DSRAZOR for Windows vs. ManageEngine ADAudit Plus

Quickly identify both NTFS and share permissions for files and folders, and determine ownership of files within your shared disk space. Effectively manage NTFS security permissions and eliminate any undesirable file security permissions. With the use of a trustee report, you can adjust existing permissions, add new trustees, duplicate trustees, modify trustee permissions for a selected Active Directory (AD) object, and remove trustee assignments for that object. Additionally, you can revoke 'Read' permissions from the shared space and eliminate 'List Folder Contents' from the NTFS permissions related to the share, as well as locate files or folders without owners (Orphaned SID) and remove them. Generate reports detailing users, groups, and computers while ensuring that the attributes of your Active Directory objects align with your organization’s standards. Identify accounts that have been locked, disabled, expired, or remain unused for a specified number of days. Streamline Active Directory management by automating routine tasks such as synchronizing your Student Information System (SIS) with Active Directory, creating, importing, and updating users, groups, and computers, all while allowing for bulk management without the need for scripting. You can also move or delete inactive users, groups, and computers, and perform bulk password resets, as well as import large sets of data from a CSV file to enhance efficiency in user account management.

ADAudit Plus offers comprehensive insights into all activities within your Windows Server environment, ensuring both safety and compliance. This tool provides an organized perspective on modifications made to your Active Directory (AD) resources, encompassing AD objects, their attributes, group policies, and much more. By implementing AD auditing, you can identify and address insider threats, misuse of privileges, or other potential security breaches. It grants a thorough overview of all elements in AD, including users, computers, groups, organizational units, and group policy objects. You can monitor user management actions such as deletions, password resets, and changes in permissions, along with information detailing who performed these actions, what was done, when it happened, and where. To maintain a principle of least privilege, it's essential to track additions and removals from both security and distribution groups, enabling better oversight of user access rights. This ongoing vigilance not only helps in compliance but also fortifies the overall security posture of your server environment.
