts - we have some restricted groups for access to some systems, so if someone copies a user and the new user should not be in one of these groups, it blocks it and alerts us. Useful for tracking locked accounts as to where/why they are being locked. We use it daily to check failed logins, for example when someone with an expired password (or leaver) has left a PC logged in generating thousands of audit failures in AD. We can then identify and resolve these easily.

Nachteile:

Setup for some of the above can be quite complex and we can sometimes catch ourselves out if the rules are too strict. (Manually adding someone to a group and forgetting we restricted it for example).

ADAudit audit's EVERYTHING.

Vorteile:

AD Auditing is only a necessity for regulatory requirements and when you need it the most. However, AD Audit also provides intuitive reporting functionality for those times you can't easily give a quick answer, AD Audit is there for you.

Nachteile:

Some of the upgrades are a bit of a pain due to services, and it's hard to install multiple products on the same server due to port usage and service installations.

Easy to use and effective

Kommentare: Very positive, I'd like if the software could pull more info on user lockouts. For instance if a use locks out on exchange it will say they locked out on a DC with no further info you have to check security logs on exchange. Other than that great product!

Vorteile:

Configuration is easy, there are many canned reports to pull daily, monthly, and quarterly reports on changed and access to AD and other integrations. The search function is well put together to tell you what you need to know quickly. Has instant alerts for critical changes and AD restore.

Nachteile:

A few times we needed information but our auditing GPOs we're not properly set up. More our fault than theirs. You can't audit file shares from a DC which is a downside, I monitor a replicated DFS share but it won't show who make the changes on the non DC since that's the primary file server, just says system. Should work fine if you don't use DC for file shares. It would be nice if you could monitor who locks up a SQL database with a large query

An effective solution for auditing AD and file server activities

Vorteile:

ADAudit Plus ensures computer security and compliance for us since we use Active Directory servers. It provides us with an audit trail detailing any changes made by our technicians to the configuration or content of the server so we can stay secure and detect any malicious behavior. It also helps us to know what steps to take in the event that some changes bring about a negative effect.

Nachteile:

There’s so much information that gets created as a result of the auditing function and sometimes finding the right and accurate report requires going through quite a bit of data to get the exact one you’re looking for. But no tool is really perfect, and this one has some good things to offer.

Incredibly powerful audit software

Kommentare: The ADAudit support team were really good with helping my team get the product set up in the first place, making sure that everything that needed to be seen could be seen. From a user perspective I am very happy and believe I will be able to make lots of improvements based on audit results, and the HR team are happy that they can audit what they need to see too.

Vorteile:

As a Head of Department I wasn't involved in the setting up of the software, so the first I saw it in anger was when I first logged on. It is really intuitive and there are tons of reports already set up - this meant that I found a potential error in our network permissions setup within minutes of logging on, which once resolved I think will improve performance enough for our users that the time saved will pay for ADAudit Plus within weeks. Amazed!

Nachteile:

Nothing so far, although the breadth and depth of reports available is pretty daunting at first.

Gone are the days of endless lockouts.

Kommentare: We use this for tracking bad password attempts and keeping logs of group changes.

Vorteile:

I like how clear and easy to use the UI is, my biggest qualm with active directory is it seems like most of the fields are intersparsed in random places and it doesn't always give you a full picture of whats going on. With AD audit plus you are able to get clear concise information.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the web UI glitches out, but this may be due to our implementation and not necessarily the software.

You can get all kinds of reports with this product in the active directory environment.

Kommentare: It has a particularly user-friendly interface and simple to use. It includes reports of users of groups and other objects of Active Directory in detail. An Active Directory-specific SIEM tool. With this product, you can store your data for years with the archiving mechanism.

Vorteile:

It has a particularly user-friendly interface and simple to use. The alarm can be generated when the log is in accordance with the conditions determined on the application.

Nachteile:

The quality of the support team is insufficient to solve problems of the product and quickly shut down calls.

Very good for compliance

Kommentare: We had many cases with different departments who remove files or folder, who made changes in excel file. The software always gives the right answer, never disappointed me. If you are looking for a file server audit, you should just buy it.

Vorteile:

File server auditing is the best so far, very easy to use. UI is well designed. Ad reporting is really helping us to find out who has an old session and locked account

Nachteile:

AD audit tool can be improved as far as event log wise. you have to run the software as service, don't forget that, The pricing is a little bit higher.
