More Atos DirX Directory Pros →

"One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product.""The solution is stable.""The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize.""It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections""The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project.""Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers.""The solution was easy to deploy.""The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."

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

"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions.""The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android.""The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago.""The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.""We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory.""There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve.""I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files.""The license could be better."
