Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Out-of-the-box the product has a lot of opportunity for configuration and sophisticated identity management capability. 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. It is easy to use, and does not requires an extensive programming or development background. | 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 | |
Although the capabilities are there, the user interface needs to be redesigned and the opportunities for integration should be improved. They should easier and better integration with other software. 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. | 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 The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic.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. |
