Streamline identity lifecycle management with intuitive interfaces and robust policy features

The functions of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle, especially the IGA, are quite strong with their custom forms and workflows integrated. The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall. However, it still has to be on-premise and the cloud version is not easily accessible, as dedicated instances are required and machines cannot be shared as multi-tenant for various customers. The advanced policy features of RSA definitely help in defining certain policies such as segregation of duties. That's particularly useful along with creating different access reviews. Regarding access control in simplifying access management, RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle has strong foundations of groups and roles, which help in defining all policies very easily. This makes it very easy to integrate with other access management tools or privileged access management tools.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The data collection is excellent and easy to do."

"Customer service was always exceptional and if we needed to call the regular customer support number for administrative tasks on the account, they were always helpful and resolved our cases within a few days."

"Soft and hard tokens for two factor authentication has been introduced."

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."

"The data collection is excellent and easy to do. It does not require a lot of configuration nor does it require rules to be written like other competitors do."

"It improved security."

"Roles, connectors for provisioning and re-accreditation or reviews help greatly to govern user access."

"Never - one thing I can say about RSA is that the boxes are stable and solid."

More RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle pros

"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."

"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."

Cons

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"Application and appliance stability needs improvement."

"The stability of RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve; it has some bugs that need to be fixed."

"This product is missing a lot of features which other competitors are providing. One of the key features that are missing right now is risk scoring. Additionally, there is not much scope for customization - everything is hard-coded and predefined, so it does not allow the developers to make many modifications."

"It was expensive initially, but day to day costs are minimal."

"RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle could improve out-of-the-box customization."

"There are scalability issues. This product does not scale very well. It is not a good product for load balancing / active–active architecture."

"We were excited that the self-provision feature was now built into the box but disappointed at the implementation."

More RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle cons

"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."

"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"We are using the cloud platform, but we don't find it compatible to be served as a multi-tenant platform. This is a large drawback. It becomes expensive because it is then an all-dedicated solution. You have to have a separate tenant for each client, which increases the cost. The overall unit pricing can be less expensive than how it is right now."

"Pricing varies based on user count/number of modules you need."
