A mature, capable solution that should be available as a cloud solution
They haven't really evolved the product to the cloud, so they don't have a cloud solution. It's just deployable in the cloud, so in some cases that holds them back in a competitive situation. I don't know if they're intent on taking their solution to the cloud, but if they do, that would be one improvement. It would allow them to be competitive down market in medium to small enterprises. I don't know if they care to address that market or not because it doesn't seem like they've made that move, but that would be one way for them to do that. As for additional features, I would suggest stronger integration. I think enabling more universal industry standard integrations would probably help them with different applications.

Journey orchestration has improved fraud prevention but still needs shared rules and better usability
The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application. There is no common place where you can write the rules and use that rule for all your applications, which is missing. This is a big feature that is missing compared to the other products in the market. Additionally, the SDKs, Journey Player, and other components are not business-friendly, so you really have to be technical to get into it and do those things. A non-technical person would find it really hard to implement and learn things inside Transmit Security. Even though it requires less coding, you still have to have some technical people in your team to really write the rules and integrate those rules into your application.

Pros

"NetIQ Identity Governance helps to prepare audits and to be audit ready every time."
"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."
"All three functionalities, access certification, the configuration of duties, and role mining - especially role mining - are very advanced compared with the competition."
"Anytime an IGA solution is implemented effectively, there is a huge return on investment."
"We’re very satisfied with technical support; usually we get people with the right knowledge who understand the solution very well."
"I really like the separation of the duties."
"This solution has been around for a long time. It has had lots of successful deployments and releases."
"I like the queries and find the catalog to be comparatively powerful."
"Transmit Security has impacted my organization positively because it is reassuring to know that we are building on top of a trusted tool, and we do not rely on developers that could make mistakes, and because it is an authentication platform, that could be detrimental."
"Transmit Security has positively impacted my organization by improving the development of workflows in order to help the user experience."
"Transmit Security has played a major role for our organization, especially in the authentication areas."
"Transmit interface is flexible and user-friendly, which is important for our workload. Switching from one authentication code to multiple exposure or two-factor authentication (MFA) is seamless."
 

Cons

"Both products are separate with connectors between each other, which is a disadvantage as they were both developed by the same vendor."
"With NetIQ, you have to install two or more products. It would be better if we could install one product and have one server and one dashboard."
"We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."
"The installation process can be improved. The Workflow Designer interface can be improved as well."
"The initial setup has room for improvement."
"The solution should provide more connectors in future releases. The solution also should offer more monitoring."
"Some out-of-the-box connectors are still missing. We need more connectors to cloud applications like AWS."
"The product could use more advanced features related to Identity Intelligence."
"The customer support varies, but overall, we are satisfied."
"The main improvement needed is that with the tool, you have to build rules for each and every application."
"The scalability of Transmit Security is a little bit tricky. It is not easy to scale and depends on the complexity of my workflows and how many users I am going to support."
"Pricing is an area where Transmit Security could improve. The pricing needs to be more competitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, the tool seems a bit cheaper compared to other SaaS solutions."
"I give the cost a nine out of ten."
"It's expensive relative to the cloud solutions that are out there."
