AdminDroid Pricing Changes

We are revising our pricing to more accurately reflect the value users get from the tool.

Why are we updating the pricing plans?

  • Our existing pricing was entirely based on the number of administrators configured to access the product, but most of the organization doesn’t have the requirement of delegating access to other people in the organization.
  • We were getting a lot of feature requests which were falling under the free category. So we had difficulty in putting more development force on the free functionalities as our roadmap features like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based alerting requires more focus.

Our goal is to continue improving AdminDroid, making it even more valuable tool for administrators. To align with our goal we need more workforce dedicatedly working on the much-needed functionalities and also on our unique functionalities.

We are a bootstrapped startup, there are no investors behind it. Our new pricing model will open up new doors to get the revenue and it will help us to reach our goal faster.

We assure you , Always AdminDroid will be a great product with a fair price.

New Pricing Model:

We have reduced the pricing of Admin-Packs by more than 50% and introduced two new packs namely Report-Pack and Audit-Pack.

  • Report-Pack will let you access the advanced Office 365 reports and dashboards.
  • Audit-Pack will let you access the auditing reports, usage & adoption metrics and dashboards.

The Audit-Pack and Report-Pack will be priced based on the number of licensed users in your O365 tenant. You can purchase the packs as per your requirement.

Free Benefits:

All of the Azure AD reporting and auditing functionalities(Users, Licenses, Groups, Group Members, Login Activities, etc,) will come with the free edition.

The free edition allows access to 100+ reports and 4 dashboards.

Manage Your Office 365 Reporting Securely with AdminDroid

We know that every Office 365 admin has concerns towards the security and confidentiality of their reporting data before using any reporting product. Data security is our primary focus while building AdminDroid Office 365 Reporting tool. One of the most important aspects of the tool is, it won’t store your o365 data in the cloud or ask your administrator’s password, unlike other reporting applications.

Your Data is in your control

This product can be installed in your on-premise client /server machine. So it ensures that all of the reporting and analytics information about your Office 365 tenant is stored in the installation machine which is in your control.

No need to provide admin password

We will never ask your admin account password to collect the reporting data. As the product is built using Azure AD consent framework, with a few mouse clicks, you can grant the requested permission to the AdminDroid application on your Office 365 tenant.

Office 365 single sign-on

We threw away the classic login page and secured the application with the Office 365 single sign on. You can just log in with your configured Office 365 account to access this application.

No need of PowerShell

We use  Azure Graph API and Office 365 Reporting web service to fetch the reporting data through encrypted connection. So you don’t need to worry about any PowerShell dependency or tweaking your PowerShell execution policy.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step

Well, we are trying to figure out when we took that single step 🙂

Well, once we wrote a script for a friend of ours, who’s an IT admin. It solved his problem for which he treated us with a sumptuous meal at an expensive restaurant as an expression of gratitude!

That’s when we first found this thrill – the thrill of solving an IT admin’s challenges (and of course, going home with a full tummy 😉 Thus began our journey…

Nah!!! We’re just kidding!

We are AdminDroid, a company by erstwhile IT administrators, who are now IT solution makers.
Now, we are engaged in solving IT administrator’s problems. Our goal is to provide economic, quality IT solutions to IT administrators for complex problems, while providing as much as free tools whenever possible for issues that do not warrant complex IT tools.

We’ve been IT administrators in our lives. We have been in the trenches. So, we know EXACTLY what an IT administrator wants. Take a look at our flagship product – AdminDroid Office 365 Reporter – to understand how well we can cater info that IT staff look for.

We are beginning our journey with this FREE tool.

NOTE: Hey, that part of a satisfied IT admin thanking us with a meal is true though 🙂 but we always had this idea of starting an IT company of our own while we scouted for IT solutions for our own problems 🙂
