Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the product to track events and monitor logs of servers and workstations. I am impressed with the tool's tracking ability. It is intuitive and easy to use.""The documentation for this solution is good.""The monitoring and reporting are extensive and we get all the information we need while they continue to enhance the capabilities of the product.""The Account Lockout Analyzer and the Inactive Users reports are particularly valuable.""Real-time monitoring of AD changes and logons is valuable.""The most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADAudit Plus is its reports.""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.""ADAudit Plus's best features are that it's very easy to use with a user-friendly interface, and it gives reports on group policy and object changes that we couldn't find in any other product."

"The solution has a component that monitors Active Directory through an agent. It also monitors end-user activity. It gives us insight into what's happening on file servers and in our domain or the directory."

Cons
"It assists in managing the active directory and modifying the reintegrated GPOs.""Its configuration can be better. There were 44 pages of documented notes of what I had to do to get the product to work during the installation process.""The initial setup was quite complex and required some research beforehand.""ADAudit could have a more sophisticated interface design. They are using a plain UI, which is decent. However, customers have said that it looks a little flat compared to other vendors. It's not fancy.""The solution's managing file server activity could be improved.""There are so many reports that it sometimes makes it difficult to navigate to what you need.""The initial setup was difficult.""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."

    Overview

    In real-time, ensure critical resources in the network like the Domain Controllers are audited, monitored and reported with the entire information on AD objects - Users, Groups, GPO, Computer, OU, DNS, AD Schema and Configuration changes with 200+ detailed event specific GUI reports and email alerts.

    For years, organizations have struggled to obtain contextual, actionable intelligence from their critical Microsoft infrastructure to address security, compliance, and operational requirements. Even after filling SIEM and other log aggregation technologies with every event possible, critical details get lost in the noise or are missing altogether. As attackers continue to leverage more sophisticated methods to elude detection, the need for a better way to detect and control changes and activities that violate policy is vital to security and compliance.

    Without any reliance on native logging, StealthINTERCEPT is able to detect and optionally prevent any change, authentication, or request against Active Directory in real-time and with surgical accuracy. From password complexity and restrictions to LDAP requests, low-level process injection to cross-tier authentications, objects, attributes, Group Policy, and DNS, StealthINTERCEPT combines cutting-edge technology and recommended best practices to elevate Active Directory security to a whole new level.
