More ObserveIT Pros →

"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize.""The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules.""Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE.""The solution was easy to deploy.""The solution is stable.""It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections""One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product.""Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."

Cons
"ObserveIT is not scalable and it's not for the medium to large corporations. It's for the smaller environments. For the larger corporations, we have other scalable solutions."

More ObserveIT Cons →

"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions.""We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory.""Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory.""The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago.""it's very dependent on an active directory""The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android.""There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve.""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."
