Chose Diligent One Platform
Diligent One Platform has better reviews, dashboards, and tracking management. The interface is clean, easy to read, and nicely organized. The reporting tool and tracker management aspect is nicely done. The learning curve is not high since we have users of all levels, from …
Chose Diligent One Platform
It has better reviews than any of the competition and provides more features and dashboards for tracking and monitoring. Though the Initial investment was high, the benefits of compliance, BCP, and risk management helped to make the decision.
Chose Diligent One Platform
We were using an older version of Teammate that was being retired. The new implementation prompted us to reevaluate the legacy platform and see if there were other systems that be simpler and less costly.
Chose Diligent One Platform
Digital one was focused on risk and governance while other tools we reviewed were more generic for data analysis across different use cases. As a heavily regulated industry, we needed a dedicated risk monitoring framework and Digital One helped accomplish that
Chose Diligent One Platform
I'm excited about diligent due to the fact that they provide many tools to support compliance through use of analytics and testing processes. We also use FloQast, for which I'm an advocate for, however I'm not sure they have expanded yet to support analytics and testing. I …

For AD auditing management, an AD audit is one of the top tools on the market. I have not found anything lacking or missing in either the reports or the platform.

All products have their niche.
What stood out for us - 1) we use other products from manageengine. Made sense to keep it to one pane of glass, so to speak.
2) price. at the price point we got a lot for our buck. 3) features. It does exactly what we needed.
Chose ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
ADAudit had a better ability to easily customize reports. Also the interface was snappier. Netrix was kind of clunky to use and not as intuitive.
Chose ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
I have not tried any other products as this hit the requirements and delivery first shot.
Chose ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
somewhat the same features
Chose ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
ManageEngine is very cheaper to get into and expand its use. It's a robust but not quite as powerful application as something like Quest or others. But for the most prevalent and needed, AD reporting requirements will meet your needs and expectations.
Chose ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
For AD Auditing, this software provides the reporting we need more than other products.
Chose ManageEngine ADAudit Plus
Cheap and cheerful entry-level products. I feel they have tried to cover a lot of areas but poorly executed each one. They seem to spend more time re-designing the UI that fixing issues. For example, it has been a year since we requested 256-bit BitLocker. By the time they get …

With other manufacturers, you must have 1, 2 and up to 3 tools to carry out the audit that can be done, as long as it is licensed, from a single console such as ADAudit Plus.

Used and tested various other products before settling down with ADAudit Plus in the past, and never have the organization regretted its decision to go with this product over others. It's lightweight and fast and does what it needs to be without being an annoyance. Best of all, …

Board member meetings and discussions around governance, compliance, financial risk analysis, and risk management. The sharing of confidential documents is very secure and well-suited to use. The security of discussion is a great feature among members and leadership. Business record management is easily shared and managed, and we’re very pleased with the outcome.

ManageEngine is mostly a "check the box" solution for SIEM systems. We needed something that satisfied our customer and was cost-effective. I would highly rate the system on "worth what paid for". Support is eager to please and prompt. My only issue is that it's mostly based outside the US with helpful, but non-native speakers so it's hard to understand them. I wish they would spring for better help "phone lines" so I'm not dealing with difficult to understand and unclear speakers.

Pros
  • Enhance business compliance by maintaining records and documents for all our processes and reports, which allows us to not worry about training new people in case resources are transferred.
  • We integrated risk assessment tools and business continuity plans, which allowed proactive identification and mitigation of potential business risks.
  • It helped to secure communication channels with confidential discussions and document sharing among team members and leadership.

  • Logons - reports are very clean and concise and accurate
  • Account Lockouts - very challenging to do without ManageEngine ADAudit Plus. The tool allows us to easily locate the device or, at the very least, point us in the right direction!
  • AD change management - IT admins should consider this a necessity, and ManageEngine ADAudit Plus facilitates this seamlessly

Cons
  • Improve the TPRM functionality
  • Improve the functionality and features of Risk Manager to be more complete so that it covers the whole spread from ERM to individual risk assessments.
  • Improve their overall UI/UX.
  • Provide a lot more ready robots for customers to use for all the basic areas. For e.g. user access udit for source repos from different vendors, etc.

  • In earlier releases there were quite a few bugs and performance issues. These have since been resolved.
  • When integrated with the Log360 Suite, it can be confusing on whether EventLog Analyzer or ADAudit Plus are "managing"/"Ingesting" the data from a given endpoint.

It works great for everything we need and use. Any issues in the software are pretty easy to resolve with tech support. And they are very responsive to resolving issues. Even ones where a fix/patch are required. At present, the software does everything we need it to for compliance, audit, and account review.

ADAudit with its cloud and on prem install option allows any organization to get in on AD report management. Whether you need to report internally only for for external audit controls its a great tool with flexibility to handle most any user or group report capability. Since this also includes m365 integration it enables IT pros to administer usage, license, cost control and permission access to most anything in Microsoft's portfolio. Its a great tool all around for AD integrated access needs.

HighBond by Galvanize support has some of the best and fastest support that I have experienced. Though we only contact them through emails, they were quick to provide insightful information about our problems. Whenever we email them about an issue, they would be able to reply in less than an hour, ready and prepared with useful solutions to address the issue.

I was not involved in the implementation, but i do think the interface works well and is a great tool to centralize our compliance program. I'm currently in the process of exploring many of the advanced features and using the Diligent Academy to learn about some of these exciting features to add value to our organization. I recently attended a CPE and was very impressed with the presenters and their energy and knowledge of the product

Return on Investment
  • A lot of time and efficiency has been saved for my team as we continue to find different ways to automate tests, continuous monitoring projects, etc. We have been able to shift our focus on enhancement projects that previously had been on the back burner until we had switched to the Diligent One Platform.

The visibility of changes made in AD are very helpfull. We had an admin that made a change in a GPO that causes some strange behaviour in our environment. Normally that would take days to find, especially because the admin was a few days out of office and couldnt tell us the change he made. But after looking into our alerts we found very fast the specific change that was made to a GPO that pointed us in the right direction to solve the problem within 30 minutes.
  • No more ghost accounts and password never expires in our AD, the security level is therefore much higher then it was before. And we need less manhour to maintain that.
  • Before ADAuditplus we had several hundred accounts with password never expires and at least 15 changes on that item every week. Since we have ADaudtiplus we have no accounts with password never expires and we only see modifications on that item sometimes when a new IT employee starts within our group. IT crew learns fast what to do and especially what NOT to do in our environment to keep things secure.
  • Before ADAuditPlus I wrote PowerShell scripts to create reports for management, since ADAuditplus the reports are build automatically every month and send to management.
