Likelihood to Recommend For companies that are already using other
Atlassian systems, then
Atlassian Crowd will fit in very well. This is especially the case if the company is not yet big enough to use LDAP for user management,
Atlassian Crowd can act as a temporary solution until the company outgrows it, as it is much easier and simpler than LDAP.

Organisations with and existing oracle and partner applications ecosystem. 3. Scenario where the user base is on the higher side and organisations looking to scale up in near future. 4. Organisation with complex workflow need in identity management process. Not well suited for 1. Small organisations or even medium ones which have a lesser number of applications 2. Scenarios where custom connectors need to be developed but at the same time turnaround should be quick. 3. Scenarios when features you are looking for are missing, getting them added could take a lot of effort. 4. UI is not very user-friendly and needs to be customised. 5. Takes time to stablise post going live
Read full review Pros It is very easy for users to create tickets Standing up atlassian crowd is a breeze Not having to manage any hardware infrastructure is great Read full review It has a very well-defined and scalable framework (LDAP directory). It scales particularly well, going from a basic platform to a complex one using customisation and extensions. It integrates well with other components like SSO and Access Manager to provide comprehensive a one stop identity management solution. Read full review Cons Some systems that are not crucial turned into more work than what was originally deemed necessary to successfully deploy Crowd. Linux support was there as it was built mostly to support Windows based systems Documentation was supported but most issues we had required us to contact Atlassian support. Read full review The cost could be lower. Support. Identity. Read full review Usability Overall good product and somewhat reliable when used in a specific manner. However, there are cons like unending bugs and no well-defined upgrade path. The product could have been more flexible and lite in terms of organisational infra needs. OIM is a robust product but other vendors are almost on-par now.
Read full review Support Rating Overall, support is good, you get quick responses from
Atlassian 's official support system, and documentation is decent enough for you to find what you need.
Read full review Alternatives Considered These products allow you to install them on your own infrastructure, so you can manage all aspects of them which can prevent you from getting throttled from API calls. When you hit a certain threshold of scale you may need to switch off of
Atlassian Cloud to your own hardware. When you are a small startup, however, this product is probably a good starting point.

Read full review Return on Investment New systems are tough when it comes to an ROI, as a dollar amount for saving time on a sign-in can be tough to track. Like most new systems that makes things slightly easier to execute as an end user or manage or support, it really might come down to the existing structure of how a company manages its users. The positives are always with the end user, which I have to say, Crowd was able to accomplish. Read full review It has a great impact from moving us from paper based to full EHR Compliance It's easy to check and see how users get and lose access to the systems that are administered through OIM It's also helping in tying down Policies and procedures within the Orgainization Read full review ScreenShots
