The overall "bang for the buck" is a really good deal. I plan to continue as a customer for the long haul.
Pros
With most software, if there is a feature I need or I need something changed to work better in our environment, I must submit a feature request and then hope it will be addressed, someday. However, anytime I need to do something that DSRAZOR doesn't quite do by default, I just submit a support request. Within a few hours, a freshly modified applet appears in my email, customized to our needs. Even though I have been a customer for years, I continue to be blown away by this amazing service.
Cons
The design tool is rather clunky. However, since DSRAZOR tech support will modify any applet to my specifications, this isn't a huge deal.
I really wish the applets could be run off a web server. It is a bit cumbersome to have to distribute executable files to our users.

Overall, we are very pleased with the product. It is easy to use and a great benefit in generating reports that are required for auditing purposes. The flexibility to create new reports with those fields we need and want allowed us to setup routine reports to meet our needs.
Pros
All the builtin reports that allow customization. This saves time rather than having to create them from scratch.
Cons
Lack of training, but once we understood how it worked, it's easy to use.

As a Florida domestic P&C provider we have an obligation to our insureds, partners & team members to ensure the confidentiality & integrity of our data. DSRAZOR & CPTRAX help us to achieve that goal by use of comprehensive logging and alerting measures that can record even an ATTEMPT to access or make unauthorized changes.
Pros
The amount of data captured; every aspect of a change, delete or create to any file, folder, GPO or ADUC Object can be recorded.
Cons
The setup could be easier on the end-user. The learning curve isn't too bad, but requires some investment.

Our school district, Carthage Central School District, has been a customer of Visual Click for many years! We originally started out using DSRAZOR for Novell and then moved to DSRAZOR for Microsoft about nine years ago. We are very pleased with the Microsoft helpdesk applet that was built for us. The applet keeps all Active Directory user maintenance in one place for our Helpdesk staff member.
The Visual Click's support team is outstanding! When I request a change in our applet, I receive an updated applet usually with in hours. We are never left waiting for a response and are the support staff are eager make sure the applet is working correctly for our district. I would recommend Visual Click to any school district!
Pros
-Active Directory user management in one place for our Helpdesk staff member
-Active Directory Applet easy to use
-Student Import Applet easy to use and saves us so much time!
-Applet can be modified quickly by support team
-Great Support Team!

DSRazor has been an excellent tool for us. One example: When a user changes their name, Microsoft's interface was lacking in the process. I had Visual Click create a DSRazor Applet that for me that after I renamed an email address and updated the first/last names in ADUC, it would update the user's samAccountName, update the user's profile path and rename the profile folder on the network share to match their samAccountName. Without this, the profile path and folder would retain the user's previous user name.
Pros
The customer support is excellent. I have had made some difficult requests to support regarding the needs of organization has in order to make my life easier to manage Active Directory. Visual Click always finds a way to help me get my task completed with DSRazor.
Cons
The user interface is very basic and simple which may be a turn off to some users who would prefer a more pleasing look to their GUI.

This product has a lot of report options that come in handy for day to day review of polices within the domain. We use them often to validate group membership, account and more

We have been using this for years for both Help Desk functions as well as Reporting purposes. It is inexpensive yet highly scalable and customizable for our environment.
Pros
- Works in environment right "out of the box"
- Highly customizable - applets can be tailored and new applets written
- Fast and responsive customer service
Cons
While customization of applets on your own is possible, it requires a great deal of knowledge. It would be nice if there was a modular interface that you could apply to all applets automatically such as start all browsing in "Domain X, Organizational Unit Y".

I would recommend this application to any busy IT administrator, especially those that go through audits and exams for regulatory purposes. There is support is VERY responsive and super quick to help. If you need a report to do x-y-z and it is not in their canned reports, all it takes is an email to their support and they send you the report back pronto. How great is that! I highly recommend this application.
Pros
The software has many features that will allow an IT administrator to pull data from their Active Directory and place into a specified report. The software is easy to install and it has sure saved me a ton of time when needing sorted data fast. Our auditors love this application as we can pull data automatically and not have to rely on human intervention. The cost is really reasonable as well.
Cons
Creating specific reports can be a little confusing.

This software is great, because it allows us to know where our data goes and why. If a user deletes a file, or if a file goes missing, we have the ability to do some forensics to find out exactly what happened.
