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.

A stable and flexible solution with some basic capabilities

I set up Red Hat Single Sign-On in half an hour. I had to install a single sign-on solution for a customer. I reviewed a list of all available products, which were no more than fifty, and analyzed them. I chose it because it was convincing, modern, and based on technology from 2015. I put my trust in this product, and after nine years, I feel confident in my decision. Deploying this solution usually takes half an hour. You need an operating system running, then deploy the packages and prepare the interfaces. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The organizational value of AWS IAM Identity Center is definitely significant, as it helps ensure that the least required permissions are given to users, thus preventing unnecessary access and reducing the risk of accidental deletions or changes."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the security configuration ease, which is great for me, especially as a beginner."

"The most valuable feature of AWS Identity Center is its ability to centrally create permission templates, known as permission sets, which define AWS IAM roles."

"The solution enhances security through features like multifactor authentication."

"IAM Identity Center provides micro-level control over resources, services, and users, allowing organizations to grant specific access and privileges safely."

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

More AWS IAM Identity Center pros

"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to assign only one password for the user at a false value."

"The solution is flexible and has the same basic capabilities right out of the box. The most important feature of this product is that it is a Red double-sided product. One side is a well-known open-source project; the other is a Red Hat commercial product. The commercial product benefits from all the experience and contributions of the community, making it a very well-developed product."

"Red Hat SSO has a lot of very concise, well laid out documentation, which is available in the free edition as well."

"Good support for single sign-on protocols."

"It is very easy to scale and use as you want."

"Red Hat SSO integrates well with our other solutions. Using OIDC protocols and ITL integration, employees can authenticate with Red Hat SSO and access our microservices."

Cons

"Integrating AWS IAM Identity Center with other applications sometimes presents challenges."

"The configuration with other tools can be hard."

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

"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."

"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."

"IAM is challenging to manage in complex environments."

"Focusing on further allowing customization and flexibility in developing solutions as a solution architect or developer would enhance user experience."

More AWS IAM Identity Center cons

"They could provide more checks and balances to find out if there have been any security lapses, e.g., if somebody is trying to break into the system. Some other products have these detection mechanisms in case someone is trying to hack into the system or find out a user's passwords."

"Red Hat SSO's architecture could be updated."

"The product’s technical support services could be better."

"Security could be improved."

"Red Hat publishes much more and communicates its actions and plans. They could provide words, maps, and other resources."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Red Hat Single Sign On is expensive."

"The license is around $8000 USD."

"It is a low cost product. This product can be used by non-profit organizations or universities, when they don't want to invest a lot of money."

"If you want support, that is when you use the paid version. There are different support categories that you can pay for, which provide different support levels. E.g., there is a quick response if you pay a higher amount, where the response time is within a few hours."
