Find out in this report how the two Active Directory Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"The product helps to validate every activity."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me. This includes the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall."
"It makes our job easier, especially for managing data for a bulk of users."
"The most valuable feature was conducting the automation of our cloud and all services of the Active Directory."
"Makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"It is cloud based so it is always updated,"
"It helps with privacy control of identity data. It makes security very easy."
"The solution has some great features, such as identity governance, and user self-service. The Outlook application is very good and is used by a lot of people even if they are using Google services."
"Privileged Identity Management and Privileged Identity Management make controlling access considerably easier and ensure that authorized access is achieved."
"The most valuable feature is the ease with which a person can log in remotely using only a password or pin without creating a profile or policy."
"The tool's most valuable feature is auto logs. It helps with user activity and monitoring. It also assists us with GLBA policies and procedures. Microsoft Entra ID gives a 360 view of what the user has access to, what applications are available to them, when they are logging in and out, etc. It makes knowing what is happening to our tenants incredibly powerful."
"The scalability is quite good."
"Let's say we decide that our users need to have MFA, multi-factor authentication. It is very easy to implement that with Azure Active Directory."
"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"Some things are not very intuitive."
"It would be nice if the solution offered some sort of brochure with some high-level information that would help sell it to management. If they had details around how much time it saves an engineer, for example, to show the ROI, it would be helpful."
"There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"I would like it to be easier to integrate third-party applications."
"Many of the features are outdated, so the UI and UX could be improved."
"The solution can improve the educational portion because it is an administration cost."
"There is no great solution in the cloud for Conditional Access authentication and RADIUS-type authentication."
"In terms of connecting the web application, there is technology for single sign-on. When we use it, the solution opens very slowly. It might be a bandwidth issue, and some content will not work on that portal."
"From time to time it takes a little bit of time to replicate, with some of the applications—something like five to 10 minutes. I know that the design is not supposed to enable real-time replication with some of the applications. But, as an administrator, I would like to run a specific change or modification in Azure Active Directory and see it replicated almost immediately."
"I would like it if Intune could manage MacOS or iOS directly. Right now, we have to use a third-party solution."
"The permission management is a mess."
