Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use SolarWinds Access Rights Manager [(ARM)] across the entire organization. It was primarily put in place to meet audit requirements when granting access to AD groups, file shares and onboarding or offboarding user accounts. We also just began to use the reconciliation feature as it is now available for AD groups.
Pros
- Very good integration with Active Directory
- Tracking changes made in Active Directory
- Approvals for access to different group memberships
- Helps us to improve our processes
Cons
- The emails generated could be improved, a little HTML or RTF goes a long way to readability
- The UI was designed by a coder, would be better to have some usability testing done.
- Better integration with non AD applications
Return on Investment
- It is a pain for users to now have to go through a process
- Data owners aren't always available in a small company which makes urgent requests difficult.
- The reconciliation is great at cleaning up privileges for users who shouldn't have them.
