Find out what your peers are saying about ManageEngine, Netwrix, One Identity and others in Active Directory Management."The Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable."
"The monitoring and reporting are extensive and we get all the information we need while they continue to enhance the capabilities of the product."
"ADAudit Plus's best features are that it's very easy to use with a user-friendly interface, and it gives reports on group policy and object changes that we couldn't find in any other product."
"The documentation for this solution is good."
"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is its reports."
"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."
"The most valuable feature is the control of the file server."
"I like the user behavior analytics (UBA). It's a machine learning feature that creates a standard profile for each user when you install it. It creates a baseline for every user, so it can detect when anyone deviates from that standard baseline profile. For example, if a user typically logs in at 9:30 am and logs out at 6 pm, ADAudit will flag it as an anomaly when that same logs in after normal hours and alert the admins."
"The ease of deployment, ease of use, and speed of delivery is what I like about Okta Workforce Identity. It is very easy to use. For a lot of software, you need to be trained extensively and have a very technical background. Okta Workforce Identity is quite simple. You can integrate any software into Okta. They've got a network of 7,000 applications that easily integrate into it."
"I like the tool's workflows, which is user-friendly. It can integrate with different applications. I particularly like that users are delighted to access their applications without the hassle of entering their username and password each time. It truly enhances user-friendliness."
"They have good push authentications."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is flexible and easy to install."
"Valuable features include UD, SSO functionality, MFA and Adaptive MFA functionality, ability to link multiple Directory databases with UD."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's easy to use and straightforward."
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."
"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."
"Its configuration can be better. There were 44 pages of documented notes of what I had to do to get the product to work during the installation process."
"ADAudit could have a more sophisticated interface design. They are using a plain UI, which is decent. However, customers have said that it looks a little flat compared to other vendors. It's not fancy."
"The initial setup was difficult."
"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."
"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."
"ADAudit Plus can be very tricky, especially if we need to do some high-availability configuration or distributed environment installation."
"It's not compatible with on-premises installations, unless you host it as a SaaS. We were not able to do that. For example, imagine a scenario where the cloud is not available. Then, Okta will not work for you. That use case will readily fail because it doesn't have an on-premises installation that you can use to authenticate or provide identity and access management. If you have a purely on-premises solution that is not connected to the internet, then this will not work. This is one area that can be improved."
"In some setup cases, there are issues with attributes not going in properly."
"The solution’s policies are difficult to understand due to the policy methods. They use authentication. The solution’s workflow is also difficult and not very active. They need to have proper documentation on it. In the next release, I would like to see the workflows being more digestible."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"It only facilitates provisioning and not de-provisioning."
"The solution is very expensive."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"The product does not offer enough integration capabilities."
