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."
"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."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"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."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"The solution was easy to deploy."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"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 license could be better."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
