Works

A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM

We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Centralized policy management and reverse proxy-based architecture make it very flexible in terms of deployment, adoption, and implementation."

"Tivoli Access Manager's proxy product (WebSEAL) is extremely fast."

"The combination of TAM with IDM in IBM Tivoli Identity Manager helped us to realize robust and secure authentication infrastructure in accordance with industry regulations and laws."

"Tivoli Access Manager (or IBM Security Access Manager) is a fully featured web authentication, sso and authorization product."

"It is a single product that caters for all the business needs throughout the organization."

"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."

"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."

"It is a good solution for anyone to take to their enterprise and get a buy in."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] pros

"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."

"This solution helped us with centralizing our IAM; it was spread out over many places, and now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."

"The thing we like the most is that this software is so easy to use; you don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."

"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."

"By giving users the ability to fully manage their own workspace, while still being able to monitor and administer such actions, we can focus on new-business and projects as we like."

Cons

"There is only a single step-up authentication path, but I have sometimes seen the need for several steps or a divergent path."

"Initial setup was complicated because TAM was implemented as a part of the IDM solution."

"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."

"The license model is pretty complex."

"There were endless issues with stability in version 8.0.1."

"There is Java process that hangs in WebSphere almost every month."

"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."

"It was complex for us as we have multiple domains."

More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] cons

"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."

"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."

"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."

"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."

"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."

"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
