Find out in this report how the two Active Directory Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature was conducting the automation of our cloud and all services of the Active Directory."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use, the ability for us to customize the access privileges for the users, and integration with ServiceDesk Plus."
"Simple with good automation."
"It is a stable solution."
"Makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"The product helps to validate every activity."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"The solution is stable."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"One of the features that I enjoyed most was the integration with Azure AD because I could use VMware Identity Manager to standardize the User Principal Name coming from Active Directory. You have Azure AD Connect to do that. In between, if you have vIDM handling it, you can easily get the synchronization of users into your VM and standardize the User Principal Name. If you require quality assurance for handling it, you can actually count on the vIDM to do so. That was one of the main things I enjoyed about the product."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"It would be nice if the solution offered some sort of brochure with some high-level information that would help sell it to management. If they had details around how much time it saves an engineer, for example, to show the ROI, it would be helpful."
"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well."
"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."
"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."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"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."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"The license could be better."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
