Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Forcepoint, Broadcom and others in Data Loss Prevention (DLP)."Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system."
"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The most valuable feature is the User Experience Designer, which has been very helpful for our project."
"The solution is stable."
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"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."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"The product is very complicated."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"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."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"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 license could be better."
