We performed a comparison between SailPoint Identity Security Cloud 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."SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"It is a scalable product."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"The solution was easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"Personally, VMware Identity Manager is useful for comparison purposes so that I can provide better solutions to my company's customers."
"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."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"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 solution is stable."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"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."
"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."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"it's very dependent on an active directory"
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"Many of the features that exist in Active Directory do not exist in Identity Manager, which means that people depend on Active Directory."
"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."
"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."
"The mobile SSO doesn't work as well on Android."
