Google Cloud Identity vs. ManageEngine ADManager Plus

For example, if the system you are building is a general application service that does not primarily focus on ID management, it would be wise to use a service like Google's rather than developing your own IDaaS. While there may be cases where an IDaaS other than Google's is acceptable, Google is likely one of the best solutions when considering user recognition and ease of use. On the other hand, Gmail addresses are commonly used for other purposes, and users may not pay much attention to password management, so you should avoid using them for systems that require security. To strengthen security, you should consider making multi-factor authentication mandatory, etc.

Any environment that runs on AD needs ADManager Plus. They have already built-in 95% of the queries and reports you will need. It provides a great window into your AD environment. The interface is very intuitive and for any reports or queries that aren't already packaged the product makes them easy to build

• It is expected that it will also support authentication methods that will become common in the future.

• This time, I investigated it in advance, and it worked as expected, so I don't have any specific ideas for improvement.
• Additionally, if we were using another IDAAS, it would have been beneficial to have knowledge on how to integrate it with Google tools, along with some relevant case studies.

• Reports can be hard to get what you need...sometimes they include fields that you don't need.
• The automation feature broke after an update and our complex automations stopped working.

We are very satfisfied with the software and when time permits, we hope to explore additional features we are not using. It has a lot of we ae not currently using due to staffing shortages.

I chose Google because I thought it would be the best fit, but I didn't fully consider other cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.), so I rated it 8. We assume that current Japanese users are familiar with Google, because we feel that there are far more people with Google email addresses than those with IDs on other cloud services.

The slick interface coupled with the prepackaged reports and queries, and the ability to sort and export that data makes the product great

Yes, it loads very quickly and moving between pages is very fast

Support for this software is not the greatest. If the software is not completely down, it can take up to a day to get a response back. However, once they do contact you they are friendly and helpful.

We adopted Google Cloud Identity as an additional feature because it allowed us to integrate with it using multi-factor authentication. The IBM Cloud platform remains valid, and we have no plans to discontinue its use for identity management. From the user's perspective, we simply added more authentication options. This also ensures we are prepared for future use when multi-factor authentication becomes available for user apps on the IBM Cloud.

We did not research any other applications. ADManager Plus was the first that appeared in our search. After a demo with their sales team, it was apparent that this was the application we wanted. The price was perfect too. We ordered it right away and implemented it within a couple of weeks.

• From a business perspective, there were two steps.
• First, we switched from our in-house ID management system to a cloud service. This allowed us to focus our development resources on application development.
• At the same time, we were able to localize the handling of personal information, which resulted in increased efficiency in management aspects, including handling external inquiries, and in the development of encryption.
• The second step was adding Google Cloud Identity as an option.
• This allows more users to easily use our services. It can be said that this has improved user convenience.
• I expect Google to accommodate future changes in authentication requirements, such as biometric authentication.

• It has a positive impact in our business in terms of resource and time management.
• It is reducing our time to resolve a user, password, group and mailbox related queries.
• It is reducing our time in bulk modification.
• It is helping us in the Auditing as it can generate multiple types of reports in just a few clicks.
