ADreporter vs One Identity Active Roles

ADreporter is an on-premises Windows tool for reporting on Active Directory and related Microsoft data. It gathers information from Active Directory, Office 365, Exchange, WMI, and Remote Registry. Its library includes hundreds of built-in reports and access to more than a thousand attributes for Active Directory and Office 365 objects. For synchronized Office 365 objects, it can show directory attributes alongside cloud attributes. Administrators can create custom reports without scripting, filter results, schedule runs, and export to CSV, HTML, PDF, or Excel. Licences are annual, priced per administrator with concurrent use. Prices vary by administrator tier, from $15 a year for 500 or more administrators to $275 a year for 1–2 administrators; the maker says there is no limit on administrator identities or managed objects. A fully functional 15-day evaluation is available after completing a form to receive the download link. Support is available weekdays, 8am–5pm EST, by phone or help request.

One Identity Active Roles is a paid administration and governance product for Microsoft Active Directory, Entra ID, and Microsoft 365. A unified console brings those environments into one interface, while workflow automation helps implement and enforce consistent policies. Lifecycle management uses automation and scripting to support least-privilege accounts. Role-based access control enables fine-grained delegation across Active Directory domains and Entra ID and Microsoft 365 tenants. Change history and activity tracking support audits and remediation. Listed integrations include One Identity Manager, Safeguard Authentication Services, Defender, Change Auditor, GPO Admin, Password Manager, and Starling Connect. Supported platforms are web, iOS, Android, and self-hosted virtual or physical appliances; the installation guide describes on-premises requirements. A license must be purchased for legal use, and the fee depends on the number of managed users. Pricing is on request. There is no free plan, but the product page offers a free trial and a virtual trial. Listed capabilities include delegated administration, AD auditing, lifecycle automation, and reporting; password self-service is not included.
