Pros and cons of Active Directory Assist app for iPhone and iPad

Active Directory Assist app good for

Great app for quick AD access! We change passwords frequently and users lock themselves out all the time. It is so much easier than having to remote in to your desktop or servers. Plus, I can disable terminated employees on the fly.
Love this tool, it saves me a ton of time being able to address AD issues on the spot instead of going back to my desk to do it. Would love to have Touch ID added.
This app helps me out so much without having to login to a server from my computer.
Éveryone needs this tools on ms systems Just on thing : do not list automatically the users or group Any update for that ? Also , coule you save more than profile when you manage lots of servers Thanks
Very usefull for IT-Experts. Easy unlocking Users. I use a VPN Connection with my iPhone and connect with that App Here to our Server! Great
As long as you know what you looking for this app is useful. unfortunately there is no overview of users or computers.

Some bad moments

App does not work with OpenLDAP Severs in iOS 5.1.1 Always crashs at login...
In the time it takes for this app to authenticate and reset a password, I can walk to the other end of my facilities, grab my computer, walk back, connect with ARD, reset the password, logout and walk back. I have tried it. I does do what is advertised though. Just slower than you can image.
I am helpdesk admin and works 24/7. Today I was in a doctors waiting room ,when I received a call from user to unlock her account. As always it was super urgent. Fortunately I had read about an AD app just a few days ago. Found this app on the app store, and in minutes I got access to my AD. Unlocking the account was a breeze. Typed in her partial name and I was right there. It showed that Account was locked. Tapped on the Action menu - Unlock Account. Done. Made my Day!!!!! Speed was awesome. I am impressed, but mind you, the user was more impressed, and a bit shocked and confused too. Then I started looking onto other features, and just loved the report, real icing on the cake. Unlocked account report showed couple of more accounts locked out. Unlocked them immediately. A great tool and a must for IT ToolBox. Now I can relax in the doctors office due to this absolute Godsend app. Well made and recommended.
Awesome: I used first app to manage AD. The features are very simple worked. After using couple of days I can say that this look to be solid tools. I see the ability to add/ delete users.
I must say it is one of the best apps for AD .User friendly . Compared to some other apps the hitch cost a lot this is far better and gets the job done .
Its simple and it works. As long as I am connected I can deal with basic issues right when they bug me in the middle of my lunch :)
