Self-service password reset software for Active Directory and cloud applications

Password reset tickets: the bane of both IT teams and end users. When the number of password reset tickets increases, IT teams often push more critical issues down the queue, so that users don't have to put their work on hold for too long while their passwords are reset. When left unchecked, password reset tickets can become expensive; since close to 30 percent of all help desk tickets are caused by forgotten passwords, it's unsurprising that several large businesses have spent over $1 million trying to resolve password-related help desk calls.

ADSelfService Plus offers self-service password management as a solution for password reset tickets. Simply put, whether it's a forgotten Office 365 or Active Directory (AD) password, ADSelfService Plus enables users to reset their passwords on their own, without IT assistance.
