Flexible with high performance and good reliability
The solution scales well. As an example, there has been an American telecom service provider that had 20 million users, and the data of those user profiles had been stored on Dirx Directory, and they don't have any issues in retrieving the data and using it for any kind of services. Regarding our clients, the amount of users depends on if you have end users that don't really use this Directory or not. They are stored in this Directory and make use of the services that are administered via this Directory. There we are talking about millions. Then, you have administrators who configure the Directory and there we're talking about, let's say, hundreds of users.

The ability to customize the UI would be good nonetheless, it is still a great interface.
Don't get overwhelmed with the product, and give an honest effort in trying to implement it yourself. You will find that you have opened an enormous door for yourself to get anything done. Since I started using UMRA, any request that comes through my desk is almost immediately possible because I know what UMRA can do. Also, creating the projects yourself, will save you time and money in the future when updates are needed to existing projects. Tools4Ever technical support is always available to answer questions if you get stuck. That said, UMRA is primarily a user management tool for your users, in whatever directory you happen to be using; So my statement above will only apply if you are also quite well versed with the workings of said directory.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility of the product."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The solution is extremely stable; typically if you don't change the setup, the configuration, or anything, it will be running for decades and nothing will happen as an issue."
"UMRA has been in production for seven years, and I can confidently say that I have never had a single issue with stability, even through upgrades."
 

Cons

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"The product provides an excellent framework but could use some polish on the front end to reduce the amount of configuration required for basic tasks."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"Scalability, however, can only happen vertically on any particular instance, as opposed to horizontally."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
