Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution offers high performance.""DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory.""The most valuable feature is its knowledge.""The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."

More Atos DirX Directory Pros →

"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 most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors.""The product is easy to use.""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.""I like the eDirectory feature.""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."

Cons
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively.""Needs more available consultants and implementation partners.""The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release.""An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products.""The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

"There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue.""The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic.""The integrations must be made easier.""It needs some modern features.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.""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.""NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date.""The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent.""We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay."
  • "Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included."
  • "The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."
  • "It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."
  • "The solution is quite affordable."
  • "I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."
