ManageEngine ADManager Plus Access Certification

What ManageEngine ADManager Plus Access Certification is

ManageEngine ADManager Plus Access Certification is an on-premises governance add-on for organizations running the Professional Edition. It organizes access certification campaigns, identity risk assessment, risk exposure management, and a centralized view of entitlements. The add-on also includes delegated administration, Active Directory auditing, lifecycle automation, and reporting, connecting review work with directory oversight and account processes. Users reach it through web and Windows platforms, while deployment remains on premises. The listed Governance, Risk and Compliance add-on costs $495 a year for Professional Edition users who buy it under an annual license. ManageEngine offers a 30-day trial, but there is no free plan. The product is from ManageEngine, a company founded in 1996. Teams can use its certification and risk functions to review permissions, examine identity-related exposure, and maintain entitlement visibility. Administrative delegation, directory auditing, automated lifecycle handling, and reporting provide supporting controls around those activities. This combination suits organizations that need access governance within their existing Professional Edition deployment rather than a separate hosted service.
