Featured Reviews

Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.
Joel Amate - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."
"IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability."
"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"The support is very good."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"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."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"We find it to be reliable."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"VMware Workspace ONE has been stable so far."
"The solution's Self-Service feature is valuable because it gives a single managed application that users can download and use based on their preferences and productivity."
"We've configured single sign-on for two or three enterprise customers, and it works very well."
"The Client Control feature in VMware Workspace ONE is most valuable for managing client devices, including mobile devices and laptops. Another impactful feature is the per-service tooling, allowing access to the data centre on a per-application basis. We use the complete VMware stack, integrating Horizon for application delivery and Carbon Black for endpoint protection. We have outsourced our device management, which streamlines our IT tasks as our supplier handles them competitively."
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"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."
"The initial setup should be simplified."
"One thing VMware needs to improve is compatibility with different operating systems."
"We'd like more useful support."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"Windows 10 management is there, but VMware only recently developed that part, and it's not fully mature. Patch management and other integrations are there as well as the application-pushing part, command line, mandatory commands, etc. Some out-of-the-box solutions should be available to better integrate a broader range of applications and handle application push. That's the roadmap we should look at."
"Feature-wise, it is fine, but its pricing could be better, given that Microsoft is on a bundling spree. AirWatch would benefit from reducing the license pricing per user per month."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It is affordable licensing."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"VMware Workspace ONE is not cheap; it's quite expensive. However, in the end, they gave us a reasonable price."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"I think that the price is reasonable."
"The solution is more expensive than Intune."
"Its pricing was okay for our company."
"All licenses from VMware are only yearly. They start with a yearly license and look for a three-year commitment and yearly PO."
"While it is not inexpensive in terms of price, it is definitely worth it."
"The tool is expensive."
