Find out in this report how the two Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"The solution was easy to deploy."
"One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"The license could be better."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
