Find out what your peers are saying about ManageEngine, Netwrix, One Identity and others in Active Directory Management."The most valuable feature is the control of the file server."
"Real-time monitoring of AD changes and logons is valuable."
"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."
"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 Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable."
"The documentation for this solution is good."
"We use the product to track events and monitor logs of servers and workstations. I am impressed with the tool's tracking ability. It is intuitive and easy to use."

"The solution's managing file server activity could be improved."
"The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand."
"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."
"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."
"Tenable Identity Exposure is more expensive than Defender for Identity."
