Centralized access control has improved team collaboration but still needs a simpler onboarding
One of the best features AWS IAM Identity Center offers is the permission set, which is one of the best. Then there are the temporary credentials via SSO, the multi-account governance, and the centralized identity management. Those are good features that I believe assist developers, and another feature I can say is one of the best is the improved security with temporary credentials. The feature I find myself relying on the most day-to-day would be the centralized identity management and multi-account governance. It allows me to check what other developers are doing and since I am the admin, I can also revoke the access they have to the AWS accounts.

Single sign-on has saved engineering hours but still needs broader security features
I would rate BoxyHQ Enterprise SSO overall a seven out of ten. I chose seven out of ten because it does the job and that is sufficient. If you need more, then it cannot provide that, but it can be improved. Regarding BoxyHQ Enterprise SSO's AI capabilities, I think it does not have any AI and governance security features. The advice I would give to others looking into using BoxyHQ Enterprise SSO is that if you need something basic that does the job and you do not need advanced features, and all you need is single sign-on, then it is for you. My overall review rating for BoxyHQ Enterprise SSO is seven out of ten.
