Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."The solution is stable."
"Another good feature is the change history. It's centralized in a single place and allows us to manage people's Active Directory domains from a central location. We can also drill down into individual objects in a troubleshooting or even an auditing situation. We can show evidence to auditors by drilling down into the individual history. It gives you all the history of what happened around an individual object. That is something that would be almost impossible to do in Active Directory, or extremely complicated."
"Having a tool to manage all changes to AD from a single pane of glass is awesome."
"It provides automatic provisioning/update/deprovisioning workflows from a source system to a target system."
"With the use of the sync service we were able to import information from multiple external systems and populate them within our space and leverage them for downstream systems."
"Active Roles improved the management of users, groups, and AD objects in the organization."
"It's valuable to us in that it resembles the native tools that most people have grown accustomed to... Active Roles resembles traditional tools, such as from Microsoft. That is really good because it eases the way people interact with the tool."
"The most valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and creating dynamic groups based on AD attributes."
"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"The third area for improvement, which is the weakest portion of ARS, is the workflow engine, which was introduced a few years ago. It's slow and not very intuitive to use, so I would like to see improvement there."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"There are some features that we think should be included in their next release. We think these things would take them to the next level: the ability to completely force or limit any dynamic group processing to specific servers, change-tracking reporting of virtual attributes, and the ability to use files as inputs to automation workloads. These things have also been talked about. Knowing them, they're probably working on them."
"For ActiveRoles, it would be good if the product supports multi-scripting language. You can use only VBScript."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"In terms of improvement, it could be made even more user-friendly for administrators when they need to create new workflows and rule sets."
"It also has workflows and those are really powerful, but there are no built-in workflows. When it comes to them, it's empty. I would personally love for it to come with ten, 15, or 20 workflows where each achieves a certain task... I could just look at how each is done, clone them, copy them, modify them the way I want them, and be good to go. Right now we have to invent things from scratch."
"For the AAD management feature, it needs to improve the objects that we can manage and the security."
"The product is very complicated."
