No, and we're currently scaling towards 40+ drivers and 120,000+ identities and it just keeps working. I know of big environments where they fan out changes to a second vault and from there fan out to the connected systems. This, however, is because of the level of complexity of what the university wants to achieve, not because the product itself can't handle it. Also, this is a million+ identity vault.

I would give NetIQ Identity Manager nine out of ten for scalability. It handles millions of users in the US and almost two hundred thousand in Brazil, which shows it can grow with demand.

I would rate the scalability a six out of ten. While some components can be scaled horizontally, others can only be scaled vertically, which is problematic.

There are around 40,000 end users using it in my organization.

We have around 5000 users in our organization. The maintenance period is already finished. We do not do maintenance anymore. We have around 15 engineers and support personnel in our technical team. I rate the tool’s scalability an eight out of ten.

NetIQ Identity Manager can improve the bulk account uploads, it's very slow. You need to do it one by one. We work in the education sector, and every year we have approximately 20,000 accounts to create in a very short period, the NetIQ Identity Manager has a problem with this, we need to use a batch job. For example, we cut it into 10 batches and execute them one by one, so that it will not interrupt our production environment.

Even though we have upgraded the hardware, the software used for NetIQ Identity Manager could improve. The scalability can be better.

Yes, it does not scale well and licensing is very expensive. Again, does not run well on Windows so upgrades were a nightmare.

In terms of scalability, it depends on how much you want to spend to scale because they charge for connectors. You can connect virtually everything to it. They have connectors for most of the systems in the market including databases, cloud solutions, etc.

The company just launched an update so they are upgrading. They need to connect to the new SAP version. They were planning on connecting to the latest version of existing systems.

Product is very scalable. It is matter of optimizing the rules used during the integration process.

There were no scalability issues. In fact, we have incorporated many users by acquisitions and it is safe to climb; your performance does not degrade.

Scalability becomes an issue if the vision changes from the initial implementation. Not being flexible and having to rewrite quite a bit of code for even a simple added feature makes it difficult.
