Harshul Nayak

Senior Project Manager at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

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.

Trainer/Consultant at Koenig Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

Effective product tracking and monitoring enhances daily operations despite needing documentation improvement

The documentation part of Workspace ONE UEM can be confusing. The documentation is not comprehensive compared to other VMware solutions or Microsoft documentation. Most people struggle to connect the dots when looking at the documentation. Even the training material and PowerPoint slide decks that trainers use are sometimes too confusing or overwhelming, with too much content but not enough clarity. The support side has recently become weaker compared to what it used to be with VMware. This is another area that needs improvement. Since working with Workspace ONE UEM from when it was AirWatch, it has improved significantly over the last five years. However, there are still some gray areas and scope for improvement, especially in documentation and workflow between different aspects of the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the security, in particular, the One Time Password support."

"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."

"With the tool in place, you need to hire fewer people to provide access, and you have control over your processes."

"RSA Identity Governance and lifecycles are good for the access certification and auditing sections."

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

"The user interface is very friendly and easy to use, making it a good product overall."

"It's all about centralizing your data and making sure that your data is centralized and secure."

"The most valuable feature is policy-driven control of the devices."

"The product offers integration capabilities with third-party solutions."

"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."

"The most valuable feature is the interface with SCAP, which is the Security Content Automation Protocol."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the tracking of the devices."

"The location and remote management services are the most valuable."

Cons

"Every connector that you have in the product needs to be custom-built, so there are not a lot of standard connectors available in the product, because of which there are a lot of hidden consultancy costs."

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

"Technical support in Pakistan can be improved."

"The user interface and workflow need improvement, and more connectors would help."

"If you use the appliance version then it won't handle a huge database volume."

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

"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."

"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."

"The license could be better."

"The initial setup should be simplified."

"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."

"Lacks a modern enterprise mobility management platform."

"The product's initial setup phase was quite complex."

"There is a need for better user lifecycle management within VMware Identity Manager, along with better user governance...The scalability of the product needs to improve."

"There is no Apple zero-day support for updates."

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."

"For big users, it's around $500."

"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."

"The solution runs at roughly around $36/user for a year."

"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."

"AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month. Microsoft bundles everything, and then that bundling makes the product free for the customers."

"The solution can be costly when the customer is dealing with multiple platforms. If a customer is only dealing with iOS, Windows, and Android then Intune is the better choice because there are free licenses."

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

"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."

Reviews from Real Users

Below is some feedback from our PeerSpot users who are currently using the solution:

PeerSpot user Patrick B., Cybersecurity Architect at a tech services company, says, "Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."

Roshan T., Partner Manager North America at a tech company, mentions how satisfied he is with the product, saying, "You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
