It improved the access re-certification however there is no way to clone or copy policies during deployment.

What is most valuable?

It is a big repository of identities, allowing administrators to manage them and their accounts. Workflow approvals e-user/accounts operations is very important for user life cycle.

How has it helped my organization?

It improved the access re-certification. Re-certification was deployed using Excel and took too long too be completed. Using TIM, this time was reduced.

For how long have I used the solution?

Five years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

There is no way to clone or copy policies. If I have to create 100 re-certification policies, I need to create one by one or use Tivoli Directory Integrator, that is a big effort to do it.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues encountered.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

5 out of 10.

Technical Support:

9 out of 10.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

No previous solution used.

How was the initial setup?

It is complex. All IDM projects need to create processes before deploying the solution.

What about the implementation team?

I was the consultant.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I think Oracle is a good option.

What other advice do I have?

Create user life cycle processes.

The issue in ITIM buses is mainly due to the any network glitch between WAS and Database server, which blocks all the requests from ITIM. And ITIM keep blocking all new requests till the time previous requests have not been cleared from WAS which is present in the form of Translog ( from all the servers of the clustered nodes). Whole process requires complete restart of WAS servers and ITIM Database. This is more frequent issue in Windows environment than Linux\Unix environment. IBM should look into this as it is known issue and should provide some permanent fix for this.
