How we are different

1. Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR) is the only 100% fully-automated AD Disaster Recovery solution and can recover an entire forest in any disaster scenario. In a competitive comparison, competitive products couldn't perform a complete restore in a scenario where the entire forest had been wiped out and there were no DCs from the original forest. ADFR can successfully restore from “nothing” using machines with Semperis agents installed, the same IP address as the original DCs and an OS patched similarly to the original DC.

2. Competitive auditors track changes while Active Directory State Manager (ADSM) uses “state comparison” methodology, plus change-tracking, to ensure data integrity and capture all events in AD. ADSM uses the native replication mechanism the DCs use to poll changes made to AD from the last audited state. This information is correlated with security events collected on each DC to match the change in AD state to the change recorded from the server security log data.

3. Each solution within the platform offers unique business and technical advantages:
- ADFR is a fully-automated, non-intrusive solution which requires zero manual maintenance and enables organizations to minimize downtime and lost revenue. Using ADFR, recovering an entire AD forest is as simple as three mouse clicks.
- ADSM helps organizations maintain compliance and detect suspicious activ ity through real-time insight into changes and events that happen in AD. ADSM allows for granular recovery of objects and attributes and also features point-in-time recovery, so organizations can quickly revert AD to a previous state when necessary (for example if you need to undo a mass security group change that has wreaked havoc on your applications).
