Univention Corporate Server is well suited:

If an Organization would like to use it as a complete Active Directory Server.
If an Organization wants to deploy other applications which are important like SSO, Mail Server, 2FA etc., as with one click all these Apps will be integrated magically thus reducing the Admin job considerably.
Web based management which will be quite useful for the Admins who are from Windows background only.
Univention as a company which has close to 2 decades of experience.

As Univention is from Germany, lot of informative articles are in German but English articles are also good but less in number.

Alternatives Considered

I used Azure services a little but I think IAM is the best one so we are using IAM and will keep using this.
