VMware Identity Manager is a part of VMware Horizon, which is utilized to manage users. I was previously an employee of VMware. I continued using products from VMware, even in HP, Accops, and Novel.

Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers.

I use VMware Identity Manager to make it easy for clients to access apps with one login.

We use the solution with Horizon to set up VRA for new solutions.

A user can leverage the solution if they basically want to integrate the system with two-factor authentication or multifactor authentication to access desktops and sessions. 

Users also leverage the access portal from a remote host and gain access to the system.

It's a SIEM solution. It's a solution used to manage the identity of the users. It also makes a federation for the data applications and gives access to the users, and provisions the users in other applications, including SaaS applications (for example, Microsoft 365, SoundDesk, or Salesforce). 

We use it to provide the users a smooth authentication to the applications with, for example, mobile, or a log in with a certificate from the Windows machines.

Our use case of this solution is for the Zero Trust feature; when anyone from the company logs in, the authentication goes through VMware Access and checks that only devices owned by our company can access all their source and on-premise applications. I'm CEO of the company. 

At the time, our primary use case was for the purpose of having single authentication around endpoints. Every single endpoint was managed by Workspace ONE: iOS, Android devices, and Windows standard devices. We were provisioning payloads. We had a trust relationship between Workspace ONE and the vIDM console, and we were handling certificates around those, to provide seamless certification. In the end, a user with specific applications wouldn't be required to type in any username, password, etc. 

vIDM was a SaaS-based solution, at the time, where you had the vIDM connectors in case you were required to have LDAP Synchronization. It was completely on a dedicated cloud from VMware. 

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

Our customers use it as a single catalog for all of the resources. 

We have used the solution to deploy for corporate organizations and also for complex networks.

I am the CEO of our company and we implemented VMware to help our users when they go to different source applications. We wanted that to be easier for them.

I use this solution as a single sign-on, and I can join other domains in my environment. You can also get permission from the users to access something from my desktop or portable.
