IAM solution - cloud-based?

[Jared Evans <jared.evans () GALLAUDET EDU>]

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has their Identity and Access Management instance
running exclusively in the cloud.  This is a critical piece of
infrastructure maintaining the level of access users have to various
resources.  What has your experience been when there are Internet
connectivity issues, either a full or partial outage?  Is this a type of
functional service that's better off being on-premises?
