Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for.""SAML 2.0.""The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy.""Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites.""OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."

"The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use.""The soundness of the solution is its most valuable feature. For example, if you are in our corporate network, you can log on without any traffic interfering.""This is a user-friendly solution.""It provides ease of connecting all our devices.""It's pretty stable as a product.""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

More PingID Pros →

"The support is very good.""One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface.""What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy.""The tool is quite stable and user-friendly.""The tool's GUI is user-friendly.""The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources.""The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things.""The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."

Cons
"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs.""An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help.""The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available.""The self-service portal needs improvement.""Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] Cons →

"The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""They could use some bio-certification. It's just more user-friendly and more convenient than entering the one time passes. That would be an improvement.""PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""The product is not customizable.""PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex."

More PingID Cons →

"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine.""Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting.""Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time.""They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same.""There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience.""The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them.""We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support.""Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
