Find out in this report how the two Access Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has some great features, such as identity governance, and user self-service. The Outlook application is very good and is used by a lot of people even if they are using Google services."
"Azure Active Directory provides us with identity-based authentication, which secures access at the user level and also integrates with conditional access policies and multi-factor authentication helping to increase the identity security for that person. So, the hacking and leaking of passwords is a secondary problem because you will not authenticate a person with one factor. There is a second factor of authentication available to increase the security premise for your company."
"It's an easy product to maintain."
"Privilege identity management is the most valuable feature."
"Privileged Identity Management (PIM), managed identities, dynamic groups, and extension and security attributes are all great features."
"It's a quite comprehensive solution and it scales quite well within our required scale as well, which is very useful."
"It is very simple. The Active Directory functions are very easy for us. Its integration with anything is very easy. We can easily do third-party multifactor authentication."
"The features around permissions are excellent."
"The single sign-on feature is excellent."
"There are lots of options to customize the solution to your needs."
"It's very easy to integrate with applications."
"The most valuable features of NetIQ Access Manager are SSO and Multi-Factor Authentication."
"The features that we have found most valuable with NetIQ Access Manager are its single sign-on and two factor two second factor database."
"The synchronization with the local Active Directory and synchronization with all of the users on the local and cloud could be better."
"We previously used Microsoft's technical support, which was excellent; they were very responsive. Now, we use a CSP, and their support is lacking, so I rate them five out of ten."
"An area where there is room for improvement is the ease of use of the dashboards."
"I think the solution can improve by making the consumption of that data easier for our customers."
"The scalability of the solution is good."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of its integration with the local Active Directory. There are some gaps in terms of the local Active Directory through which Microsoft is syncing our environment from our data center. There should be the availability of custom attributes on Azure Active Directory. In addition, there should be the availability of security groups and distribution groups that are residing on the local Active Directory. Currently, they are not replicated on Azure Active Directory by default."
"I haven't had any issues with the product."
"I would like them to improve the dashboard by presenting the raw data in a more visual way for the logs and events. That would help us understand the reports better."
"Classification of junctions and new versions of applications, such as APIs, can be added to enable the use of more devices that utilize biometrics for Multi-Factor Authentication to improve the solution."
"The application portal could be improved with more options and easier customization."
"I would love to see the upgrade procedure handled more effectively. I would prefer to have OVS installation possibilities, although the upgrade procedures should include the OS as well. You should be able to use the whole application as an appliance."
"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the security of the infrastructure and the server and the working networking device."
"Having the ability to easily extract and view and compare and version control configurations would be ideal."
