What do you like best about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

Customised policies and RBAC model. Role based authentication is more secure way to authenticate. STS for AWS cli using role based access is best feature and can be integrated with SSO and MFA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

AWS roles are much complicated for EKS, ECS service and elastic beanstalk service and few services. We can't have much control on the permissions and privileges to customise as per organisations requirement . We need to use AWS managed roles as mandatory. This needs to be improve in terms of roles and policies for mentioned services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IAM allows us to mange multiple teams by isolating and segregating the permissions by RBAC and ABAC model. This will allow teams to access to only their application resources based on tagging (principal Tag). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

In cloud environment where security is one of the major concern and need today aws iam is like a blessing where you can provide access to a user as per the needs i.e. provide access only on those services which are needed instead of providing generalised access.

The best part is you can provide policy based access to the user by adding specific policies to the role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

The only drawback I fell in aws IAM is that a user cannot add more than 10 policies to a role i.e a role cannot have more than 10 permissions. I believe this should be improved because there are use cases where a role may have more than 10 policies attached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Problem IAM solving:- The basic problem iam is solving is of security by providing a user or role access only on the needful services instead of on all services.

Consider an example where a user need access only on Lambda service using IAM we can restrict the user to have access only on Lambda service instead of providing access on all services.

IAM is benefiting me by adding one more layer of security to my cloud aws account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

At any point in time, users will need different levels of access to the AWS services, and as an admin, you have to ensure that you only give access privileges to the users that require them. For me , I find AWS Identity and Access Management service to be very useful in assigning different rights to different users.

It is much simpler to assign roles and privileges in AWS Identity and Access Management service than other solutions that will need deep-coding skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)?

Well, you need to have first-hand information and a good background of experience in AWS Identity and Access Management environment before you can start using it. So, you should seek knowledge first before opting for this solution because hiring someone else to do the work for you will cost you a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I basically use AWS Identity and Access Management service in Amazon Web Services platform to assign roles and privileges to users and ensure that my system is secure. it allows me to create user groups with ease, which simplifies my work in assigning privileges.

IAM helps us to grant role-based access to out AWS resources, also apart from this we can also configure openID such as Salesforce. It helps us to know who is going to use what sort of aws resources with defined policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
