Unified data access has boosted analytics speed but still needs better governance and cost control
The best feature that Cloudanix offers is the unified data access layer connecting multiple sources, allowing access to all data from one place. It ensures real-time sync data across systems on-demand, keeping data up to date without manual export. It has cross-platform compatibility across AWS, Azure, GCP databases, and SaaS applications, supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and simplifies data queries by letting users query multiple sources as if they are one instance, reducing the need for complex ETL pipelines. The best feature of Cloudanix is the ability to unify distributed data sources into a single, scalable, and easy-to-query layer for faster analytics and simple data management. I have seen specific outcomes and metrics such as reducing the time spent on stitching data sets from multiple systems, where queries now run directly across the connected layer. The analysis time drops from thirty to sixty minutes. Reporting cycles improve, with reports generated five times faster. I reduce engineering data team workload by thirty to fifty percent fewer ad hoc data extraction requests and achieve lower infrastructure and pipeline costs, reaching a ten to thirty percent cost saving in data pipelines and ETL maintenance. Moreover, improved decision speed leads to reduction in the decision cycle from days to hours, enhancing data consistency with fewer discrepancies between reports. For example, before Cloudanix, an analyst spent three hours pulling data from three systems and another two hours cleaning and joining it. After using Cloudanix, the same analysis can be done with one unified query that gets results in a minute, allowing focus to shift to interpretation instead of preparation. Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources.

Has improved secure user access while managing development through multiple technologies
I have already explained this in my previous call; I don't handle financial terms and commercials. Pricing is generally managed by functional teams and management looking after licensing matters. In Pakistan, vendors such as Oracle and IBM manage account relationships with clients and have tailored pricing models, so I do not have sufficient insights into that aspect.IBM Security Verify Access installation process is not straightforward; it requires underlying specialized knowledge upon which the IBM products are based. The complexity and scalability of the architecture necessitate in-depth technical knowledge and understanding of the system. Thus, installation is not as simple as clicking through; it requires extensive configuration of the underlying application servers, such as IBM WebSphere, where these products are deployed and configured.

Pros

"Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources."
"Choosing Cloudanix has proven very efficient and intuitive, and it remains easy to handle compared to other products available in the market."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Security Access Manager, at least for my company, is multi-factor authentication. That's the only feature my company is using. The solution works well and has no glitches. IBM Security Access Manager is a very good solution, so my company is still using it."
"I have found this solution to be really practical and when a user wants to log in, it is effortless and runs smooth."
"From the integration point of view, it supports SAML, OIDC, and OAuth; for legacy applications that don't have support for SAML and other new protocols, it provides single sign-on access to end-users, and from the integration compatibility point of view, it is highly capable."
"It's a good solution for identification and access management."
"IBM Security Access Manager is a very good solution, so my company is still using it."
"The solution has powerful authentification and authorization. It offers a good way to increase security."
"The tool provides a password vault, single sign-on, and multifactor authentication. It offers various authentication methods like fingerprint integration, one-time passwords, or tokens sent via email or SMS. This ensures secure access to your accounts by providing multiple authentication options."
"Its stability and UI are most valuable."
 

Cons

"Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization."
"Costs are flexible but can become unpredictable if query volume grows quickly."
"The user interface for users and administrators could be improved to make it easier. Automating some functions could also be beneficial."
"The user interface needs to be simplified, it's complex and not user-friendly."
"They can improve the single sign-on configuration for OIDC and OAuth. That is not very mature in this product, and they can improve it in this particular area."
"They can improve the single sign-on configuration for OIDC and OAuth. That is not very mature in this product, and they can improve it in this particular area. OIDC is a third-party integration that we do with the cloud platforms, and OAuth is an authorization mechanism for allowing a user having an account with Google or any other provider to access an application. Organizations these days are looking for just-in-time provisioning use cases, but IBM Security Access Manager is not very mature for such use cases. There are only a few applications that can be integrated, and this is where this product is lagging. However, in terms of configuration and single sign-on mechanisms, it is a great product."
"There are a lot of areas that can be improved, but the main area is the lack of customization. You cannot easily customize anything in the product. It is not easy to tweak the functionality. It is challenging to change the out-of-the-box functionality."
"What we'd like improved in IBM Security Access Manager is its onboarding process as it's complex, particularly when onboarding new applications."
"The solution could be classified as a hilt system. There are a lot of resources being used and it is suitable for very large enterprises or the public sector."
"What we'd like improved in IBM Security Access Manager is its onboarding process as it's complex, particularly when onboarding new applications. We need to be very, very careful during the onboarding. We have no issues with IBM Security Access Manager because the solution works fine, apart from the onboarding process and IBM's involvement in onboarding issues. If we need support related to the onboarding, we've noticed a pattern where support isn't available, or they don't have much experience, or we're not getting a response from them. We're facing the same issue with IBM Guardium. As we're just focusing on the multi-factor authentication feature of IBM Security Access Manager and we didn't explore any other features, we don't have additional features to suggest for the next release of the solution, but we're in discussion about exploring ID management and access management features, but those are just possibilities because right now, we're focused on exploring our domain."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It costs about 300K AED for a year. Its pricing is a bit on the higher end, but in comparison to other products in the market, its price is still better. There are lots of other products that are very costly."
"The license and costs depend on the amount range of users you have. For just approximately 2,000 users, the price is practical and fair. However, when you have 20,000 users, it starts to become really expensive, and the discount per user is not attractive enough to go ahead and purchase."
"The product is not expensive. It depends on the number of users."
