Tim- Sadly in our business I think you'd have a hard time finding someting akin to a decent, educated and un-biased review of this stuff. No Consumer Reports for software. What I would always recommend is to gather your requirements clearly and evaluate all players against those requirements and their costs.

It's solves the AD object recovery problem nicely.

Good stuff. To be fair though, most of the major AD players have these tools now. The thing about the Quest (Aelita) tool was its use of their own APIs to address issues like Domain Local Groups etc. I haven't kept up with the latest versions so I am not sure what direction they have gone since 2003.
