We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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."

More Varonis Platform Pros →

"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 most valuable feature is single sign-on.""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.""The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project.""Zero Trust implementation is a great feature.""The solution is stable.""Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers.""The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."

Cons
"The product is very complicated."

More Varonis Platform Cons →

"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.""vIDM could be improved with the multi-tenant capabilities that VMware tends to offer—features like customization branding and the integration of the app catalog based on the branding. Since the integration has been at top-level OGs, you were not able to then do rebranding if you were required to use specific user groups to highlight specific applications. At the time, I was personally opening feature requests for these things. I haven't worked with the latest release, so I don't know if these features were already deployed or not.""it's very dependent on an active directory""The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android.""Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory.""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.""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."
