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."User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"The most valuable feature is single sign-on."
"When we publish the applications, getting the credentials to log in and keep the application up or running is easy."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"The most valuable features in VMware Identity Manager for me are the control groups and rules."
"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 was easy to deploy."
"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."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."
"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."
"I would like better integration for deploying programs with binary files."
"We have a lot of problems when it comes to integrating with Active Directory."
"The security features could always use improvement, although there has already been a huge improvement from years ago."
"I would like to have better support for multi-cloud sessions."
"The database gets corrupted when used in the cluster. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
"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."
