Microsoft Active Directory Reviews

The product is very stable and flexible. You can also integrate the solution with other products like mail solutions. 

I did not have a good experience with the product's tech support. First-level support takes a lot of time since they ask many questions. 

I have been working with the product for more than 15 years. 

The tool is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

The tool's last level of support is good since they resolve queries in 15-30 minutes. Support will help you but it takes a lot of time to find the right person. I have 10 tickets per year. Every ticket after the 10th one will cost extra. 

Neutral

The tool's deployment is not easy but not complex either. You need to understand what you need to implement. Also, you need to understand the needs of the customer. If you understand their needs, then the deployment is straightforward. 

I would rate the product a nine out of ten. 

We use Active Directory in IIS, our fleet management system, for monitoring our fleet of vehicles. 

Active Directory is more flexible and feature-rich than Apache.

I have used Active Directory since 2006.

Setting up Active Directory is easy because there is an installation guide that walks you through every step. It takes about a week to fully deploy and configure it, set roles, etc. 

We use the tool for FSMO, policies, and customized user registrations. 

I expect additional features like maximizing user flow, improving the branding of the UI, and enabling non-interactive login. Customizing the login page is limited to changing the background and logo, and adding terms and conditions during registration requires JavaScript.

The tool is stable. 

Microsoft Active Directory is scalable.

The tool's support is good in some areas but not so much in others. It depends on the kind of support we request and the product type. For some things, they are pretty good. For other services, they are responsive but might not provide any solution.

We already have experience integrating Microsoft Active Directory with other Microsoft Azure products, so it doesn't need to be checked. Third-party integrations are mainly for use cases related to external needs.

From my experience, I would rate Microsoft Active Directory around seven or eight out of ten. I never rate anything a ten out of ten, but my experience has been positive overall. I haven't chosen IBM Active Directory or other third-party solutions for core use cases.
