A highly scalable solution that can be used to perform AD functions without giving the technicians direct access to the servers
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution has helped our organization by reducing risks and not allowing a technician direct access to the servers and the environment.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, the ability for us to customize the access privileges for the users, and integration with ServiceDesk Plus.
Another feature that I really fell in love with is the recycle bin. One of my engineers deleted a machine out of the AD. After almost two weeks, we could go into the solution, locate that machine in the recycle bin, and restore it. After being restored, the machine worked perfectly.
What needs improvement?
The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets. In today's world of mobility, tablets are becoming more commonplace because they are less heavy, and you can just whip them out and use them anywhere.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using ManageEngine ADManager Plus for more than ten years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
ManageEngine ADManager Plus is a very stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We were able to upscale the solution as needed with more licenses.
I rate ManageEngine ADManager Plus ten out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
The solution's technical support is excellent. The technical support has been able to assist if needed, simply with an email instruction. I've never really had to engage them in any remote control session.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used a solution called Track-It! by Numara Software. We switched to ManageEngine ADManager Plus for better features and usability. ManageEngine ADManager Plus had better features, and the interface was more streamlined for my needed functions.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a return on investment with ManageEngine ADManager Plus.
We lowered the ownership cost in terms of hiring more engineers. We were able to complete tasks with a smaller group or a smaller team. We were able to reduce the training cost because we only needed to train on specific things to complete tasks versus having to send people to get Microsoft certified.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing ManageEngine ADManager Plus, we evaluated Zendesk.
What other advice do I have?
I advise potential users to clear their minds and try every scenario as they approach the solution. In most cases, it will solve the problems and provide the answer you're looking for.
Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.
