Directory Manager is working great. I really can't thank you enough for a tool that addresses this function at a reasonable price and without being so complex that I can't convince people to use it. Nice work!

We were looking for a solution to our problem of our Active Directory contact information being out of date. Directory Update is very easy to use for clients to update their own contact information and photo and was very easy to install. We have used Directory Update since 2006 and found it to be excellent.

We were looking at Directory Update as a simple way to update our outdated Active Directory employee information. Then we discovered Directory Manager and Directory Search, further testing revealed we had to have all three! All the applications are remarkable and get the job done! Support is brilliant, patient, and very considerate.

Interdean Relocation Services
I have been trying for years to get our Global Address List up-to-date. With this software it is finally done.
We were looking for a way to have HR to update employee contact information directly without using Active Directory tools. The answer was Directory Manager which allowed us to configure and permissions according to our needs. Having HR update the Manager field directly means less tickets to the helpdesk and more efficiency.
