Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution is stable."
"It's valuable to us in that it resembles the native tools that most people have grown accustomed to... Active Roles resembles traditional tools, such as from Microsoft. That is really good because it eases the way people interact with the tool."
"Instead of deleting accounts, we like the deprovision option so that we can reverse any accidental deletions. It also gives a higher level of quality control in terms of enforcing any number of variables, such as making sure that an account has a description entered before the account can be created. We can backtrack and know the history of it that way."
"Because of Active Roles, we're able to synchronize on an even more regular basis. It enables us to provide even more information to the Active Directory, which helped us to group our users in a more consistent manner."
"It gives us attribute-level control and the AD management features work very well."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"The provisioning and deprovisioning saves a lot of time and skips a lot of errors."
"In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"It also has workflows and those are really powerful, but there are no built-in workflows. When it comes to them, it's empty. I would personally love for it to come with ten, 15, or 20 workflows where each achieves a certain task... I could just look at how each is done, clone them, copy them, modify them the way I want them, and be good to go. Right now we have to invent things from scratch."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"I've had a difficult time getting it to cooperate with Azure in the cloud and, while the support staff are very good and very knowledgeable, what they assist with just on a call doesn't go deep enough to help with a number of issues. The answer that comes back is that we'd have to start an engagement with Professional Services, which is fine but that takes time to schedule and it takes budget."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
"For ActiveRoles, it would be good if the product supports multi-scripting language. You can use only VBScript."
"Most of the time it just works."
"When doing a workflow, we would like a bit better feedback on the screen, as we're trying to get it to work. For example, there is a "Find" function that you need set up in a workflow to do some of the automation. It is not the easiest to get a result from those finds when you're trying to do that. In the MMC, they have a couple different types of workflows. In this particular case, we use their workflow functionality to find all of X within the environment, then if you find it, do X, Y, and Z. You can have multiple steps. When you do that search function within that workflow, it's really hard to find out, "Is my search working?" It would be nice if there was some feedback on the screen so you could see if your search is working properly within the workflow."
"The ability to send logs to a SIEM would be very beneficial."
