Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering.""It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""PingFederate gives you granular control over the settings. There are many options for fine-tuning policies.""It's pretty stable as a product.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""The solution is highly stable and scalable""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication.""What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration.""The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning.""The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information.""What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing.""It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time.""The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles.""The setup process is straightforward."

Cons
"Notifications and monitoring are two areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement.""The initial setup appears to be difficult in the beginning.""PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature.""PingFederate's UI could be streamlined. They have recently made several improvements, but it's still too complex. It's a common complaint. The configuration should be simplified because the learning curve is too steep.""PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users.""Currently, the main integration is SAML-based, but other integration methodologies need to be supported.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings."

"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing.""I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature.""The pricing could be better.""SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks.""One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends.""What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution.""I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex.""Research and marketing need to be improved."
