We performed a comparison between BeyondTrust Endpoint Privilege Management and VMware Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CyberArk, Delinea, BeyondTrust and others in Privileged Access Management (PAM)."The asset discovery feature is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very easy to pull assets into the database of the solution manager."
"One of the valuable features is the absence of any local user in a unique system. All users are defined in the AD; communication is only between Unix and AD."
"I find the comprehensive Privilege Access Management features valuable, including automation, and the ability to integrate with applications and the Windows operating system."
"The solution's least privilege enforcement has helped us ensure access is given to only the required people."
"The notable aspect is its ability to capture the application's behavior comprehensively and this thorough analysis is crucial for effective policy management."
"I would say session management on the go is the most valuable feature. When the session is going on, you can stop the session without terminating it for justification. You can cancel it. The recording takes very little space. Those are some things which the customers are worried about when they talk about session recording."
"The features related to application elevate is amazing. It helped the company to remove almost all admin local users."
"I find the solution’s features like section management, password management, and analytics valuable."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"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."
"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 feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"The initial setup was very difficult. Even if you are an expert in EPM, it is still very difficult."
"It should support XWindows Remote Desktop Access protocol for Linux/Unix."
"Reporting analytics is one of the areas that can be improved. It is a new cloud-based solution. So, many more specific reports can come out natively. Currently, we get all the events, and we put them in plug-ins. From there, we generate our own design of reports. If there is a much more solid or robust reporting analytics framework within the product itself, it would be helpful."
"Its feature for establishing workflows needs improvement."
"The other area to improve is that they rely on MS SQL servers only. You cannot have any other database behind them. They have to be on MS SQL. If they can do something about these issues, this would be a better alternative for some customers."
"They need to come up with better integrative options which should be customer-centric."
"The product should improve its price."
"It only has limited support for Mac."
"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."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"The license could be better."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
