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

IAM are so helpful in driving your application and managing access, it becomes so easy to keep a track of users and their restrictions. what I love the most about IAM is:

1. You can give the expiry date to a user. This automates the procedure of deleting the user. and I think it's awesome.

2. The programmatic and secret based access is the amazing feature we get from AWS. and that makes AWS cli being used on wider level.

3. IAM customised policies are another big advantages of using IAM , You can give access to one service and still restrict to access other parameter of the same service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

IAM are so helpful and amazing but here are some things I dislike about it is.

1. While setting up a MFA for a programmatic access on AWS cli, the procedure is so tedious and is very unnecessarily complicated.

2. Moreover the MFA will expire in one day and we automate some things because of this using AWS cli. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM):

IAM is the best way possible for implementation os user roles and policies.

You need the restrictions? Use IAM

Need access from one service to other? use IAM

Need to setup AWS cli use IAM

It's the basics of your AWS account and your accessibility power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With IAM it's easier to manage users but the problem right now is,

1. I need to keep a track of their

.csv files. Which for me is like a boring job. I would want that to be more easier.

2. The MFA device if gets uninstalled by the user they need to disable the MFA and then reconfigure the MFA again. That I feel is a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like the level of control this gives me to my products in AWS. Giving me control to be as secure or open as I like. One of the best services out there and the fact you set it all up yourself means you know you are secure. Unlike other providers you just have to trust. they have great guides and support to help you and advice on the best configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Can be repetitive to setup for each product but worth it as you know it is done correctly. I would not change this as I think it work great and once you learn the first time it take no time at all to set up multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
