We performed a comparison between UserLock and VMware Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet and others in Authentication Systems."The most valuable features are two-factor authentication and real-time logon monitoring."
"We mainly implemented UserLock for multi-factor authentication, but the user login insights are also nice."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"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."
"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 the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"I would like to see UserLock add the ability to automatically create a group policy in Active Directory. That might streamline the setup process."
"The product and service are already great as it is but if I could add one feature, I guess it would be nice to have another factor of authentication (two additional factors) like your phone and a token for example, for when people forget their phone at home."
"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."
"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."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"The license could be better."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
