"Multifactor authentication is valuable."

More Microsoft Entra Permissions Management Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information.""Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication.""What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly.""What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing.""The setup process is straightforward.""It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time.""What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration.""The most valuable features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."

Cons
"We use a third-party API called Nebula API to integrate the account for authorization. The time-bound access area in Entra can be a problem. It can be improved in terms of the granularity of the permissions."

"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing.""The pricing could be better.""I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex.""I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature.""A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM.""SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks.""What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution.""One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."
