Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The notification alert feature where the network admin gets notified of probable malicious activity is the most valuable feature.""One important feature is the administrator access, mainly for Windows machines as well as Linux machines. It is important for us because there is accountability associated with each user ID. And the recordings are also helpful.""100% compliant and you don't have to maintain ID management for each and every user.""After storing the administrator password in this password vault of the solution, the solution can automatically go and change the password based on the defined frequency with the defined complexity.""It gives us a lot of comfort in terms of security level. Our infrastructure devices and servers are secured and nobody can have unauthorized access to them.""One standout feature of ARCON is its ability to resolve lagging issues, especially noticeable in Linux environments.""Previously, we had to go through some effort to change the credentials of our devices. The process was subject to human error... For things like managing credentials, some kind of register had to be maintained. With the Password Vault of ARCON, all these processes are automated. The credentials are changed, as per the schedule. The information is encrypted, kept in our vault, and sent to all the email addresses within the ARCON solution itself.""Session recording is the most valuable feature, as it covers compliance and it also covers our in-house applications."

"We have seen a slight reduction in help desk calls, as this solution is a self-service product.""The best part of One Identity Manager is that it provides wholesome features. Most of the things required for identity management are given out of the box in One Identity Manager. You can just define your use cases, take this tool, and right away implement the solution.""The best feature is that it's customizable. For example, we can create any kind of product or custom service within an IT shop and customize it the way our customers need it. For the customers, it's the best. They are happy with it.""One Identity Manager offers several features that I found advantageous compared to other tools.""The solution does lots of things that we did manually before.""Quest One IDM allows for large customization.""The most valuable features are that it has a lot of capabilities, can integrate with a lot of systems, including automated onboarding like CyberArk, and allows you to integrate different entities.""The solution does help us efficiently manage lots of authorizations automatically."

Cons
"They need to support all web browsers. At the moment it only supports Explorer, IE. They have to come up with a solution to support all browsers.""The deployment process is a bit complex because no document is available.""The solution lacks to offer a governance mechanism for operational technology assets.""The usability should be expanded to other browsers like Chrome and Firefox.""If you take Microsoft hypervisor - which comes with its own interface, its own web layer, etc. - something like that also requires privileged IDs. As per our institution policy now, everything has to come through ARCON. We have demanded that these kind of advanced features also should be there.""There are no APIs readily available... I'm working on automation for ARCON so that whatever the ARCON administrator is doing will be automated, rather than having to do it manually. For that, I had to spend months to get the API developed myself. Having that handy out of the box, that would really help...""A few areas for improvement in ARCON would be performance optimization, ensuring smoother management.""For the in-house built applications, they need to provide good, solid access through their portal."

"We are trying to get rid stability issues from the legacy version. We are now implementing version 8.2, which is so much better than version 6.""I would like to see a lot more integration with our platforms, more on the connector side.""There are too many different user interfaces. For example, one is the designer and another is the manager. There's also a web interface and an object browser. It would be helpful to consolidate all of those into a single administrator portal.""Right now, they run an on-prem solution. Our preferred solution for cloud is Azure. So, we have yet to determine how we want to take this forward, because at this time, we are only using Graph APIs to do some Azure-related actions.""It is particularly slow if you are using it in a large organization.""Sometimes, when we implement One Identity in the organization, customization has to happen. You cannot skip the customization. You cannot just implement the One Identity model and go ahead with it. However, whenever we make any customizations, the logic of the customization can interfere with the existing logging of One Identity. All such things have to be a bit clear. They have to be well documented. One Identity should provide information about how these things work.""We would like the product to integrate with ServiceNow, since One Identity Manager and ServiceNow are two of our better tools.""One Identity Manager is currently in the process of modernizing its UI, which I hope will result in a more user-friendly interface for its Identity Manager. However, it is uncertain whether they have plans to consolidate their various tools into a unified system to simplify configuration and tasks."
