We performed a comparison between One Identity Active Roles and VMware Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about SailPoint, One Identity, Omada and others in User Provisioning Software."In comparison to native Active Directory tools, using Active Roles for delegation is so much better. It uses an access template and that makes it easy to see who can access what. In fact, you can do that for many objects as well."
"It's valuable to us in that it resembles the native tools that most people have grown accustomed to... Active Roles resembles traditional tools, such as from Microsoft. That is really good because it eases the way people interact with the tool."
"Having a tool to manage all changes to AD from a single pane of glass is awesome."
"Secure access is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features include auditing, dynamic grouping, and creating dynamic groups based on AD attributes."
"The solution is stable."
"The provisioning and deprovisioning saves a lot of time and skips a lot of errors."
"It provides automatic provisioning/update/deprovisioning workflows from a source system to a target system."
"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."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"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."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"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 was easy to deploy."
"For the AAD management feature, it needs to improve the objects that we can manage and the security."
"Most of the time it just works."
"There are some features that we think should be included in their next release. We think these things would take them to the next level: the ability to completely force or limit any dynamic group processing to specific servers, change-tracking reporting of virtual attributes, and the ability to use files as inputs to automation workloads. These things have also been talked about. Knowing them, they're probably working on them."
"The solution needs an attestation process that includes certification and recertification attestation."
"The way you can search groups could be better."
"The ability to send logs to a SIEM would be very beneficial."
"For ActiveRoles, it would be good if the product supports multi-scripting language. You can use only VBScript."
"The third area for improvement, which is the weakest portion of ARS, is the workflow engine, which was introduced a few years ago. It's slow and not very intuitive to use, so I would like to see improvement there."
"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."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"The license could be better."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
