Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."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."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture)."
"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Streamlines user access, consolidates applications."
"Governance."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"The Identity tool needs to do more kinds of reporting for audit purposes. It doesn't really track any of the metrics that are useful to us, at this point."
"Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
"The drawback with the CA Identity Manager is they don't have a connector to HR systems like SAP, or PeopleSoft, or Workday. That's a major drawback with the CA Identity Manager. For that we have to do lots of custom quoting to get data from HR systems. And if they could connect it to GRC systems, that's good to have in an identity product."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
"They provide a framework to develop your own connectors. A connector is a piece of software that integrates with the solutions that are not a part of the support matrix. Currently, it is difficult to create these connectors in this solution. Other solutions, such as NetIQ Identity, provide a better way to create your own connector. Currently, there is no cloud version. It should have a cloud version."
"There are several areas for improvement in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. They have no proper documentation on how to do backups. They also have a lengthy workflow process where we have to make some configurations to manage automation in the rules and in our tasks which takes time. We have to manually configure all the configuration files, and we cannot export users because there's no export system in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. What we'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for them to make configuration and integration with other systems their top priorities. We have many API systems to manage, so hopefully, if they make these enhancements shortly, we can directly connect with our API systems when using Symantec Identity Governance and Administration."
"It has a large footprint which you'd expect to be much, much smaller. Just to run basic services, we have 10 different servers. Also, if it were easier to manage, that'd be useful."
"The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions."
