"Automated provisioning removes manual labor and manual provisioning.""It's a very useful tool that has improved our client's security, from day one.""The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places.""I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules.""​It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined​.""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.""Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution.""When comparing it to other products, you can set up CA IAM in a PoC very quickly to demonstrate its provisioning capabilities."

Cons
"It would be nice to see this great tool integrate with other tools out there.""Room for improvement in my eyes would be being able to share my credit cards and other types of information. The only thing they really share is passwords, and you can only do it with one password at a time. When you're trying to share it out or trying to remove it from being shared, you can't do multiple selections.""The organization of items needs improvement. For example, when I log onto the cloud version as well, everything is shown on my folder. It is hard to differentiate between files and documents in my list of items I have stored inside.""Possible offline access to passwords. Therefore, when internet access is unavailable, I can still access my vault.""The user experience and the mobile app could be improved.""API possible needs improvement. Although, this feature is for enterprises which need more then the usual usage.""The technical support has no experience.""If you purchase the premium, then after the subscription expires, you cannot edit your passwords any longer, even if you could before you purchased the paid subscription."

More Keeper Cons →

"The reporting functions.""I find the API boring. I also faced issues while integrating with CA SSO.""Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with.""A better information display for the approvals within the workflow would give them more information and the ability to comment back on a request as to why they're rejecting it. We've been telling them we'd like this improvement, and we hope to see it.""Reporting could be improved.""The product works slowly while accessing cloud-native solutions.""Integration capabilities with other solutions and formats, including JSON, could be improved.""Symantec is only on-premises, not on the cloud."
