The five pieces of the platform
Vendors love diagrams; buyers need to know what they’re actually operating. Here’s the whole platform, demystified.
ADManager Plus
AD and Microsoft 365 management — user provisioning and deprovisioning, helpdesk delegation, bulk management, templates and 200+ reports — so identities are created, changed and removed safely and fast, without raw AD tools. The day-to-day identity workhorse. Manage AD/M365 without the pain.
ADAudit Plus
Real-time Active Directory change auditing plus user behaviour analytics (UBA) — every logon, permission change and object modification tracked, with anomaly detection for insider and account-compromise threats. See who did what, when. Audit and threat detection, built in.
ADSelfService Plus
Self-service password reset and account unlock, multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and password-policy enforcement — so users help themselves and access is secured. Cut password-reset helpdesk load; add MFA. Secure, self-service access.
M365 & access governance
Microsoft 365 and Exchange management plus access certification and reporting — review who has access to what, attest, and report for compliance — light identity governance over your AD/M365 estate. Govern access without a heavyweight IGA project. Right access, reviewed.
Affordable + On-Prem/Cloud + Zia
Transparent per-domain / per-technician / per-object pricing (free editions for some AD tools), deployment on-premises OR in the cloud (data-localisation ready), and Zia AI woven in — integrated AD/M365 IAM without the enterprise-IGA cost or cloud-only lock-in. Value and choice, now AI-powered.
One agent on every machine, one console over all of them — modules attach without a second operational world.
Twelve capabilities. Manage, secure, govern.
AD360 gives you integrated AD/M365 identity management, auditing and self-service at a fraction of enterprise-IGA cost — on-premises or cloud — the IAM suite of portfolio, and paired with the human firewall.
User Provisioning & Deprovisioning
Create, modify and disable AD and Microsoft 365 users — with templates, automation and rules — so onboarding and offboarding are fast, consistent and safe (no orphaned accounts). Lifecycle done right. Right access, from day one to last day.
Bulk Management & Templates
Bulk-create and bulk-modify AD/M365 objects using templates and CSV — so mass changes (new joiners, reorgs, cleanups) take minutes, not scripts. Manage at scale, without PowerShell pain. Do a thousand as easily as one.
Secure Helpdesk Delegation
Delegate specific AD/M365 tasks (password resets, group changes) to helpdesk and non-admins — granularly, without handing out Domain Admin — with a full audit trail. Least privilege for the helpdesk. Delegate safely, not dangerously.
AD/M365 Reporting
200+ pre-built AD and Microsoft 365 reports — inactive users, stale accounts, group memberships, licences, security — so you see and clean up your estate for hygiene and audits. Visibility, out of the box. Know your directory.
Real-Time AD Change Auditing
Audit every Active Directory change in real time — logons, permission and GPO changes, object modifications, lockouts — with instant alerts, so nothing happens in your directory unseen. The security lens on AD. See who did what, when.
User Behaviour Analytics (UBA)
UBA baselines normal user behaviour and flags anomalies — unusual logons, mass changes, privilege abuse — to catch insider threats and compromised accounts that rules miss. Spot the abnormal. Threat detection on your identity plane.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Add MFA to Windows logons, VPN, OWA and applications — with multiple factors (authenticator, push, biometrics, TOTP) — so a stolen password alone can't get in. Stop credential-based attacks. A second factor everywhere.
Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR)
Let users reset passwords and unlock accounts themselves — securely, from web, mobile or the logon screen — slashing the biggest helpdesk ticket category. Fewer calls, happier users. Passwords, self-served.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Single sign-on to enterprise applications from one AD identity — fewer passwords, less friction, more control — with password-policy enforcement to keep credentials strong. One login, many apps. Access, simplified and secured.
Access Review & Certification
Review and certify who has access to what across AD/M365 — attest access, spot excess privilege, and report for compliance — light identity governance without a heavyweight IGA project. Right access, reviewed. Govern the essentials.
On-Premises OR Cloud
Deploy AD360 on-premises (in your own environment) OR in the cloud — a genuine choice that data-localisation-sensitive Indian govt, BFSI and regulated organisations value for identity data. Your directory data, your way. Choice, not lock-in.
Zia — Agentic AI
Zia, ManageEngine's AI (rolling across the suite), brings AI to identity — anomaly insights, assisted analysis and (increasingly) autonomous agents — keeping AD/M365 IAM modern. AI woven into identity. Smarter, safer access.

Here’s what genuinely sets AD360 apart (and when SailPoint/Quest/Entra fit).
Affordable, integrated AD/M365 identity — not a heavyweight IGA project
The core reason AD360 is chosen is VALUE — it brings AD and Microsoft 365 identity management, auditing and self-service together in one integrated, genuinely affordable suite, with transparent pricing and free editions for some tools. The problem it solves: Active Directory and M365 identity is complex and everyday — provisioning and deprovisioning users, delegating helpdesk tasks safely, auditing every change for security and compliance, and reducing the endless password-reset tickets. Raw AD tools are clunky and dangerous (over-privileged admins, no audit trail), while full enterprise IGA platforms (SailPoint, Saviynt) are powerful but expensive and heavy — overkill for organisations that mainly need to run AD/M365 well. There's a real gap between raw-and-risky and heavyweight-and-expensive. What AD360 provides: AD360 fills that gap — integrated AD/M365 IAM at a genuinely affordable price: One console — management (ADManager Plus), auditing and UBA (ADAudit Plus), and self-service/MFA/SSO (ADSelfService Plus) unified, so identity work happens in one place, not three tools. Transparent, published pricing — per-domain / per-technician / per-object, with clear editions and FREE editions for some AD tools (a real plus). Fast and easy — up and running quickly, no consultant-heavy multi-month project. Focused on AD/M365 — purpose-built for the Microsoft directory estate most organisations actually run. So you get capable, integrated identity management, auditing and self-service — covering the identity work most organisations need — at a cost and simplicity that's easy to justify. Why it matters: affordability plus integration means you run AD/M365 identity properly — safe provisioning, real auditing, self-service, MFA — without overspending on a heavyweight IGA suite you don't need. For the many organisations whose identity centre of gravity is AD/M365, AD360 is a compelling, pragmatic choice. (Honest note: for full enterprise identity governance — broad app provisioning, certification campaigns, SoD — SailPoint/Saviynt lead; AD360 targets AD/M365 management, auditing and self-service, not deep IGA.) The value: AD360 delivers integrated AD/M365 identity management, auditing and self-service at a fraction of enterprise-IGA cost — transparent pricing, free tools, fast setup. For pragmatic, affordable identity, this matters. TechBag helps organisations run AD/M365 identity affordably with AD360. TechBag helps you manage identity without overspending.
On-premises OR cloud — the data-localisation choice for identity data (a real India edge)
A defining strength of AD360 — especially for India — is that it runs BOTH on-premises AND in the cloud, so you choose where your identity data lives, which is a genuine advantage over cloud-only rivals for regulated, government and data-localisation-sensitive organisations. The problem it solves: identity data is the most sensitive data an organisation holds — who your people are, what they can access. Many modern identity tools (cloud-native IGA, cloud IdPs) are cloud-only, which is fine for many but a real problem for organisations that need or prefer to keep identity data on-premises or in-country: government bodies, BFSI (with RBI and regulatory data requirements), defence, and any organisation with data-sovereignty or localisation mandates. Cloud-only forces their hand. What AD360 provides: a genuine deployment CHOICE: On-premises — deploy and run AD360 entirely in your own environment (your data centre or private cloud), sitting right next to your on-prem Active Directory, so all identity data stays under your control, meeting on-prem/sovereignty mandates. Cloud — or choose the cloud option if you prefer no infrastructure to run. India data centres — for the cloud option, ManageEngine operates data centres in Chennai and Mumbai, keeping data in-region. Your choice — you decide based on your compliance, security and operational needs, not the vendor's. So organisations that CAN'T or WON'T put identity data in a foreign cloud — a significant share of Indian govt, BFSI and regulated buyers — can run mature AD/M365 IAM on-premises, which cloud-only rivals simply can't offer. Why it matters: the on-prem (and in-country cloud) option directly answers data-localisation, sovereignty and regulatory requirements that are increasingly important in India — it's a real, defensible differentiator, and it also fits organisations whose directory is still primarily on-prem AD. For organisations where identity-data location matters, this choice is often decisive. The value: AD360 runs on-premises OR in the cloud (with India data centres) — a genuine deployment choice that answers data-localisation and sovereignty needs for identity data. For regulated and Indian organisations, this matters. TechBag helps organisations deploy AD360 their way. TechBag helps you keep your identity data where it must be.
Manage, secure AND self-service — the whole AD/M365 identity job, together
A core strength of AD360 is that it covers the WHOLE everyday identity job — management, real-time auditing with threat detection, AND self-service with MFA — in one integrated suite, so you're not stitching together separate tools. The problem it solves: organisations often solve AD/M365 identity piecemeal — a management tool here, an audit tool there, a separate MFA/SSPR product — with no integration, duplicated effort and gaps. Identity needs management, security and access to work together. What AD360 provides: the three pillars, unified: Manage (ADManager Plus) — provisioning, deprovisioning, delegation, bulk management, 200+ reports across AD and M365. Secure (ADAudit Plus) — real-time change auditing plus UBA/user-behaviour analytics to catch insider threats and compromised accounts, with instant alerts. Self-service & MFA (ADSelfService Plus) — self-service password reset and account unlock, MFA (Windows/VPN/apps), single sign-on, and password-policy enforcement — cutting helpdesk load and hardening access. Govern — M365/Exchange management plus access review and certification for light governance. So you manage identities, watch and secure every change, and give users self-service and MFA — all in one console, integrated — rather than three disconnected tools. Why it matters: covering management, security and self-service together means fewer tools, integrated workflows, and no gaps — provisioning that's audited, delegation that's tracked, access that's MFA-protected and self-served. For AD/M365-centric organisations, this integrated completeness (at AD360's price) is compelling. The value: AD360 covers the whole AD/M365 identity job — manage, secure (audit + UBA), self-service (SSPR + MFA + SSO) and light govern — in one integrated suite. For complete, joined-up identity, this matters. TechBag helps organisations run complete AD/M365 identity with AD360. TechBag helps you do identity properly, affordably.
Part of one IT-management ecosystem — and now AI (Zia)
A strength of AD360 is that it's part of ManageEngine's broad IT-management ecosystem — so identity integrates with endpoints, service, monitoring and security — and it's gaining agentic AI (Zia), keeping it modern. One ecosystem, integrated: AD360 isn't a standalone silo — it's part of ManageEngine's 60+ product portfolio, and connects natively with the flagships: Log360 (SIEM) — so AD audit data and identity threats feed the security operations picture. Endpoint Central (UEM) — so identity ties to device management. ServiceDesk Plus (ITSM) — so user and access requests flow through the service desk. PAM360 (privileged access) — so privileged identities are governed alongside standard ones. So identity, security, endpoints and service connect in one IT-management ecosystem — rather than disconnected point tools — which is powerful for IT teams standardising on ManageEngine. Now AI-powered (Zia): ManageEngine is rolling Zia — its agentic AI — across the suite, bringing AI to identity: anomaly insights on the audit/UBA side, assisted analysis, and increasingly autonomous agents. So identity gets AI-driven insight and assistance, keeping it modern. Why it matters: being part of one integrated IT-management ecosystem means identity connects to the rest of IT (security, endpoints, service) — more value than a standalone tool — and Zia AI keeps it current. For organisations wanting an integrated, affordable, AI-modern IT-management stack (not a patchwork), ManageEngine's ecosystem is a real draw. The value: AD360 is part of ManageEngine's integrated IT-management ecosystem (security, endpoints, service, PAM) and gaining Zia agentic AI — an integrated, modern, affordable stack. For connected, AI-modern identity, this matters. TechBag helps organisations build an integrated ManageEngine stack. TechBag helps you connect identity to the rest of IT.
From ManageEngine — an India-champion (Zoho), bootstrapped and trusted
AD360 comes from ManageEngine, the enterprise IT-management division of Zoho Corp — a bootstrapped, India-headquartered champion — which matters for trust, value, India relevance and data localisation, especially for sensitive identity data. The India champion: Zoho Corp (ManageEngine's parent) is bootstrapped — no VC funding, no IPO — headquartered in Chennai under founder Sridhar Vembu, a genuine 'made in India, made for the world' story. ManageEngine has been in IT management since 2002, and says its software powers 280,000+ organisations worldwide, including 9 of every 10 Fortune 100 companies. For an Indian buyer, choosing an India-HQ'd, financially independent (bootstrapped) vendor for identity is a real, values-aligned plus. India relevance and data localisation: India is ManageEngine's fast-growing #2 market (10,000+ Indian customers), with data centres in Chennai and Mumbai and full on-premises options — directly answering India's data-localisation, sovereignty and regulatory (RBI/BFSI, government) needs for identity data. This is a defensible India edge. Broad, affordable, on-prem-or-cloud: ManageEngine's whole philosophy — affordable, transparently-priced, on-prem-capable IT management — fits price-sensitive, regulated and sovereignty-minded Indian organisations especially well, and the AD tools' free editions lower the barrier further. Via TechBag (Bengaluru-based), Indian organisations get AD360 with local scoping, licensing and GST invoicing — an India-HQ'd product, locally supported. The value: AD360 — from ManageEngine, a bootstrapped India-champion (Zoho, Chennai), with India data centres, on-prem options and affordable pricing — is a trusted, India-relevant, data-localisation-ready choice for identity. TechBag supplies it with local scoping and support. TechBag provides India's own IT-management champion, locally supported.
The honest scope
ManageEngine AD360 is the integrated IAM suite of ManageEngine (Zoho's IT-management division) — one platform for Active Directory and Microsoft 365 identity: management (ADManager Plus), auditing and UBA (ADAudit Plus), self-service/MFA/SSO (ADSelfService Plus), and light access governance — available on-premises OR in the cloud, with Zia AI. From an India-champion (bootstrapped, Chennai). The honest framing — strengths, fit, and competition: AD360's strengths are its VALUE (integrated AD/M365 IAM at a fraction of enterprise-IGA cost, transparent pricing, free AD tools), the on-prem-OR-cloud choice (a real India/regulated edge for identity data), completeness across manage/secure/self-service, the ManageEngine ecosystem, and Zia AI. The competitive landscape — candidly: SailPoint and Saviynt are the enterprise IGA leaders — deep, automated provisioning across many applications, access-certification campaigns, segregation-of-duties (SoD), broad connectors and full identity governance — and for organisations that need that depth, they win; AD360 is NOT a full enterprise IGA platform and doesn't pretend to be. Quest wins for the deepest on-premises AD tooling — advanced AD migration, recovery and management for the most demanding directory estates. Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) is the native cloud identity for M365/Azure — for cloud-first identity, SSO and conditional access, Entra is the default. Okta is the cloud-first, vendor-neutral identity/SSO leader for app-heavy, cloud-centric organisations. So the honest positioning: for affordable, integrated AD/M365 management, auditing, self-service and MFA — especially for AD-centric, cost-conscious, regulated or Indian organisations wanting an on-prem option — AD360 leads on value; for full enterprise IGA, SailPoint/Saviynt; for deepest on-prem AD tooling, Quest; for cloud-native identity, Entra/Okta. AD360 is the AD/M365 value play, not a full IGA platform. TechBag scopes AD360 honestly — the right tools and editions, on-prem vs cloud, comparing vs SailPoint/Quest/Entra where those fit — and licenses and supports it with GST invoicing.

Quick poll — what’s driving your evaluation?
Talk to an advisor“We evaluated SailPoint and it was a massive, expensive IGA project we didn't need. AD360 gave us AD and M365 management, real-time auditing and self-service in one console — at a fraction of the cost, live in weeks. For AD-centric identity, the value is undeniable.”
“The on-premises option was decisive — as a regulated organisation we can't put identity data in a foreign cloud. AD360 runs in our own environment right next to AD, and ManageEngine has India data centres for the cloud parts. Data-localisation, solved.”
“ADSelfService Plus cut our biggest ticket category overnight — password resets now self-serve, and we added MFA to Windows and VPN logons. Helpdesk load down, security up. That alone paid for it.”
“ADAudit Plus gives us real-time change auditing and UBA — we see every AD change and get flagged on anomalies. Combined with management and self-service in one suite, it's the whole identity job in one place.”
“The free editions of the AD tools let us start at no cost and prove value before buying the full suite. Transparent per-domain and per-technician pricing, no quote games. For a cost-conscious team, that mattered.”
“Honest: for full enterprise IGA — broad app provisioning and certification campaigns — SailPoint goes deeper. But our identity is AD and M365, and AD360 was clearly the right, affordable call. TechBag gave that honest comparison.”
“Delegating helpdesk tasks safely — without handing out Domain Admin — with a full audit trail changed how we run AD. Least privilege for the helpdesk, finally.”
“As an Indian enterprise, choosing an India-HQ'd, bootstrapped vendor (Zoho/ManageEngine) for our identity tooling felt right — and TechBag handled scoping, licensing and GST. An India champion, locally supported.”
