AWS Single Sign-On Reviews & Product Details

IAM: AWS IAM provides fine-grained control over user permissions and supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of security.

Monitoring and threat detection are one of the best. I used services like Amazon GuardDuty and AWS Security Hub in our organization quite often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrating certain third-party security tools may pose challenges due to compatibility issues or the need for additional configuration.

Comprehensive security suite: AWS offers a vast array of security tools and services, covering everything from access management to data encryption and threat detection. This one-stop shop simplifies security implementation and reduces the need for third-party solutions.

Granular control: AWS allows you to fine-tune security settings based on your specific needs and risk tolerance. This level of customization empowers organizations to build a security posture that aligns with their unique environment.

Compliance-focused: AWS provides built-in features and pre-configured compliance frameworks that help organizations meet industry regulations and internal policies. This can significantly streamline compliance audits and reporting processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complexity: The sheer breadth of AWS security offerings can be overwhelming for new users. Navigating the different services and understanding their interactions can be a steep learning curve, even for experienced IT professionals.

Pricing: While AWS offers a free tier for some services, many essential security features come at a cost. The pricing structure can be complex, making it difficult to accurately estimate and budget for security expenses.

Limited visibility: While AWS provides tools for monitoring and analyzing security events, the default dashboards can lack depth and customization options. For organizations with complex security needs, building comprehensive security reports may require additional tools or expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is ease to use , I use EC2 instances which is so easy to use. I always use this when I am building my android studio applications.

Its security is also very good and easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has some extra documentary and for new users setup is somewhat little bit challenging.

Other than this , it is a best SSO i worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is an AWS native SSO offering, that integrates with AWS Directory services and Windows Active Directory. I have used this in a lab environment and it was easy to set up. I like that I can have a single source for authenticating users, which saves me from creating Active Directory users and AWS users in IAM. This is also more secure.

I have not found too much not to like. It does not support providers like Google and Apple natively, but I think with SAML it is possible. If it is not possible, AWS Cognos will fill this need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The promise of a single login and simplified management of role assumption access to multiple accounts. It works okay for the console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The multiple CLI tools and SDKs do not play nice with SSO and role assumption which is critical to developer workflows.

Amplfy for example doesn't yet work with sso, https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli/issues/4488. neither does Terraform.

Configuring and using SSO requires a lot of additional command line arguments and remember a lot of various id. There is a whole niche universe of tools like https://github.com/benkehoe/aws-sso-util and https://github.com/benkehoe/aws-export-credentials that are built to work around the issue with the SSO experience for CLI uses that demonstrate the immaturity of the product.

For a good developer experience with good security isolation via multiple accounts setup, you still need to manually create tokens in each environment for your developers. The entire point of SSO is avoid that overhead.

I can't in good conscience recommend that companies use SSO for their development and devops teams, which I suspect are the majority of AWS users.

I'd assume all the Rah-Rah reviews above are people who don't really have to deal with the pain and frustration development teams with a devops practice have to go through to try to use this tooling, or they're paid reviewers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS single sign-on allows users to safely connect to the cloud environemnts such as the EC2 virtual machines, AWS hosted web services, and API.

Nothing. The product is excellent & integrates with most applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps to access multiple applications using only one credential. It helps integrate with different applications and allows people to access applications from a single console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Challenges with integration with various on-premise applications are a challenge. There have not been some standards of the box use cases for application integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This platform makes managing roles and permissions within an organization easy. With some help from an IT team member, an employee's roles and permissions can be changed in a snap. This impacts what software you have access to you based on your role within the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't had any issues with AWS SSO since we've began using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
