Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good.""I have found the overall features to be useful.""For each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."

"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.""Provisioning engine (on the back-end, separate from front-end components, that's part of layered architecture).""It offers a nice price. It's mid-range.""I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules.""Governance.""Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability.""There are many valuable features within the solution. The product is easy to customize. It’s also highly secure.""When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."

Cons
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance.""I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools.""The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."

More Imanami GroupID Cons →

"The product has a lot of need for improvement. Our issues are being raised back to the vendor as enhancements.""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.""Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved.""There are times that it takes too long to generate reports and to run the assessment tools to collect the information.""The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions.""Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud.""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 development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of the solution is reasonable."
  • "It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

  • "Compared to other options, CA products are not that expensive."
  • "The price is based on the number of users."
  • "Pricing and licensing models are adequate and reasonable."
  • "The connector is free, and bundled with the product."
  • "I do not recall the approximate prices or licensing models, although I do so that it was priced per user number."
  • "The product has a good price in competition with another product with the same solution."
  • "Symantec keeps increasing the price. I rate its pricing a seven on a scale of ten."
  • "The price is flexible for our existing customers."
