Pros
"The most valuable feature for us is the ability to use Active Directory groups as virtual containers instead of domains because it means that we can control our access groups better."

"The solution was easy to deploy.""Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers.""It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections""Zero Trust implementation is a great feature.""Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE.""When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy.""The most valuable feature is single sign-on.""The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."

Cons
"The user interface needs improvement."

More Gemalto Protiva Cons →

"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory.""We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory.""vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not.""There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon.""I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files.""it's very dependent on an active directory""The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.""I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
