Forefront Identity Manager Review
Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Forefront with multiple entities. Many of our employees work across multiple internal entities and this allows us to control who and where.
Pros
- The biggest hurdle is that it integrates with Active Directory
- This simplifies my life since I don't have disparate locations for the same identity
- Our SSRS users now have a single location for access and role-based views, this is a huge positive for them.
Cons
- Cloud integration needs some love. I think most companies nowadays have a hybrid model with some in-house and some cloud. A complete integration would be a huge win.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think that MIM is great for compliance since it reduces the number of logins that are required by users. Most offices have post-it notes with logins floating around because there are so many to remember or there are "shared" logins. This reduces the number of logins to 1 and you can easily revoke access in one fell swoop. This prevents gaps and holes with terminations and updates to select groups are super simple.
