Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""The mobile biometric authentication option improved user experience. It's always about security because, with two-factor authentication, it's always a separate device verifying the actual user logging in.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""It's pretty stable as a product.""We use the product to run different reports.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing.""What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly.""Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication.""The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information.""It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time.""The setup process is straightforward.""What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration.""The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."

Cons
"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.""If the solution is going to compete with Microsoft, they need to offer more unique functionality to keep their current user base.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings.""The solution should allow for better integration with other platforms and the UBT.""The product is not customizable."

"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution.""I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex.""Research and marketing need to be improved.""SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks.""One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends.""I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature.""A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM.""It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
