Microsoft Active Directory is still the standard in authentication.

It is very easy to setup and backup. Supports syncing with Azure Active Directory Services in the cloud. Using Active Directory the Administrator can manage all the IT resources such as users, storage on server, removabe storage, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
No visual tools or monitoring tools of any kind to monitor usage, etc. A little complex to implement policies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A central repository of Users and office resources is present and registered in active directory. I can connect external systems like a Firewall and authenticate access to the internet only to office users who are part of Active Directory.
