Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Cisco, Auth0 and others in Single Sign-On (SSO)."The on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"I like that it is easy to diagnose. It has a version of a virtual appliance so we can download it, run it, configure it, and it would take about 10 to 15 minutes to configure the cluster or so."
"Self-registration and self-service password management are valuable features. The role modeling feature is also very useful. It allows you to model your enterprise role."
"It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background."
"What I found most valuable in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is its simple GUI. It's also easy to deploy compared to other products. With other products, you have to install the Windows version inside the Windows machine on all units, but with Symantec Identity Governance and Administration, it can work offline, so the solution is a little bit easier than other systems."
"It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints."
"Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"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."
"The solution is not the best or the fastest available."
"Reporting could be improved."
"The directory has room for improvement. Also, the dashboards and, in particular, the KPI dashboard that shows the current user’s information needs reworking."
"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."
"I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO."
"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."
"We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules."
