Cons
"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing.""We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved.""The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions.""It functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP."

More Entrust Identity Enterprise Cons →

"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.""The license could be better.""it's very dependent on an active directory""The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.""I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files.""The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android.""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.""I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
