We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The most valuable and most interesting feature is the conditional access. The most valuable feature of the solution is the fact that I can use it to track who is sending which email, who is accessing which documents or which files, etc. These tools help me improve security within the enterprise environment. The feature that I find most valuable is the security layer of the identity and access management solution. The ability to secure on-premises and cloud-based workloads and to provide seamless authentication into hybrid workloads, which is also both on-premises and in cloud environments. The most valuable feature is that it provides protection for our company documents. The features that we find most valuable are security, mobility, and Single Sign-On. Microsoft integration products are strong. That is what I like about the product. | The solution is quite stable once you are able to overcome the bugs It has a very good response time. This solution has improved the organization in several ways, including saving many help-desk password-reset calls, IT staff productivity, and quicker user on-boarding. The most valuable feature is the flexible automation functionality which has optimized our user access privilege management. This has allowed us to create and delete user accounts more accurately and efficiently. This feature has enabled us to save time and resources needed to perform mundane manual tasks. Its most valuable feature is its scalability. |
Cons | |
The information that is available for the Active Directory portal is segregated here and there. In terms of the identity and access management solution for on-premises environment, I think Microsoft needs to eliminate or minimize the number of workloads for the solution to run in on-premises environment. This product was only launched two or three years ago and it is still in the process of becoming stable. They have to improve the User Entity and Behavioral Analysis. Instead of using the connectors from the third-party companies, they should make the Microsoft templates available with this product. If Microsoft would increase the number of the box connectors that would be helpful to all the customers who use it daily. | The initial setup is quite complex. The user interface is just awful. It's not user-friendly or intuitive at all. It responds fast but because of the bugs we have already had some major incidents and complete unavailability. Simplify & add more functionality to Identity Cloud Service (IDCS). You need full visibility because the suite of features are complex and you have to be clear on what you want to implement. They need to improve their backup strategy. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Microsoft Identity Manager comes with the premium or community license. If the customer doesn't have a premium license, the reseller who sells the licenses of Microsoft to the enterprise can extend the license for the client. | Information Not Available |
