We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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. It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background. We can tune, add, and build where we need to. The most valuable feature that we have is our almost real-time feed from our HR systems into CA Identity Manager, which then feeds down to all of our directories or applications that an employee could potentially need to access. It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined. Streamlines user access, consolidates applications. It has good endpoint support and endpoint connectivity to different versioning endpoints. | The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel. It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems. The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors. |
Cons | |
In the next release, there should be provisioning of your certifications. 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. Needs more cloud integration, which hopefully will be coming soon. Provisioning has a dependency on Windows. 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. Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with. We would like to see integration with analytics. Also, for them to be more efficient regarding discovering and implementing new rules. | There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue. If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement. The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The connector is free, and bundled with the product. | Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included. You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay. |
