    One area that could be improved with SAP Identity Management, other than support, is user engagement from an implementation perspective. It would be beneficial for SAP to extend their events and workshops that are currently performed for partners to their final customers, as many customers want to know what's new and what else they can do without solely depending on the partners. For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers. The support could be improved for the specific needs in Brazil, as many customers have difficulty accessing the support center due to the language barrier. This feedback is specific to Brazil, though it's unclear if SAP receives similar feedback from other countries. It could certainly be enhanced with Portuguese documents, among other improvements.

    Quotes from Members

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

    Pros

    "EEM is always up, and very rarely do I have to get involved with an EEM machine."
    "It has helped our managers in measuring application SLAs and viewing historical performance data."
    "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."
    "The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."
    "Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."
    "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."
    "The setup process is straightforward."
    "There is definitely ROI because we use this as our enterprise-wide SSO solution."
    "What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications."
    "With SAP IDM we have stopped manually managing all changes in user accounts after his/her transferring between organizational units."

    Cons

    "EEM is pretty strong and it's always there when we need it, but there is really no wow factor for me with EEM."
    "We’ve had consistent issues with this application."
    "It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
    "There are also some issues with the UI, the ACLs and performance - depending on the configuration and Identity DB size."
    "I believe they could make a lot of improvements on SAP IDM. There is also a lack of startup connectors to different systems, and they could have better cloud integration connectors for SAP IDM."
    "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."
    "Research and marketing need to be improved."
    "I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."
    "The standard one is not friendly and very time-consuming for elementary operation."
    "SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."

    Pricing and Cost Advice

    Information not available
    "The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
    "I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
    "When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."
