Hey everyone! We're a medium-sized logistics company on the lookout for an efficient tool to manage our Active Directory as well as NTFS permissions. Previously, we used SolarWinds' Access Rights Manager, but we're avoiding it now due to their poor support. We've also checked out ManageEngine AD Manager Plus, but it seems a bit bloated and not very user-friendly. Are there any other solid tools out there for managing Active Directory effectively?

I’ve heard good things about Adaxes for AD management. It might be worth looking into!
Back in the day, I used Hyena for AD management, but that was ages ago. Nowadays, PowerShell seems to be the go-to. Could you share more about the specific tasks you need help with? Sometimes the built-in tools are all you need.
I think a lot of people overlook the built-in Microsoft tools for AD. They’ve been around forever and are pretty reliable. If automation or bulk data tasks are your goals, PowerShell is definitely the way to go.
PowerShell is the way I handle AD management too. It's super powerful, but I get it if your team isn't familiar with it. For auditing and reporting, tools like ManageEngine are decent enough. They’re affordable and provide some useful features, even if they aren’t the simplest.
