The solution is worth using because of its flexibility, especially in integrating applications. However, the time required for integration varies based on the quality of documentation provided for the application. You don't need to maintain servers or operating systems with SaaS, as the vendor handles that. The license might be slightly more expensive, but maintenance costs are lower. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

My advice for those considering this solution is that they should partner with GCA to do it effectively. I would rate this solution as a seven out of ten.
IdentityIQ from Sailpoint is better than NetIQ Identity Governance because it works like one product, whereas all the NetIQ products are separate. With IdentityIQ, you have to install one product, and everything is in the same place. You can do everything with one server and one dashboard, so I prefer the IdentityIQ from Sailpoint to Identity Governance from NetIQ. I would give NetIQ Identity Governance an eight on a scale from one to ten.
I feel NetIQ Identity Governance to be good for discovering accounts through simple implementation. I rate NetIQ Identity Governance as a six out of ten.

We are partners. We are using the latest version of the solution, which may be version 4.5. This solution is a very good first step where you don't need to have all the processes formally defined or all the privileges well assigned. It doesn't matter as it allows you to gain visibility and start deleting the unnecessary privileges and to start erasing accounts or deleting accounts that no longer are necessary. You can do this due to the fact that you can match every identity to the corresponding employee profile. For example, if an account doesn't exist in human resources, then you can delete it as an orphan account easily. It allows our customers or any organization to mature in the path of implementing in a second step, an Identity Manager, which is the second tool that they can add. Once they have the privileges well defined, and they start to formally automate all the processes. How you govern the user life cycle is the second step. We usually suggest clients start with Identity Governance and then continue with Identity Management just to automate. That said, usually, the customers are not mature enough to automate as they don't want to automate something that is badly defined. If you have a mess in your systems, you first have to clean and then automate. Identity Governance is very good for cleaning. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
NetIQ Identity Governance 3.6 is now released and provide new features : - Improved reviewer experience and enhancements for compliance administrator to define and configure review processes. For example, there is now a “Save-as” capability for review definitions. - Ability to review business role definition. Authorized users can conduct periodic and ad-hoc reviews of each business role by requiring a responsible person to review the role’s general information (name, description, etc.), membership criteria, and access authorizations. - Enhanced self-review policy - Enhanced multistage review This release makes it easier to onboard applications into the governance system and includes the following enhancements: - Separates the process of defining an application in the governance system from collecting the data for the application. This enables a business user to drive the process and also includes the ability to collect application information directly from a CMDB system. - Ability to collect the authorization data for multiple applications by defining and running a single Application Data Collector. - Ability to merge manually created application with collected application - Ability to edit application attributes - Ability to add custom attributes to applications
What is identity management (IM)? Identity management (IM), also referred to as identity and access management (IAM), is an organizational process used to securely connect electronic or digital identities with the right levels of access.
