Tres de las cosas que nos gustan acerca de AWS IAM son principalmente la gestión granular de permisos, la integración completa con todos los servicios dentro de AWS y su buena implementación en ellos, y el soporte de accesos temporales con integraciones a un idp externo (Active directory, auth0, y google workspaces).
Read Full ReviewTools like policy simulator are great. The level of granularity is great for fine tuning and for power users who can plumb the depths of documentation to understand the nuance of how conditional expressions are logically evaluated.
Read Full ReviewGranular control: This is a key part of the AWS platform, letting you define super-specific permissions for any user or service on any resource. This level of fine-grained control is essential for security. Seamless integration: IAM works with every other AWS service right out of the box. You don't need a third-party tool for basic access control, which simplifies management and auditing. Cost: Its a core service with no extra cost, which is a major advantage compared to other identity management solutions that charge per user.

Dentro de las cosas que menos nos gustan sobre AWS IAM son: La curva de aprendizaje es realmente alta y complicada, aprender a utilizar el producto puede demorar semanas e incluso meses. Por otro lado, dentro de las cosas negativas se encuentra la falta de visibilidad en permisos efectivos, muchas veces determinar qué permisos realmente tiene un perfil o rol cuando hay varias políticas heredadas, denegaciones y fusiones se puede volver confuso. Además, la escalabilidad ante miles de roles puede demorar la carga de la interfaz web y volverlo un poco más tedioso.
Read Full ReviewComplexity and learning curve: Writing a policy can be tricky. It takes a lot of time to learn the syntax and figure out how policies interact with each other. This is a big hurdle for new users. Debugging policies is a pain: When you get an Access Denied error, figuring out the exact line in a JSON policy that's causing the problem is very difficult and time-consuming. The tools could be better. User interface: The console can feel clunky and unintuitive. It's not very user-friendly for day-to-day administration compared to some competitors who focus on a clean user experience.

AWS IAM Delivers Strong Security But Presents Notable Complexity And Usability Challenges
AWS IAM is the foundation of security for any AWS workload. It's a critical, reliable, and powerful service that enables us to enforce a strong security posture. It's not the easiest to learn, but the peace of mind it provides is well worth the effort. - MANAGER50M-1B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
AWS IAM Enables Precision Access Yet Requires Advanced Skills for Administration
My experience with AWS AIM has been fundamental to our operations. As we manage a consumer credit platform, security and compliance are our top priorities. IAM acts as the backbone of our security posture, allowing us to enforce strict governance over who can access our private algorithms and sensitive customer PII. - SR.

Integrated Identity Management and Automated Provisioning Enhance AWS IAM Efficiency
AWS IAM has been a breeze since we have deployed it. We have also integrated it with another identity provider and have been syncing the directory users and groups. This makes it much easier to manage resource access by leveraging synced accounts, especially when vendor access is required. You can also create custom roles and policies as desired. All enabling and disabling is managed automatically by the sync/provisioning. - CLOUD ENGINEER / CLOUD SPECIALIST50M-1B USDBankingReview Source
AWS IAM : The backbone of access control
Useful services from AWS to create end to end access key creation for user authentication The policy creation and management can be a bit tricky and you can may overprovision but if management carefully extremely useful
