ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus Reviews

Excellent product

Comments: Ease of Daily password activities.

Pros:

Users can reset their password from any where.We published the application over the Internet and our customers around the globe use it for Resetting/Unlocking their password.

Cons:

More Authentication security like Pulling the Employee ID for verification. Currently is pulling the name from AD, if we have some custom attribute in AD and we want to bind that custom attribute for verification.

ADSelf Service Plus solves a lot of issues we have with On-prem AD and Hybrid

Comments: Overall Ad selfservice plus makes management of passwords super easy. We don't use it for the SSO and Multifactor Auth so much, but I imagine if you aren't using AZure AD, this would be a fantastic way to get those features for a local domain.

Pros:

This solves the biggest problems we have with password resets. Both the need for users to reset their own passwords remotely, but also so update locally cached passwords for our Hybrid Joined devices. The software is able to open up its own VPN connection to our On-Prem server for that update and it makes password resets extremely smooth.

Cons:

I haven't really had any negative experiences yet with the software.

Adservices is bad

Comments: None

Pros:

None. I don’t like the adservices because they have problems!

Cons:

When I changed passwords or try to log in. They are too slow! They always have problems!

A Great Integration Tool for Identity Self-service

Pros:

I like the fact that you can integrate into other platforms and make use of one password across all of them.

Cons:

Managed Engine is a powerful platform that has so many great features. Any con could be that it has to be integrated into other platfoms like IBM.

A robust, web-based, multi-platform, self-service solution

Pros:

This software provides our end users with a web-based, self-service solution for issues related to password reset management and account lockout. This has effectively reduced up to a third of our most urgent helpdesk issues allowing us to maximize IT resources. Both the enterprise and its users can feel secure with the multi-factor authentication techniques Single sign-on (SSO) feature based on Microsoft Windows Active Directory enables our users to have seamless, one-click access to cloud and enterprise applications such as G Suite, Office 365, and Zendesk Free SMS, email and push notifications notify our end-users that their password is about to expire and recommend a password change to prevent lockout.

Cons:

There have been times when we had problems because the user has forgotten the answers to their security questions, but support was very helpful and the issue was resolved quickly.

Easy to use

Comments: Lower support costs, less burnout from unlocking accounts and resetting passwords.

Pros:

Ad self service plus was very easy to configure and start using with our employees. It has saved our IT support staff many hours responding to locked out users accounts and forgotten passwords. Since we are a 24x7 business, it is especially helpful for employees help themselves instead of waking up the support person on call.

Cons:

I haven't been able to get the automated answer import to work. I have scheduled a job that imports a daily generated csv file from our hr system, but I can only run it manually. I have a ticket open to get it resolved, so hopefully we can start utilizing the full functionality soon.

More Flexibility from a Password Reset Tool Than Offered by Microsoft

Comments: I've been using ManageEngine tools for a few years now. My organization held off on implementing AD because we heard some of the horror stories of managing it and keeping it safe and secure. ManageEngine makes several tools that make AD management significantly, and ADSelfService Plus is no exception. Its one of those tools that largely goes unnoticed, but its something that we can't live without.

Pros:

When my organization implemented AD, one of the first questions that came up was "How can we make sure our users are notified when their passwords will expired, before they actually expire?" Another question was "How can we give them a safe and secure way to change the password if they are remote?" ADSelfService Plus was able to answer both of these questions for us, and it does so with ease. This is largely a set it and forget it tool for us - rarely do I ever have to go back and make changes. It just works, which is a high mark for any software.

Cons:

For the price, I'd expect a little bit more functionality. Yes, this is a pretty basic tool that does its job well, but it is a little pricey for doing that basic job.

Support in AD Solution is perfect

Comments: saving customer time

Pros:

Self Service For users , saving engineer time to handle more requests by enrolling all users to change, reset, unlock and change their passwords

Cons:

Documentation need more enhancements , even workshops videos provided by marketing team need to be more short and focused

Great team and easy to work with so far.

Pros:

Seems to be easy to use and to get users on board. The layout is easy to understand and works with good logic flow.

Cons:

Sometimes it hangs up, but that could change in time. When you hit a back button that can throw you off.

Great for unlocking and resetting passwords

Pros:

Free for up to 50 users, free trial, and easy to setup. This is a great solution for those field users that never get into the office or have a domain joined PC. They can reset their password from a web page of mobile app.

Cons:

A little bit of trouble securing it with SSL, but all in all very little issues. Maybe a perpetual licensing model would be nice too.

Resetting Passwords, A Thing Of The Past

Comments: Selling AD Self Service has allowed me to make the lives of my customers much easier.
There is so much more to this tool as well, when it is fully in use, the users are able to manage their own AD profile.

Pros:

The price of AD Self Service is very appealing, for the amount of time and effect it saves an IT Team compared to the cost of the tool, is incomparable. The ease of deployment and use makes it very easy for the users to get the hang of.

Cons:

It is hard to say exactly, but the one thing that I am not fond of is the user enrollment, it is a once off thing but sometimes, getting the users to enroll takes time.

A self-service solution that is easy to implement and use

Comments: In general, it has been a pretty good experience, since it has helped us a lot to improve the operation, considerably reduced the number of requests handled by the IT area, and because we have recovered time to work on improvements in the area.

Pros:

It is a very easy solution to implement and use. And it is very useful for us. ADSelf Service Plus has helped us minimize the number of requests related to account reset or unlock.

Cons:

I think the UI design could be improved, it is currently very simple, but it should be more dynamic.

Provides end-users a possibility to unlock/reset their own password 24/7

Comments: We've been using this software for a few years now and are satisfied with the result it has provided us. The main goal was to provide the end-users a possibility to unlock or reset their account, 24/7. Often someone's account got locked-out out of business hours which blocked him/her from continuing work. This tool provided the solution we were looking for. It also integrates in Windows so the user can reset his/her password at the logon screen.

Pros:

- Integration with Windows (reset/unlock at logon screen) - Very helpful customer support!! - Release some work from 1st line support - Accessible 24/7

Cons:

- Reset is based on questions which a few end-users forget the answer to. It would be nice to have a SMS or call feature, together with a personal PIN, which can provide you a code to reset your password.

Great easy tool to help administer AD and login issues

Comments: brought down user lockout due to expired password by about 95 %

Pros:

Like that i can send out emails to notify that users passwords are going to expire. like that i can have users supervisors reset logins for their reps without having to give them admin access to server.

Cons:

I don't really get notified if someone does not receive the password expire notification. 90% of the time when they say they don't get it they did and just ignored it.

Advantageous program for Time Management

Comments: Reduction of incoming calls during the day. More happy end users. I can use the time allocated to end-user transactions in my own business.

Pros:

An application designed for end users to solve their own problems. They can do small tasks themselves without problems.

Cons:

I have not encountered any negative side

This is a great tool to help your users reset their passwords or unlock accounts

Pros:

This is a great tool to help your users reset their passwords or unlock accounts. It send reminders to the users that their password is expiring and it has a portal that let the users login to change their passwords or unlock their account.

Cons:

sometimes the software can be a little buggy, because it won't let the users unlock their account and then they need administrators to help them.

You no longer need to contact the IT department

Pros:

In accordance with company policies, you should make password changes at regular intervals. In this case, you may need IT staff. Thanks to SelfService application you can do many transactions on your own account yourself.

Cons:

I did not experience a negative situation due to the practice. He solved my problem whenever I needed it.

Great Product, Poor Support

Pros:

-Great feature set -Deployment flexibility -Deep web GUI customization

Cons:

-Poor customer support -Web interface tends to look a bit dated

Lots of users to change passwords? Let this work to themselves!

Comments: The software that Microsoft should have done before. Easy to use and helps our users a lot! No more tickets open and users without work cause of tickets waiting to be finished.

Pros:

A portal to users recover their passwords quickly and regain access to systems or desktops, or whatever needed; Recover using secret questions and answers created by the users at signup; Recover from web, app or even from the own desktop using a web page before logon (Windows logon screen)

Great support and information

Pros:

Easy to use and setup, can be customized with branding so our end users can see the software is our own and then they are more likely to use it.

Cons:

Step upgrades so you have to do them on order one after the other, would be good to go straight to the latest.

Password Tool (reset passwords

Pros:

Save in time by having users register questions and reset their own password. Notify users of passwords about to expire Free for 50 users or less (reasonably priced above that) Easy way for MAC users to reset domain passwords

Cons:

Like everything ManageEngine, when it works it works well, but you have to manage the application.

Amazing customer service. Would definitely recommend it to any peers

Comments: Manage my daily ICT tasks

Pros:

It's so easy to use and very explicit and user-friendly. It gives and has the options available for users who just have to select the right option for their issue.

Cons:

Can't think of anything. It does satisfy my needs and there is nothing which I can see is a minus point. However, if a user guide can be made available on how to set it up, that would be really amazing.

Support for SSL Cert install on ADSelfService Plus

Comments: Each time I needed Support for this ADSelfService product, it has been truly outstanding. I am very impressed with the quality of support help, and of the knowledge of the staff each time I have requested help! Great job, folks!

Pros:

The software provides a much-needed service that permits our users to use a web-based portal to reset expired accounts, and it was fairly easy to set up. Newer security features such as multi-factor authentication bring our AD services here up to current standards. It is a great product, and is very affordable.

Cons:

The only thing I would like to see improvement on, is the SSL Certificate installation. As a Windows server company, all of our other SSL Certificates utilize the Windows IIS standard installation methods. I found this use of Tomcat server and Keytool / Keystore with it's command line issues, to be fairly difficult to manage. This is what caused me to need the Support help.

excellent, reliable, and support if you need it is great

Comments: increased productivity

Pros:

it allows users to manage there own AD experience without the need for the service desk to get involved in day to day tasks such as password resets

Cons:

nothing, really, in the beginning it was a little slow but a VM upgrade and some minor changes made by the support guys fixed this.

Very positive overall

Comments: Allows users to solve their own password issues.

Pros:

it allows us to have our users be able to reset and change their passwords in a secure way, leaving IT resources to work on other issues.

Cons:

It can be finicky. Some users reported having to re-enroll because the secure question answers didn't work.
