"The most valuable feature is that because it's all in the cloud, you don't need to manage the infrastructure."
"We like the fact that it's got such great redundancy."
"AWS Directory Service is secure."
"For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."

"Can be improved by including on-premises access for services through Identity Access Management."
"Our only complaint is that you cannot integrate your Exchange server. Or, if you are planning to install an Exchange server on your Amazon EC2 instance, then you need to configure Active Directory on EC2 instance. We would like for this limitation to be lifted."

"The group policy can be improved."
"I would like to grant partial access to a table contained in a database without having to provide full access to the whole database."

"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
