The Problem
Operating at the forefront of digital resilience and cyber protection, Digital14 understands the importance of effectively monitoring and tracking security-related audit logs. The company encountered difficulties with its existing system, which was unable to log the data from Active Directory and file servers effectively. This presented a formidable challenge, as the lack of detailed logging posed potential security risks, hampered troubleshooting, and complicated the audit compliance process.
The company was also in search of a solution that was intuitive and user-friendly. The complexity of its former system was a hindrance to productivity, and the lack of an easy-to-navigate solution led to inefficiencies in tracking and auditing system activities. Jiyad Mundoly, the system engineer at Digital14, underscored this issue, remarking on his struggle with security-related audit logs and the subsequent issues that arose when similar problems were encountered with file servers. The ideal solution needed to solve these problems while being easy to use, even for employees without in-depth technical knowledge.
The outcome
Implementing ManageEngine's ADAudit Plus proved transformative for Digital14. As a key component of ManageEngine's IAM solution AD360, ADAudit Plus' user-friendly and intuitive interface was appreciated by Mundoly, who said, "I find it extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate." This ease of use removed the hurdles experienced with the previous system, leading to greater efficiency and productivity in managing security audits.
ADAudit Plus' comprehensive reporting was a game-changer for Digital14. ADAudit Plus enabled the organization's IT team to instantly configure and dispatch automatically generated reports that provided real-time data and insights into system activities. The impact of this feature was highlighted by Mundoly, who described it as very effective, adding, "We have set up reports to be generated via email, which comes in handy."
Moreover, ADAudit Plus' user monitoring capability, particularly its lockout analyzer, garnered high praise. The company can now track and analyze user activities and lockouts, which provides an additional layer of security and has further streamlined its IT management process.
Digital14's experience was further enriched by the excellent support from ADAudit Plus' team. Mundoly lauded the assistance they received, comparing it favorably to their experiences with other vendors' support.
Given these improvements and the substantial upgrade to their IT management process, Mundoly and his team are extremely satisfied with ADAudit Plus as an AD auditing solution. They rate the product highly and would recommend it to others, attesting to the significant value ADAudit Plus has brought to the company's operations.
