Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems.""I like the eDirectory feature.""The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel.""The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors.""The most valuable feature of NetIQ Identity Manager for identity synchronization is the ability to provide users with all necessary access on day one through automated provisioning, facilitated by approval workflows.""The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one.""The product is easy to use.""The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator."

"I find the auto-discovery feature the most valuable. It helps us automate a lot of things using a single password across applications.""The solution is stable. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches.""The only feature we were looking for in PingID was SSO integration with our existing web app.""I like the self-service feature. The 502 and UBP systems are also excellent. PingID's ability to authenticate with SSH, RDP, and Windows login is pretty handy. It covers the entire spectrum of use.""It's pretty stable as a product.""The solution has a smooth and configurable user interface for single sign-on capabilities.""We use the product to run different reports.""It gets a mobility portal in place in conjunction with Office 365. It provides very good possibilities and it's much better than other technology that we have used before which was unstable and slower."

More PingID Pros →

"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy.""The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager.""The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good.""IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security.""It is a scalable product.""The solution is stable and reliable.""The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things.""This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."

Cons
"Areas for improvement are further enhancing the access granting process to reduce time and improve accuracy.""We have another system that is using the SAML system, and we also integrate with Active Directory only. If NetIQ Identity Manager can integrate directly, we would not need to use the Active Directory directory.""If it could be operated in such a way that anybody could use it, with just the user interface, and there's no need for programming, then that would be a great improvement.""The interface is old and outdated, and the design software seems archaic.""It needs some modern features. They should improve and modernize their management interface. It has been created over years and by different persons. You can see different applications, different management consoles for different things. There should be an integrated interface.""NetIQ Identity Manager could improve by updating the user portal, it is out of date.""There's no huge thing missing, because it's already comprehensive. Now and then, however, there might be a minor issue.""The integrations must be made easier."

More NetIQ Identity Manager Cons →

"In the beginning, the initial setup was very complex.""We have encountered instances where it is not easy to do authentication.""The management console needs to be improved. PingID should revise it.""The timing of the token validity, if it could be extended, would be great. I'm not sure if there is even an option to configure these types of settings.""It has a long way to go until it is a cloud-based solution.""PingID would benefit from a better user interface for integration.""PingID should put a little more effort into making a pretty self-explanatory deck about their tech features and the services they offer.""PingID classifies the type of environment into internal and external, which is an area for improvement because you need to take additional steps to trust internal and external users."

More PingID Cons →

"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net.""It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires.""The user interface is not very user-friendly.""Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time.""Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills.""The mover process for this solution could be improved.""SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine.""What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "Micro Focus is flexible when it comes to price. The cost varies from customer to customer. There are no additional costs, though. Everything is included."
  • "The price of the solution is a bit high and could be reduced."
  • "It would easily help them in getting more market and more customers if more consultants knew about their software. If they could keep it free for schools for teaching purposes, it would be good. I had to pay myself to get it and use it for training. Their competitors are giving it for free. I had to pay for it myself. They are losing market to their competitors."
  • "The solution is quite affordable."
  • "I would rate the pricing a two out of ten, with one being low price and ten being high price. It is significantly more cost-effective than the major players in the market."

  • "SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

  • "The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
