What ManageEngine ADManager Plus is
ManageEngine ADManager Plus is an Active Directory administration tool with delegated administration, auditing, lifecycle automation, and reporting. It is listed for web, Windows, iOS, Android, and on-premises use, with on-premises deployment specified. Its pricing model is described as freemium, but there is no free plan. Professional Edition users billed under an annual license can purchase the Governance, Risk and Compliance add-on for $495 a year. It adds access certification campaigns, identity risk assessment, risk exposure management, and a centralized entitlements overview. The add-on is an extra purchase for eligible Professional Edition users, rather than a price for the full product. ManageEngine was founded in 1996.
