What is our primary use case?
I used AWS Identity and Access Management for creating, modifying, and deleting users and integrating with one or more other directories. It is used to synchronize with other directories and create new identities for users who need specialized access to organizational tools.
Additionally, while creating users, we provide specific permissions.
What is most valuable?
AWS Identity and Access Management allows for creating, modifying, and deleting users or integrating with directories. Identity management can create new identities for users needing access to organizational tools. Specific permissions can be given to users, allowing tailored access to instances and S3 buckets. The use of MFA provides added security for user logins.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see scalability improvements in AWS Identity and Access Management, such as better integration with existing systems and applications. It would also be helpful to enhance features like Role-Based Access Control, auto-scaling, and the ability to handle higher user demands better.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have two years of experience working with AWS Identity and Access Management.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
During normal user operations, some instability issues were encountered due to random PC problems. AWS Identity and Access Management is designed to keep networks secure by ensuring only authorized users can access necessary data.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability improvements are needed, especially concerning auto-scaling and handling user demands. The system's scalability could be enhanced to support larger organizations and better integrate with existing applications.
How are customer service and support?
I have not had the opportunity to deal with AWS technical support directly. However, if there are issues, my responsibilities include acknowledging them and reviewing the nature of the problems.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
In my organization, everything was stable with AWS, and I have not had the opportunity to work with other identity and access management solutions.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I do not know about the pricing or licensing cost of AWS Identity and Access Management. Cost depends on customer requirements, such as instance type and memory usage.
What other advice do I have?
From my experience, AWS Identity and Access Management is a strong solution. It manages users and roles efficiently and provides necessary access permissions. I recommend it to those looking for an identity management solution, as it involves human users accessing workloads with temporary credentials.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
