Microsoft Identity Manager Primary Use Case

AnvarSadique - PeerSpot reviewer
Information Technology Architect at GMS INC

In our organization, we use Microsoft Identity Manager as part of our Microsoft setup. It is all about making life easier for our users. When they log in, they can access all their apps with a single sign-on. Our admins also get to control access levels easily. This works great with Microsoft services like email and applications, even if we are using Microsoft servers. While I haven't looked beyond Microsoft, within our setup, Microsoft Identity Manager is a fantastic tool for managing who can do what, and it is a big help to our team.

We are currently using a hybrid identity access management solution. We've got an on-premise ADFS that is running a Server 2016 ADFS farm. That is coupled to a Microsoft Identity Management Server 2016, which is then coupled to Azure Active Directory as the cloud-based identity and access management solution.

Consultant at NETI

There have been only two, maybe three projects related to this product. The challenge with obtaining information about these projects is that we focused mainly on designing the solution. 

The customers did not want continuous involvement in the operations because they couldn't see immediate results. So, we started with initial contact and face-to-face interviews to understand the organization's structure. Then, we began integrating the solution, including the site-based aspects and the schema for the metadata directory, which is essential for working with other components. 

However, the time spent designing and integrating the identity solution is a challenge. The deployment process is not quick. In the best-case scenario, it may take around six months before you see some tangible results at the beginning of the implementation of the identity solution.

The primary use case is for the single migration of the user from on-premises to Azure Active Directory in the cloud. It is also used for the Microsoft authentication application for mobile devices.

We authenticate on the smart device back to back so they can access their emails and other applications.

We are planning to use this for the Windows 10 authentication as well as directly from the Azure Active Directory.

We also have many deployments related to lifecycle management in schools and the education sector.
