Microsoft Active Directory (AD) has been a cornerstone of enterprise identity management for over two decades. It offered centralized control, strong Windows integration, and a familiar setup for IT teams.<\/span><\/p>

But the IT landscape has changed.<\/span><\/p>

Today\u2019s environments are hybrid, cloud-connected, and platform-diverse. AD, built for another era, struggles to meet the demands of modern identity and access management (IAM).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Organizations relying solely on Active Directory face mounting challenges. Managing non-Windows systems\u2014especially Linux\u2014is cumbersome. The lack of modern, web-based tools makes daily tasks harder than they should be. Integrating SSO and MFA often requires extra configuration or third-party solutions. Monitoring and audit logging are fragmented, reducing visibility and control. Meanwhile, licensing and maintenance costs keep rising.<\/span><\/p>

More critically, using proprietary directory systems often means giving up control\u2014over costs and, in many cases, over your data. This is especially clear with Microsoft\u2019s recent moves. With Windows 10 support ending on <\/span>October 14, 2025<\/b>, organizations are being pushed to adopt Windows 11. Yet many devices, especially in enterprise settings, don\u2019t meet its hardware requirements. That means forced upgrades, higher IT spending, and deeper vendor lock-in. It\u2019s a clear example of how strategic control can shift from IT teams to vendors setting the rules.<\/span><\/p>

These issues slow down operations and introduce risks that modern IT teams can\u2019t afford to ignore.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

IAM today is more than managing user directories\u2014it\u2019s a foundation for security, flexibility, and operational efficiency.<\/span><\/p>

Key requirements include:<\/span><\/p>

  1. Cross-Platform Support<\/b> \u2013 Works seamlessly across Windows and Linux<\/span><\/li>
  2. Web-Based Management<\/b> \u2013 No deep scripting skills needed<\/span><\/li>
  3. Open Standards<\/b> \u2013 Built on LDAP, Kerberos, SAML, and more<\/span><\/li>
  4. G\u00fcvenlik<\/b> \u2013 Supports MFA, SSO, role-based access control, well defined non-standard password policy applications<\/span><\/li>
  5. Observability<\/b> \u2013 Tracks user actions and system events<\/span><\/li>
  6. API Integration<\/b> \u2013 Connects easily with external tools and workflows<\/span><\/li>
  7. Raporlama <\/b>\u2013 Capability of the IAM system to generate and provide detailed information about user activities, system events, access logs, and other relevant data.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    Including 3rd Party Tools <\/b>\u2013 Software should include 3rd party tools without extra cost<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
