For our SOC two compliance, I use it quite frequently to run audit reports and cross-reference them with Active Directory. I also look for anomalies, especially in the cybersecurity portion of it. I use it for troubleshooting, running reports, making changes, and using it to verify any anomalies. The analytics piece is proving to be quite helpful.

Provides real-time visibility and user-friendly
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the dashboard. They allow me to see everything in real-time and drill down and pick and choose versus running scripts. You can get the same information with scripts, but you're having to run them in the background. Today, I just don't have the time to look up what those scripts are and how to run them or reach out to someone very proficient in running scripts. I like what the interface does.
What needs improvement?
Some things are not very intuitive. Sometimes, I have to open up a call with ManageEngine and ask, "Why is this failing? Where do I have to click? Where do I have to go?" It's almost like you need to take a course on how to manoeuvre within it, and you don't always know what's connected to what is on the back end. For example, if I go in and change something and receive an error report, I don't know exactly what changed or what broke. Also, some of the reports are good, but sometimes I need more customized reports, and I'm not quite sure how to customize them because I don't fully understand what's going on in the back end and how these things connect. So, probably on the reporting or customization side, if there were a little more intuitiveness, that would be good.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for a couple of years.
How are customer service and support?
Typically, I've received very good support from them. But Sometimes it depends on who I get. They've also walked through some of the changes. And sometimes I've gotten, "You'll probably have to go and research this. Not quite sure. Let me get back to you," Then it'll be a couple of days before they circle back.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It has a competitive pricing model.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise you to scale your license appropriately depending on how many technicians you want. We purchased one, thinking that one would be enough, and it's really not, and we need to expand it.
And sometimes, patching probably needs to be more familiar with patching. I'd say you make sure when you install the product; you pay close attention to the patching portion of it because it could easily break.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

The automations are awesome. Gives me the ability to set scheduled tasks to complete based on a report. This really helps with compliance and audit plus helps to keep our environment more secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Updating ADManager is not a simple process. While the initial install is very easy (MSI file), all updates require you to run a batch file and select a PPM file.

We had user accounts that would go unused for some time. We've been able to set rules to automatically disable those accounts. We also do the same for computers and servers. We've been able to provide reports and audit trails. These tasks cna be done by junior admins that may not have a level of scripting needed. However, the tool is powerful so even the most seasoned engineer will find it useful
