User lifecycle management becomes streamlined with unified access and context-aware policies
If applications support SAML protocols, integration is always an easy task. However, there are difficulties with form-based applications or LDAP-based applications, particularly traditional applications. We need more flexibility not only with SAML but also with LDAP-based and form-based applications. Context-aware access currently only works with SAML-based applications. If other application integrations could support context-aware access, that would be helpful, as companies are in a transition mode with various traditional, form-based, and LDAP-based applications. Mobile device management could be improved. Through Google Cloud Identity, we can manage Android applications and have control over iOS devices, but container functionality is missing. This is particularly important for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) scenarios, especially in India where the market is now split equally between iOS and Android users. Improvements in this area and integration capabilities would be beneficial.

Centralized access control has saved time and simplifies day-to-day identity management
I faced challenges earlier when I selected a role; it wasn't showing in any account it was associated with. It wasn't listing the account it was associated with, but later that feature came through and I am able to see that. When I select the role, this role is part of these many accounts or this particular account. I don't have anything else to add about the needed improvements at this point. I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology. AI growth is so fast, and I would think there should be some AI capabilities within IAM Health Cloud so that it would better serve the customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's easy to set up."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing security is context-aware access."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"The most valuable feature is that you can manage users from one central location."
"Everything is relatively good and overall, the product itself is good."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"IAM Health Cloud has positively impacted my organization by giving us all the required dashboards that we can manage everything from one place."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to better integrate with Mac's OS."
"To improve the product, the integration with third-party products could always be smoother."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"Google Cloud Identify could make the technology used easier to understand as a layman making it more user-friendly."
"Google Cloud Identity can be improved by having better integration with Active Directory, but since Active Directory is also a Microsoft solution, we don't think it will happen; that's the only disadvantage of Google."
"Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"I want the tool to improve its support. It should also incorporate some functionalities. Currently, preparing presentations in Google is a pain point. The tool’s certain features like user provisioning are not intuitive as well. The product’s LDAP support is very poor. Clients do not trust the product due to the spam."
"The password vaulting does not prevent the admins from reading users' passwords, and that's a debate."
"I choose an eight out of ten because I think this technology world is evolving very rapidly and AI is stepping into the technology."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The fees are paid monthly and there are no additional costs other than the licensing fees."
"When I worked on Cloud Identity, they offered a free or enterprise version. You can synchronize and create up to 100 user identities in the free version. After that, you have to purchase a business or enterprise license. In that model, you'll be charged based on the number of users."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The product is billed on a monthly basis depending on the number of users."
"The solution is not expensive."
"We probably spend about $50,000 a year on licensing."
"The licensing cost depends on the partners and the relationship between the company and the partners."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
