    Centrify is a great solution for anyone looking to start using Office 365. It is also a great solution for anyone wanting to provide their users with an SSO solution using OAUTH, Federation, or SAML for any hosted service. If you are looking to use Centrify for MDM but you aren't using a hosted/hybrid email solution such as Office 365, there are better on-premise options that should be explored.

    Cons
    Amazon AWS
    • Make it easier for users to assume roles securely, especially in cross-account settings. This might involve simplifying the process of switching roles in the management console or creating a command for AWS CLI that supports smoother role assumption.
    • Policy testing tools will be invaluable for administrators when they are creating policies. If this tool is able to assess the impact of enforcing a policy it will help greatly in preventing policy misconfigurations that lead to unintended consequences.
    • Better user interface, AWS should simplify the IAM interface to encourage new users.

    • Occasionally, I get logged out of Gmail, sometimes in the middle of an email. I'm not sure why it happens, but I think it has something to do with timing out. Which is strange because I'm on email all day. Not sure why.

    The support staff thus far has been very helpful. At times I feel they are driving the process forward without my intervention or constant reminder, which is nice to have in a company for a change. Most support seems to be a hassle but so far Centrify appears to treat your project as their own project.

    AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) excels over Google Cloud IAM with its granular control, extensive service integration, and robust security features. AWS IAM provides fine-tuned access policies, versatile role delegation, and a wide array of services. Its adaptability and extensive toolset make it the preferred choice for businesses of all sizes.

    Centrify offered us more for our money by being more than just an SSO platform. There were several other features included such as MDM and MFA. This started other initiatives for us and felt the other solutions we evaluated would not have been able to provide.

    Return on Investment
    Amazon AWS
    • AWS IAM Identity Center has significantly bolstered our security posture by ensuring that only authorized personnel access our resources. This enhanced security has protected us from potential data breaches or unauthorized use of resources, mitigating risks and potential costs associated with security incidents.
    • While IAM brings long-term cost savings, there might be initial implementation and training costs. It's important to factor these costs into the ROI equation.
    • If your organization isn't used to such fine-grained access control, there might be resistance to adopting IAM. Overcoming this resistance might require additional training costs.
