Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors.""The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good.""It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems.""I like the eDirectory feature.""The product is easy to use.""The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel.""The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one.""The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."

"The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""We use the product to run different reports.""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.""This is a user-friendly solution.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""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."

More PingID Pros →

"Security and administration for any new/current access.""SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process.""Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features.""The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications.""It is a scalable product.""SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others.""The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle.""It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."

Cons
"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue.""The integrations must be made easier.""The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic.""Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy.""NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date.""If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement.""It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface.""The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent."

More NetIQ Identity Manager Cons →

"PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""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 product is not customizable.""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.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication."

More PingID Cons →

"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added.""Certifications could include additional access levels or practices.""The mover process for this solution could be improved.""When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple.""It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net.""The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs.""Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting.""They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
