## Reviews

### "It just works" — 5.0/5

> **Kane** | *22 October 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Really impressed with how easy the platform is to use and deploy. It’s straightforward for users to get started without needing much technical support. The customer service team has been quick to respond to any issues, and they genuinely listen to feedback to help improve the experience
> 
> **Cons**: There is currently nothing I don't like with Admin by request, as it does what it says on the tin and just works

-----

### "Perfect way to give limited admin access to remote users" — 5.0/5

> **James** | *11 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to allow remote users with limited connectivity the ability to install/customize software without direct remote admin support.
> 
> **Cons**: On rare occasions, it doesn't work as expected and I must uninstall it, log in as admin, install software, then reinstall AdminByRequest. VERY rare...1% of the time.
> 
> It has allowed me to grant users the ability to have an extra layer of security when performing admin functions on a laptop, without having them log in as local administrators.

-----

### "AbR honest review and feedback" — 3.0/5

> **Wil** | *14 July 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Intuitive interface and straightforward deployment. Pricing is reasonable. End users and IT teams alike appreciate the non-disruptive nature of the solution.
> 
> **Cons**: Slow response times for privilege elevation requests or automated workflows are a frequent point of criticism due to lack of automation and off line keys do not work bricking the machine.
> 
> Overall, Admin By Request is most appreciated for its user-friendly approach to privileged access management, robust security features, and cost-effective, flexible deployment that supports both IT efficiency and end-user productivity. It needs further refinement and added features.

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Andrew** | *1 January 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and add new apps into the dashboard. Giving users admin rights has been very easy. Apple watch and mobile app have been great.
> 
> **Cons**: Little hard at first to setup but support was very helpful once going. After that it's very easy to use
> 
> 10/10, I would recommend this to anyone that needs to provide admin rights to users when needed and whitelist apps.

### "Excellent tool for controlling admin rights" — 5.0/5

> **Morten** | *12 September 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My company has used Admin By Request for several years and it works perfectly. Using this tool we can in a simple and easy way control our users admin access to Windows devices. Another great feature is the audit log of device changes. Furthermore, we can group our users - e.g. our developers can run specific programs pre-approved. &#10;We also use ABR on our Windows servers which is great for auditing. &#10;The license price is very fair. &#10;The communication with the ABR team has been very pleasant.
> 
> **Cons**: No real problems. The helpdesk could be a bit faster. Adding extra licenses could be easier and more smooth.
> 
> Overal my experience with ABR has been great and I can highly recommend it. The initial setup worked like a charm.
