We performed a comparison between SailPoint IdentityIQ and VMware Identity Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"It is a scalable product."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"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 solution was easy to deploy."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"Zero Trust implementation is a great feature."
"Its value is when you use it with a Workspace ONE UEM solution as it is part of the ecosystem for VMware Workspace ONE."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"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 mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
"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."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"The license could be better."
"There are a lot of difficulties whenever people have a lot of configurations in it, basically related to security certificate configurations and integration with VMware Horizon."
