Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Okta, SailPoint and others in Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS)."The solution was easy to deploy."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution is stable."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"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 solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."
"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."
"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."
"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."
"Comprehensive ecosystem."
"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."
"It's very easy to implement everything."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"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."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"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."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"The license could be better."
"The high availability architecture has to be improved."
"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."
"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."
"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."
"I found the initial setup to be very complex."
"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."
"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."
"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
