## Reviews

### "New to AD plus like what I see so far" — 4.0/5

> **Guy** | *25 February 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I’ve been using Ad audit for about six months. It’s a solid tool with a user friendly GUI and impressive live auditing, especially when it comes to file activity and monitoring. &#10;&#10;The dashboard makes it easy to drill down into events, improving visibility.
> 
> **Cons**: Setup was a bit tricky some manual config in Active Directory was needed for full integration. Updating the tool was a bit tricky as well.

-----

### "Understand this is a tool worth recommending" — 4.0/5

> **Victor** | *18 December 2024* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I have liked most about this tool is it's auditing of file capability through monitoring of file creation, file editing, and other security features in real time.
> 
> **Cons**: Cost is the only limiting factor here, this tool is seriously expensive

-----

### "Enhanced visibility into user activities and file access​" — 4.0/5

> **Lucia** | *25 April 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: IADAudit Plus was very helpful at tracking user logon activity across our network as well as file access. By monitoring these events, we have already been tracking down some unusual patterns which may mean security threat, so we can act accordingly before it does any harm.​
> 
> **Cons**: One of the limitations was that native support for auditing non Windows file servers was not available. To have such intelligent coverage level of monitoring we had to implement extra tools which also lead further complexity.

-----

### "AD monitoring has enabled comprehensive security oversight​" — 4.0/5

> **Nermin** | *23 April 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: With ADAudit Plus I can audit Active Directory changes deeply and get real-time alerts about the changes made to the user accounts or group membership, or any GPOs. Having this immediate visibility into these important changes has been a key factor in helping ensure we maintain a chronic level of security in our organization.
> 
> **Cons**: The integration was rather easy except that it required additional configuration for some third party SIEM solutions. This created more complexity during the first setup phase and we needed to further collaborate with our security team to let data flow without a hitch.​

### "ManageEngine ADAudit Plus Review" — 5.0/5

> **Donald** | *19 February 2025* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is that I could pull reports of risky logins and see who logged in from where when I needed to review a Risky login report.
> 
> **Cons**: The only feature I do not like much about ADAudit Plus is the fact that in my eyes alot fo the funcatlity can be done in a normal Azure dashboard.
> 
> ManageEngine ADAudit Plus it is a very easy product to use and will make your life easier the more you utlie it, I had to run reports of users who had Bad logins/risky logins and it made it a breeze for me to review them
