Active Roles with Office365 Add-On and Synchronization Service

Is any one here using the ARS Sync Service with Office365?  What is the user count being synchronized?  Were you using FIM/MIM prior with ADConnect/DirSync?  How would you compare ARS Sync Service with ADConnect and FIM in terms of features and performance?

If you are making changes to Exchange Online in Office365 how are you executing them?  Are you delegating abilities like send-as through ARS?  How?

    I have worked with customer environments ranging from a few hundred Users to just under 50,000. Our solution can integrate with either a clean Office 365 tenant or one which has been populated with DirSync. I have been involved with a few customers who required the creation of a custom Active Roles Synchronization Service Workflow in order to populate some items from Office 365 into the on-prem environment, but in most cases this is not necessary.

    The current version of the Office 365 add-on performs batched processing, queuing changes which are periodically synchronized using the Active Roles Synchronization Service. Your performance will vary depending on the specifications assigned to the machine hosting the Active Roles Synchronization Service, but as a general ball-park metric, the customer above who had 50,000 Users and about 4600 Groups consistently saw a Full Sync complete in around 30-40 minutes.

    Active Roles presumes that the majority of your User management will be performed on-prem, usually through the Active Roles Web Interface.

    Delegating rights such as "Send-As" is possible, but not using an out-of-the-box configuration. It would be necessary to implement a customization in the solution which leveraged a custom PowerShell script in order to achieve this.
