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

IAM is the heart of AWS security. Main and most important thing is that you can grant privileges on granularity level of API call for certain object in certain region and availability zone . You can control all your users and their privileges from one place.Other great features are: two factor authentication, Active Directory integration, great web interface to manage policies, roles and group and useful predefined policies. Last but not least is feature called "IAM Roles for Amazon EC2" which allow you to assign role to EC2 instance without keeping credentials on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- Granular permission control

- GUI interface is easy enough to use, has room for improvement however

- CLI interface is easy to use

- API interface available to dynamically build roles

- Must have good IAM roles setup to manage application access, as it is the entry point into your cloud system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

- GUI interface can be simpler. AWS tends to build minimum UI but the ability to CLI and use API interfaces makes IAM a winner still

- Automatic Threat Detection / Access is not built in to IAM. You need to setup your own monitoring using other AWS services to look for access anomalies. If this was built into the service, it would make it a very appealing full stack Identity service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The basic functionalities are there. It's what you need to use in order to access the other AWS goodies.

It's easy to setup really advanced and specific policies, giving your users only the access they need.

Powerful administration tools and fine-grained tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The UI could use some improvement. It's often hard to find things.

Policies are powerful but unnecessarily complicated - the same could be accomplished with a UI, leaving less room for mistakes.

You can potentially do actions which don't make sense - if I had a penny for every time somebody set up an account for me, just to have them reconfigure permissions later... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
