"Word mining and risk campaigns are the most valuable features of this solution."
"What I found most valuable in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration is its simple GUI. It's also easy to deploy compared to other products. With other products, you have to install the Windows version inside the Windows machine on all units, but with Symantec Identity Governance and Administration, it can work offline, so the solution is a little bit easier than other systems."
"It has improved our user management. It is definitely streamlined."
"The most valuable features are role-based access and identity provisioning, which allow a single point of user access to multiple places."
"Connector Xpress and Policy Xpress and the new interface."
"I've used it to manage users, create and update, delete users, change passwords, and assign and change rules."
"The most valuable aspects of Symantec Identity Governance and Administration are all the features, it is the most complete solution on the market. It has features, such as scanners and portals, it has everything."
"I like that it is easy to diagnose. It has a version of a virtual appliance so we can download it, run it, configure it, and it would take about 10 to 15 minutes to configure the cluster or so."
"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"They should easier and better integration with other software."
"The reporting functions."
"There are several areas for improvement in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. They have no proper documentation on how to do backups. They also have a lengthy workflow process where we have to make some configurations to manage automation in the rules and in our tasks which takes time. We have to manually configure all the configuration files, and we cannot export users because there's no export system in Symantec Identity Governance and Administration. What we'd like to see in the next release of the solution is for them to make configuration and integration with other systems their top priorities. We have many API systems to manage, so hopefully, if they make these enhancements shortly, we can directly connect with our API systems when using Symantec Identity Governance and Administration."
"Reporting could be improved."
"It has a large footprint which you'd expect to be much, much smaller. Just to run basic services, we have 10 different servers. Also, if it were easier to manage, that'd be useful."
"The development process to create this connector is not as easy as I would like."
"A better information display for the approvals within the workflow would give them more information and the ability to comment back on a request as to why they're rejecting it. We've been telling them we'd like this improvement, and we hope to see it."
"Identity Manager has a lack of entitlement support, unlike other products that I have worked with."
