Beaverton, Oregon, USA
What it is
Softerra Adaxes automates administration across Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, with unified management for Exchange and Microsoft 365. Condition-based rules can handle onboarding and offboarding, mailbox creation, Microsoft 365 license assignment, home-folder setup, and welcome emails. Administrators can manage users, groups, mailboxes, and licenses in a browser, including from mobile phones. Users can reset passwords or unlock accounts through the web interface, Windows or macOS login screens, or a corporate portal integration. Role-based access controls and configurable approval steps support delegated operations; audit logs record who acted, when, and from which host. More than 200 reports are included, and users can create reports and schedule delivery. Adaxes also offers a REST API, SPML 2.0 support, and an ADSI provider. Multiple services can provide load balancing and automatic failover, and communications use encrypted channels. The full-function evaluation is free for 30 days. Perpetual licensing starts at $1,600, paid once for up to 100 enabled, non-expired user accounts, with annual maintenance and support listed at $480.00.
