"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 solution was easy to deploy."
"The solution lacks the feature to work well with third-party applications."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Entra ID Governance could be providing more granular control over security policies."
"The platform's configuration process needs improvement."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"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."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
"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."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
