Enables us to create a user in the cloud and give them access to resources through a single workflow
The PAM for Active Directory is good. ActiveOps is quite useful as a feature. The One Identity active role enables us to create a user in the cloud and give them access to resources through a single workflow. We can create rules-based access. It helps us control audit management and IT access management. We can decide what people can access and detect job functions. It enables zero trust security with hybrid AD, find delegation, and role-based access control. It provides all certificates and provides secure authentication, call-based access control, et cetera. It's really important for my critical applications. We can see who's using what, whether they are authorized, and other information to decide what access to offer. With the active role console, I can find out the obvious issues and also perform a decent setup. The One Identity active roles enable us to reduce password reset times. We can handle tasks in a matter of a minute. It simplifies AD and Azure AD management, efficiency, and security overall. The password manager is very secure and is a self-service password manager solution. It is considerably decreasing my help desk tasks. Our engineering users can reset forgotten passwords, and it can implement a stronger password. The management around access to enterprise resources keeps my data and systems secure. We're easily saving at least one hour per day using this solution. The migration from AD to Azure AD is very easy. There are simple configurations, and the migration goes rather smoothly. We use the solution support for SaaS apps through Cloud Delivered SCIM connectors. There are controls that can be configured and we can add and set permissions easily.

Offers real-time threat detection by continuously analyzing incoming logs and correlations
The Splunk Cloud Platform has improved our observability. We can see a lot more information both good and bad, but at least we have the information. It is important that Splunk Cloud Platform has visibility into our cloud-native environments. It comes to observability. And with the visibility, we're able to link, especially with our cloud environment, with Azure the correlations for threat reporting, correlations for account breaches, and correlations for compromised data ex-filtration that's going in and out. Splunk Cloud Platform has improved our mean time to resolution. It stepped down our investigation times. An investigation that used to take ten minutes is now down to five or six minutes per incident. It offers real-time threat detection by continuously analyzing incoming logs and correlations. These trigger pre-defined alerts, and any suspicious activity will be reported within five or six minutes. Splunk Cloud has saved costs through time savings. I can focus that time on other tasks improving productivity. We saw time to value within the first month of implementing the Splunk Cloud Platform. Splunk Unified Platform helps consolidate networking, security, and IT observability tools. We're primarily focusing on the security area and building out the correlations. We haven't moved to the infrastructure side yet. That is something we have on our company roadmap.
