Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The solution offers high performance."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"It provides automatic provisioning/update/deprovisioning workflows from a source system to a target system."
"The most valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and creating dynamic groups based on AD attributes."
"Having a tool to manage all changes to AD from a single pane of glass is awesome."
"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."
"With the use of the sync service we were able to import information from multiple external systems and populate them within our space and leverage them for downstream systems."
"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."
"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."
"Another issue we have with the product is that we run a lot of custom tasks. You have to program them to run on one particular host and there's no automatic failover to a second host. If that host is down when a task is supposed to run, it has to wait until the next time it runs when that host is up."
"The third area for improvement, which is the weakest portion of ARS, is the workflow engine, which was introduced a few years ago. It's slow and not very intuitive to use, so I would like to see improvement there."
"The initial setup was quite easy, but it was time-consuming. It took about three months."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"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."
"There are some features that we think should be included in their next release. We think these things would take them to the next level: the ability to completely force or limit any dynamic group processing to specific servers, change-tracking reporting of virtual attributes, and the ability to use files as inputs to automation workloads. These things have also been talked about. Knowing them, they're probably working on them."
"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 solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
