It was complex. All of it has to do with setting permissions so that it can do the audits, policies, and things like that. So, it is very complicated.

Onboarding is pretty simple. It's all about configuring the Active Directory audit policies. All enterprises have their own Active Directory admins, so the admins simply need to create an audit policy in their Active Directory. It takes about 30 or 45 minutes to set up the software. You will get a report and the user behavior analytics working.

One person is enough to deploy the solution. It will usually be the admin who's handling the professional services. We do all the maintenance for our customers. We have a process called Health Check, where we contact the end-users every six months. It involves a set of questions for every product to determine if the solution is fully utilized. 

The initial setup was difficult. I would rate my experience with the initial setup a three out of ten, where one being difficult and ten being very easy to set up. 

During the deployment, one challenge was mapping the systems. We needed to integrate each machine individually, and the solution doesn't provide an option for that. Instead, it relies on its own mechanism through DNS, which is not always reliable for taking inventory or scanning devices. They should offer a way for us to manually upload the devices instead of relying solely on their method.

DNS doesn't always maintain live records, so the solution keeps populating itself with old and unused items. We have to do a lot of cleanup, and it consumes licenses for these unused items as well.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

The initial setup was straightforward.

The initial setup was straightforward and it took about an hour for installation. We completed the installation ourselves. I rate the setup an eight out of ten.

The solution requires some maintenance in the database. We have about 15 users of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus.

The tool's setup is easy. The solution's deployment gets completed in three hours. It can be completed in five minutes if everything is up and running. 

The initial setup is straightforward and simple - all you need is a server, a connection to your environment, and the installation package. However, the setup could be quite complex if you have a different database or need a distributed environment or high-availability installations. Deployment takes a few hours.

The initial setup of the product is straightforward. We were able to deploy it by ourselves. It takes maybe a maximum of half an hour to deploy. The process is not difficult. 

The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand. The complicated part was the pre-setup to make sure the software can collect the data.
