Pros

• Easy to Setup Good Functionality Great Customer Support Lots of OS compatibilities Console interface is easy to use and works as intended.
• Admin By Request is generally very easy to navigate, making day-to-day administration straightforward. The mobile app is excellent, and it's simple to configure application filters and tie approval workflows to applications like Microsoft Teams, which makes approving requests while away from your desk quick and convenient.
• Breadth of functionality - this app was clearly made by folks who have encountered the struggles with admin access in a real world enterprise setting, and it shows. The ease of setup and configuration are common-sense. It's incredibly configurable!
• Admin By Request allowed us to finally solve the problem of local admin access on our campus without the need to expand our team to support the influx of requests.
• I appreciate the customer service and the product. The application is very easy to use and has done the job well.
• Avoids unnecessary support tickets for standard UAC elevation. Automate normal tasks, and allow full admin sessions when necessary. No more heartburn over the unknown number of domain machines with local admin rights.
• Easy to audit Small learning curve for users Works reliably across Windows and macOS The ability to pre-approve a Vendor is very helpful
• It gives us a view into who is elevating and when. The sub-settings allow us to set a different set of rules based on the user role.
• Users being able to request administrative elevation remotely when a game patch or new content pack needs installed has helped us immensely with weekend matches when on-site staff support is unavailable. Whitelisting anti cheat software and other crucial game services that are required to run has been a huge help. The inventory management aspects of ABR have been great, and I'm just starting to scratch the surface with their Remote Access tools. Great product, great support.
• Easy install (via Intune). Just works; have never had an issue with it. It is the perfect solution to stop allowing your users to be a Local Admin all day, every day. They only get Admin when the NEED it. It's good balance of security and being able to do your job.
