    I think that MIM is great for compliance since it reduces the number of logins that are required by users. Most offices have post-it notes with logins floating around because there are so many to remember or there are "shared" logins. This reduces the number of logins to 1 and you can easily revoke access in one fell swoop. This prevents gaps and holes with terminations and updates to select groups are super simple.

    Transmit Security
    Transmit Security hides nicely in the taskbar until needed. It works behind the scenes. It is seamlessly integrated into the Macs functionality. Transmit Security has helped us keep our systems secure while helping make our job easier all round. We would not change it for anything else now. It is our go-to FTP client.

    • For Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers is a great tool to set a codeless provisioning over new objects.
    • Can easily integrate with Active Directory and Exchange Servers, improving the identity sync between the final user and the lifecycle management.
    • Improvements in the areas of performance, simplified deployment easing the troubleshooting tasks, better documentation knowledge base, and more language support.
    • The codeless provisioning provided in FIM can sustain a variety from high demand to mid-size scenarios for account lifecycle management.

    • Updates were not happening as often, but that could be because they were not needed.
    • Some settings were being lost and had to be re-entered, but that has since been resolved.
    • Interface has improved tremendously since first it launched.

    Transmit Security
    It has seldom been we needed any support with Transmit Security, but when we did, they were on it. We got help in minutes rather than hours or days like other suppliers in this marketplace. Indeed, their support convinced us in the beginning that we had made the right decision.

    It is Microsoft. We are a Microsoft shop, primarily. It integrates deeply with Active Directory making it good for Microsoft Active Directory shops.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • We see a positive impact simply in the time savings alone. Chasing accounts around is time-consuming and prone to error.
    • The cost to us is negligible to the value it provides.
