Shows group analytics with good UI but needs improvement in GPO
The solution helps with group analytics.  Imanami GroupID's UI is good.  The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO.  I have been using the solution for two years.  I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten.  I rate Imanami GroupID's scalability an eight out of…

Reporting features have supported regular user management while some automation capabilities remain unused
While the features in ManageEngine ADManager Plus are very good, not all features are necessary for every organization. Automation is a strong feature within the product but is not currently required due to the organization's environment and needs. There are always possibilities for improvements in the initial setup of ManageEngine ADManager Plus.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system, and based on that job code, we use the query tool so that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should, which runs every night so that the next day everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The solution is perfect for moving myself from first to second-level support and empowering technicians to handle certain tasks such as resetting passwords, reporting expiring passwords, etc."
"With ADManager, I can easily complete any Active Directory tasks from anywhere, making it an excellent solution."
"Technical support from ManageEngine is very satisfactory."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me, including the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall, and the user interface is good."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are vulnerability management and system patching functionalities."
 

Cons

"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools. For example, Workday is supported but SAP HCM is not."
"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."
"Some of my clients experience issues with the GPO results, which do not always generate the real outcomes. This needs to be resolved by technicians."
"All of it needs to be improved. It has corrupted my environment."
"The main downside is that, for my environment, I must have two products to conduct the same purpose."
"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"It is not expensive."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
