ARK for Active Directory vs Dovestones AD Reporting

ARK for Active Directory has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Dovestones AD Reporting automates Active Directory audits, scheduled reports, and account-management tasks on Windows. Its pre-built and custom reports cover users, passwords, computers, and groups, with detailed account status and ways to identify when users or computers were last used. It can also run one-off queries, such as finding computers that have not been used recently.

A built-in scheduler can run reports and bulk changes in the background. Available actions include moving, deleting, or disabling redundant accounts and removing users from sensitive groups. Reports can be emailed, printed, or exported, and the product supports command-line operation. The manual says installation requires no server components or agents and no changes to Active Directory, though installation adds a Windows service for scheduled jobs. Listed requirements are Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 and Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 or later. The product has a trial version, and support is listed by phone and email.
