Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I like the eDirectory feature.""The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors.""The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good.""The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one.""The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator.""The product is easy to use."

"We use the product to run different reports.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering.""What I like best about PingID is that it's very user-friendly. PingID is well-built as a developer tool and regularly upgrades and updates via patches. I also like that PingID has clear documents that will help you integrate it with other solutions.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""It is a scalable solution...It is a stable solution.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""It's pretty stable as a product."

Cons
"It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface.""The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic.""Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy.""If it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.""NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date.""The solution architecture is somewhat complex. For some components, the necessary resilience is not inherent.""There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue.""The integrations must be made easier."

More NetIQ Identity Manager Cons →

"PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""The product is not customizable.""PingID's device management portal should be more easily accessible via a link. They provide no link to the portal like they do for the service. The passwordless functionality could be more comprehensive. You can't filter based on hardware devices. Having that filtering option would be great. Device authentication would be a great feature.""I think that the connection with like Microsoft Word, especially for Office 365, is a weak point that could be improved.""They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "You just need to be aware that the more systems you connect, the more license fees you have to pay."
  • "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."
  • "The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."
  • "It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."
  • "The solution is quite affordable."
  • "I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."
