Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy.""SAML 2.0.""OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server.""Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites.""The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Pros →

"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""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.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""We use the product to run different reports."

More PingID Pros →

"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others.""This solution is great for providing control access across your environment.""Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality.""One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface.""Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable.""Security and administration for any new/current access.""The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good.""It is simple and easy to implement."

Cons
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs.""The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help.""Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve.""The self-service portal needs improvement."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""The product is not customizable.""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.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution."

More PingID Cons →

"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.""If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers.""In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations.""We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool.""It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires.""The UI is complex.""They should lower the price and technical support should be better.""The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
