Advanced monitoring enhances user tracking that's cost-effective

I have been involved with this product for the last three years, participating in service and support within our company. We are currently supporting over 30 companies. This month, we deployed the solution for three companies, including two RMGs and one private bank in Bangladesh. The popularity of this product is due to its active directory monitoring abilities. Engineers can receive reports and log details within one to five seconds, which is essential for monitoring user activity swiftly and effectively. This product is very well-liked in Bangladesh due to user tracking, failed logins, and Jar reports for any Barna activity or execution. This solution's popularity extends through comprehensive auditing capabilities.

Has migrated user mailboxes and collaboration data with minimal challenges

I'm currently working with On Demand Migration solution from Quest. I am providing feedback regarding my experience with On Demand Migration. I have used automated scheduling in On Demand Migration. I can run immediate migration or schedule it as per my convenience, but I have used the run immediately option because I needed it on an urgent basis. The effectiveness of On Demand Migration detailed reporting in managing migration progress is quite good, as there is a report option where I can see what migration got successfully completed, which failed, and even the problem ID and event ID, allowing me to troubleshoot easily on the demand portal. I have not explored the data filtering options. I have not explored data filtering for filtering the data. In terms of data security, we are using independent DLP for data protection in our organization. I have not explored features such as AI functionality or additional security aspects, as I have explored only On Demand Migration for mailbox, Teams chat, Teams channel, and OneDrive. For O365 to O365, it's a very good and easy tool, so I can recommend anyone using O365 to O365 tenant migration to go with On Demand Migration. My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Real-time monitoring of AD changes and logons is valuable."

"Customers prefer ManageEngine ADAudit Plus to other solutions because they produce good results for comparatively lower prices."

"ADAudit saves you the expense of hiring an outside auditor for compliance with regulations like PCI DSS or PCA."

"I rate this ten out of ten."

"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs."

"We are happy with this product; we use it for multiple purposes and we get a lot of useful information from it."

"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 most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is its reports."

More ManageEngine ADAudit Plus pros

"It's very easy to use. What I like is that if there is an error, for each task, I can find out what actually went wrong."

"Overall, it's a very good tool, and if I require another migration in the future, I will definitely go with this tool only."

"Quest allows you to customize your migration. For example, you can opt only to migrate Microsoft Teams and the related data or you can migrate all of Office 365. You can also choose to migrate accounts and mailboxes. Sometimes, we don't want to migrate SharePoint data, or we only want to migrate specific users."

"They have a demo version that you can test before you purchase it so you can see that it does what you need before you commit financially."

"The greatest asset is its nature as a SaaS product, offering exceptional scalability and flexibility, which are invaluable to us."

"I don't think there's another tool in the market that covers the same scope that it covers."

"The solution is really stable when it comes to mailbox migration and all of the following work very well: the mail content, the OneDrive for Business content, and migrating all Azure AD objects."

"The data is pretty secure."

Cons

"There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need."

"There are so many reports that it can be a headache."

"The solution should include more details on file creation and modification. It also needs to have a quick message for troubleshooting problems which needs to be detailed and generic."

"From the complexity part, I have some challenges with editing the Group Policy."

"Some features require more external integration."

"ADAudit Plus can be very tricky, especially if we need to do some high-availability configuration or distributed environment installation."

"I consider the pricing for ADAudit Plus a bit high compared to other software solutions, so I would rate it around two or three on the pricing scale."

"Sometimes the developers in technical support take time."

More ManageEngine ADAudit Plus cons

"It would be more useful if I could scope the dashboard. I would like to be able to scope the users that I want to see to a much smaller list. When I am looking into a tenant with 35,000 accounts, and I am only moving 2,000 of them, I wish that the guys had been smarter about the discovery, and I could have only discovered those accounts, but there is not too much to complain about."

"One of the things that can be included is automation. For the matching and the migration process, they could put in some automation. I'm only allowed about 25 users at a time. If it's a large tenant, it takes quite a while to put them in the batches. If there is enough automation into that, that'd be perfect."

"It's the Teams stuff, especially, that is not that solid."

"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."

"In terms of Microsoft Teams, the only disappointment for us has been how the chats are migrated."

"We had some issues with migrating Teams."

"It's definitely the Microsoft Teams functionality that has a lot of aspects where improvements are needed. Microsoft 365 Groups are tightly connected to Teams and there are a lot of improvements needed there as well."

"One significant issue that often elicited complaints during domain migration was the need to set the primary UPN for objects once they were migrated to the target."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My guess is that it was around $4,000 or $5,000 a year, and we bought a license, and then we have maintenance fees. I'm not 100% sure how that worked out."

"The tool is affordable, and our company is very happy with it. If ten is the most expensive and one is the least expensive, I rate the tool a three or four."

"It's a medium-priced solution."

"The solution's pricing is acceptable."

"ADAudit Plus's pricing is affordable and flexible, with very low prices in the market."

"Adding features and other functionality it costs you more. Also, the first installation costs an additional amount."

"It is more than fair for what you get."

"It is quite cheap. Previously, I used to work for a big company, and they get quite a good deal, and now, I'm working for a small company, and even they get quite a good deal. So, its pricing is quite fair."

"I find the pricing to be cost-efficient for what you receive with the Quest product."

"The pricing is in line with other products."

"I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."

"The solution is on the more expensive side, when you compare it not only to BitTitan but to other tools in the cloud market. Of course, you receive things like Quest's support organization."

"The product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."

"We are fine with the tool's pricing."
