"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"The solution is stable."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"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 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 security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."
"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
