Set up was easy and functions were easy to find. > > **Cons**: I don't really have anything negative to say about the platform. I wish pricing was a little more transparent on the websites though. ----- ### "ADAudit Plus Review" — 4.0/5 > **Kevin** | *June 22, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to log all AD traffic. The ability to send alerts on major issues such as account lockout, privileged account usage, elevation of privileges and group membership changes. > > **Cons**: No direct integration with Jira Service Management. Configuration is not straightforward. Documentation is poor. License renewals in the past have had multiple salespeople reaching out. We have never had 1 account rep. > > The interface is a bit dated, but it provides valuable insight into our domain authentication and access. It comes in handy during SOC 2 audits for log retention and availability. Customization can be difficult and non-intuitive. ----- ### "ManageEngine ADAudit Plus" — 3.0/5 > **Akshila** | *October 19, 2021* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most attractive thing about this tool is the reporting, the reports are very accurate and really understandable. And the web-based is really easy to use. > > **Cons**: Still no any errors found about this tool > > Overall this is a really good solution for finding compliance and audit issues related to Active Directory. can ----- ### "AD Audit Plus is a great product and value for the money" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *June 23, 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of initial setup and the reports that can be generated from it are what drove me to want to use it initially. It has so many features that can be used and the setup can be very complex if you really want to dive in, but the nice thing is that it can be done over time. The initial setup to get it reporting and allowing you to make changes from it are very easy and quick. I have had very few issues with it and when I did have to reach out to support, they were very helpful. Quick to respond and answered all my questions. One of the best features of this product is the cost. > > **Cons**: I would say the only issue I have with any of the products is the amount of RAM that it takes to run the applications, but at least before, that was cheap. > > Overall it has been great. Very easy to use and setup. Gives me the reports that i need and allows me to monitor AD in a way that is what i need. ----- ### "ADAudit Plus gives clear, real-time tracking of what’s happening in your Active Directory" — 5.0/5 > **Ong** | *June 23, 2026* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ADAudit Plus gives clear, real-time tracking of what’s happening in your Active Directory—logons, file access, group changes, GPO modifications, and more. > > **Cons**: While ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is powerful, it does have some common drawbacks that users (especially engineers and admins) often point out: Limited correlation across non-AD systems. > > My overall experience with ManageEngine ADAudit Plus has been positive, particularly for Active Directory visibility, auditing, and compliance use cases. The tool significantly improves how we monitor and track AD activities. Instead of relying on raw Windows event logs—which are difficult to interpret—it provides centralized, well-structured, and actionable insights. This has made day-to-day operations, troubleshooting, and security investigations much more efficient. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91821/adaudit-plus?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91821/adaudit-plus) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
