Softerra Adaxes automates administration of Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, with unified management for Exchange and Microsoft 365. Condition-based rules can handle onboarding, mailbox creation, license assignment, home-folder setup, welcome emails, and offboarding. Administrators can manage users, groups, mailboxes, and Microsoft 365 licenses from a browser on any device, while users can reset passwords or unlock accounts through the web interface, login screens, or a corporate portal integration. Role-based controls delegate access across the managed systems, and approval steps can be added to operations. Adaxes includes more than 200 reports, along with custom reporting and scheduled delivery. Its REST API, SPML 2.0 support, and ADSI provider offer integration options. Operations are logged with user, time, and host details; logs can connect to centralized systems through Syslog. Multiple services can provide load balancing and automatic failover. A full-functionality 30-day evaluation is available for 0.00 USD per free. Perpetual licensing starts at $1,600.00 per once for up to 100 enabled, non-expired user accounts; annual maintenance and support is listed separately at $480.00.
