CA Identity Manager (CA IAM) Review

I find that the propagation of identities is what is most valuable about the solution.

It would be great if they could enable social media identities. That’s the one thing we would like to have.

I've used it for five years.

The installation was OK. We had some problems with operating it, and because we use other products in the suite it made upgrading more complex. We do have a lot of other of their products also.

We’re only using it for employees, so the stability is handled very well.

We're not putting too many users into the system, so it handles this very well.

They have been very proactive.

They have been very proactive.

It was done in-house.

We have a functional need. Therefore it was considered as more of an expense rather than an investment.

We looked at Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite that was the major contender at the time.

I would be clear on what is the price for your customer and their identities. If you are going to manage partners, customers and other entities the numbers can get quite large, so it’s important to understand what you are getting.

We did a number of things in our deployment which made life more difficult on us. All in all it’s a positive relationship. The only concern we have is with the social logins and clouds.
