Solid piece of software that integrates well and helps my team stay compliant and on top of tracking. > > **Cons**: It is quite overwhelming when first using, there is definitely a steeper learning curve than your typical software. ----- ### "ADAudit Plus, a great value" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *25 June 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is that it gives us visibility into what is happening in Active Directory and on our file servers. It makes it much easier to track user changes, computer changes, permission changes, and GPO changes, and the alerts help us catch important activity quickly instead of having to dig for it after the fact. > > **Cons**: What I like least about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is that it can take some time to get the reports, alerts, and filters set up exactly how you want them. There is a lot of useful information, but it can feel a little overwhelming until you fine-tune it for your environment. > > Overall, our experience with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus has been very positive. It has helped us get much better visibility into what is happening in Active Directory and on our file servers. The alerts and reports make it easier to track changes, investigate issues, and know when important events happen. Once it is set up and tuned for your environment, it becomes a very useful tool for AD auditing and security monitoring. ----- ### "Pay for the parts you need, upgrade as you grow and stay informed of user activity." — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *26 June 2026* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the a la carte nature of the product. I didn't have to buy a super expensive license that I wouldn't use half of. I sized it right for the amount of DC's and file servers I had. I also really like the support. They respond fast and have been able to help me create nearly all of my custom alert queries. > > **Cons**: I needed to work with support to get it functioning in my custom environment. Simpler AD domains would likely work 100% out of the box. > > After the initial setup and tuning, it's been chugging along and alerting me to Domain Admin logons, users who delete too many files, and account lockouts. It definitely helps me keep an eye on dark corners of my Active Directory that I would have to be digging through log files otherwise to have visibility. ----- ### "5 Stars for ADAudit plus" — 5.0/5 > **Judson** | *22 June 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ManageEngine ADAudit Plus delivers a strong, well‑rounded auditing solution for organizations that need visibility across both on‑prem Active Directory and Azure AD (Entra ID). It combines real‑time monitoring, compliance‑ready reporting, and intuitive dashboards into a platform that’s easy to deploy and genuinely useful for security and operations teams. > > **Cons**: With hundreds of reports and configuration options, the UI can feel overwhelming until you learn where everything lives. > > ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is a strong, dependable auditing platform for hybrid identity environments. Its combination of on‑prem AD auditing, Azure AD visibility, real‑time alerts, and compliance‑ready reporting makes it a compelling choice for organizations that need to strengthen security posture and simplify audit preparation. If your environment spans both Active Directory and Azure AD — which is true for most modern organizations — ADAudit Plus provides a unified, practical, and cost‑effective way to monitor identity activity across your entire ecosystem. ----- ### "Centralized AD Visibility with Actionable Dashboards and Reporting" — 5.0/5 > **Puneet** | *23 June 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have more than 5000 users and more than 5000 computers in AD. ManageEngine ADAudit Plus dashboard provides centralized visibility into key Active Directory metrics and user activities, including the total number of enabled and disabled user accounts, computer accounts joined to the domain, service accounts, privileged accounts, and group memberships. It offers trend analysis and detailed reporting on user logon activities, account creations, modifications, deletions, password changes, account lockouts, and inactive accounts. The dashboard also helps monitor domain growth, identify orphaned or stale accounts, track administrative changes, and provide management with actionable insights into the overall health, security, and compliance status of the Active Directory environment. > > **Cons**: I would not say that we dislike the solution. I have not yet explored the possibility of integrating it via APIs with the IT Infrastructure Control Tower. My preference is to avoid identity management operating in a silo and instead ensure it is integrated with the enterprise SSO and application identity ecosystem, providing centralized visibility, governance, and control. > > It helps me with dashboarding and real-time alerts, such as when a user is added to Domain Admins, a GPO is modified, security logs are cleared, or there is mass user creation or deletion. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/210774/adaudit-plus?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/210774/adaudit-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
