Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"HelpSystems Powertech's feature that I have found most valuable is its flexibility. It is able to be extended. A lot of the products these days, especially the ones on the cloud, are limited and can't handle all the use cases. Often there is not even a way to customize the application to meet uncommon use cases and HelpSystems provides an infrastructure that lends itself to the ability to be customized."

"I really like the separation of the duties. It is the most ambitious model in the server because you have to create all the different rules, especially business rules. You have to check with the client and set different policies and rules, and then, you to have refine them. You will notice what is bad in the company and where the real problem is.""NetIQ Identity Governance has improved the security of my company.""You can run reports and verify the access each user has. There is a process that runs automatically for access review. It sends an email to the manager and provides a task for the manager to review the users and access. The manager can approve or reject, and then it goes to the application owner for further review. This feature is especially important in large customer environments, as manual review can be challenging.""This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases.""I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful.""We’re very satisfied with technical support. Usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well.""All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition.""When doing a review you can either make manual or automatic fulfillment to immediately apply the manager's decision to the system, like removing or adding new permissions to the user account."

Cons
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the support of the product. It's hard to get support for it. I think this is emblematic of the fact that they don't have a lot of employees who have long-term experience with it."

"The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring.""NetIQ Identity Governance is not flexible. Sometimes, filtering information to provide users with options, such as selecting the application to which they want to request access, can be challenging. It needs to improve application integration as well.""The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence.""With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard.""We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS.""They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution.""Technical support is horrible.""The initial setup has room for improvement."
