Helped our organization by providing a unified dashboard to manage permissions and access controls

The most valuable feature of AWS IAM Identity Center is the ability to provide a structured approach to access management through a single dashboard. This single-pane management allows users to manage access control and permissions centrally. It provides the least privilege-based access control, which limits users to only the operations they need to perform without interfering with unrelated configurations.

Information Technology Manager at a engineering company with 10,001+ employees

Offers robustness and ease of use

The product improves our organization's daily healthcare tasks since the use of the tool reduces a lot of support calls, and its users remember many passports that keep on changing. Writing down the passwords somewhere would compromise the security of the system. In our company, the product streamlines access to critical applications and makes it more secure. The management of the system becomes easy with the product. With the product, you can also decide on the strength of the policy you need for your environment. It also helps in the area of authentication credentials. With the product in place, users need to remember fewer passwords, which makes an organization's environment much more secure. The product has improved productivity in the sense that users are now able to manage the tool on their own without having to wait for IT support. IT teams also have to handle fewer support calls and can focus on more value addition in other areas. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that it is always better to use the product's SSO capabilities since it provides security. With SSO capabilities, if you can use multi-factor authentication, you can add a second layer of security to make your system safer and free from attacks. The product's integration capabilities with existing healthcare infrastructure are good. The secure access provided by the product has helped all the applications in our company where security is required. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The features of AWS IAM Identity Center that I appreciate are single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, and we can manage all authentication aspects while integrating it with third-party applications."

"The most valuable feature of AWS IAM Identity Center is the ability to provide a structured approach to access management through a single dashboard."

"The solution helps us manage access in a time-efficient manner and offers reliable integration for our services, avoiding security breaches and maintaining operational efficiency."

"AWS IAM Identity Center offers a secure and centralized way to manage access and permissions."

"Its valuable features include granular access control, allowing precise control over who can access specific AWS resources and under what conditions using JSON-based policies."

"The two most valuable features of IAM Identity Center are the security policy generation and automation in creating credentials."

"I highly recommend AWS IAM Identity Center to new users, especially for storage and deployment services like EC2, which are cost-efficient and scalable."

"AWS IAM Identity Center has helped our organization by providing a unified dashboard to manage permissions and access controls."

More AWS IAM Identity Center pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and its robustness."

"Security is the best feature of Microsoft Azure Sentinel. It has its own base security. Our customers like that the security is available in Azure."

Cons

"I have opened support tickets and received responses, although not always resolving my queries fully. I would appreciate a live chat option with technical support for quicker resolutions."

"I would like to see more flexibility in the features as sometimes it doesn't meet my expectations."

"There is a desire to see integration or adoption of time-based user creation features within AWS IAM Identity Center."

"IAM is challenging to manage in complex environments."

"Greater visualization for security policies would be beneficial."

"The configuration with other tools can be hard."

"The initial setup isn't very easy, around four on a scale of one to ten. It permits setting up policies that might not be entirely secure if improperly configured, which can lead to issues later."

"In the product, two groups cannot have the same name...In general, the tool does not allow for the duplication of names."

More AWS IAM Identity Center cons

"We had some feedback from customers who have said it was a confusing product. The product is confusing to use for the end-user. For example, they do not know how to migrate the Azure Sentinel, but others have liked the product that has started working on it."

"The shortcomings in the stability need improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap since it is available on the cloud."

"Users need to pay either annually or on a multi-year basis towards the licensing costs of the product."
