NetIQ does not have a limit on the number of users. The tool is secure by nature. It can have more than one billion users. Event-based systems know what has to be changed. SQL-based systems can only change using time and date. Event-based systems provide immediate results, while SQL-based systems need time to sync.

It is totally different from a security perspective. Event-based systems can update all the systems in seconds or minutes. Other systems do it within 24 hours. The basic event-based system is AI-driven. It has some kind of robotics and programming. Other tools need programming. I like systems that have prebuilt ideas of security.

NetIQ has been in the market for a long period. It has all the systems and connectors. There is not much coding. We just need to configure the products. We need not do any programming. I haven't seen any other product that needs only configuration to do the job.

Most products in the market are SQL-based. They need programming. Some service providers who sell other products to customers do not sell NetIQ because they can make more money by selling solutions that need more consultancy and programming. More hours lead to more money.

The access request management has improved significantly in terms of its user interface. What sets it apart from competitors like SailPoint is that it's an event-based solution rather than schedule-based. That's a key differentiator.

It also offers self-service capabilities like Access Request Manager platform is self-service. 

Additionally, we use NetIQ's self-service password reset tool, which integrates with the directory leveraged by Identity Manager. So, we utilize self-service for both access request management and password management.

The most valuable feature of NetIQ Identity Manager for identity synchronization is the ability to provide users with all necessary access on day one through automated provisioning, facilitated by approval workflows. Additionally, the ability to remove access through similar automated processes ensures consistency and end-user control across integrated applications.

The product enables detailed user management. The product is easy to use. Our users found it easier than Microsoft Identity Manager.

The most valuable features of NetIQ Identity Manager are the synchronization of different directories, such as Active Directory. We have many Active Directory systems, not only one.

I like the eDirectory feature.

The main value lies in the simplicity of implementation, as well as its customized look and feel.

The most valuable feature of this solution has been the ability for us to integrate a lot of external systems, and the automatic transfer of a lot of identity information. Additionally, the customization is very good.

The Identity Engine is event-based and provides real-time synchronization and password synchronization to more than 40 different applications and services.

The new version 4.8 is now available since mi-November 2019. It provides a newer workflow engine that will increase form creation.

With the latest version, a subset of NetIQ Identity Governance is included.

It's a very flexible tool, so you can synchronize multiple sources of data and you have multiple connections to various kinds of systems.

The most valuable features are that it's a very flexible tool and it's connected to multiple and various data sources.

The most valuable features are Password Reset Alerts, Password Sync, and SQL connectors.

The identity vault, password syncing and self service Password Reset. As seen in another review, I will concur that NetIQ does a good job with password syncing among directories.

Its reliability when it comes to synchronizing directories is the most valuable feature. It is very safe to be based on events.

Designer and Analyzer are very nifty tools to deploy new drivers. Also, the iManager fallback for small configuration changes is very handy, but the feature I like the most is the extremely detailed tracing possibilities.

To my knowledge it is the only event based IDM system. Its supporting directory (eDirectory) also has event based replication. This makes it a very 'real time' system. In short, it is event based and not batch based.

Event driven provisioning and powerful Development and documentation tool - Designer are the most valuable features on NetIQ Identity manager

The Role Based Provisioning Module feature is by far the best thing about the product; using roles and entitlements for access and provisioning makes old group based obsolete.
