Identity management enhances connectivity and productivity with streamlined access and robust security, offering time-saving processes and facilitating seamless integration with other BI tools

One area that could be improved with SAP Identity Management, other than support, is user engagement from an implementation perspective. It would be beneficial for SAP to extend their events and workshops that are currently performed for partners to their final customers, as many customers want to know what's new and what else they can do without solely depending on the partners. For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers. The support could be improved for the specific needs in Brazil, as many customers have difficulty accessing the support center due to the language barrier. This feedback is specific to Brazil, though it's unclear if SAP receives similar feedback from other countries. It could certainly be enhanced with Portuguese documents, among other improvements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It has allowed us to have a central system for handling security profiles for all users on different target systems e.g. Oracle, Unix, and Active Directory."

"With SAP IDM we have stopped manually managing all changes in user accounts after his/her transferring between organizational units."

"Some processes that they used to perform in two to three days now take one to two hours, which has been really beneficial for them regarding the time saved."

"The setup process is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is the user experience for managing information."

"The tool's most valuable features are its access control and approval of access requests. The self-service password reset feature is efficient. Role management capabilities streamline user access by assigning and revoking roles."

"There is definitely ROI because we use this as our enterprise-wide SSO solution."

"Rather than implement a basic SSO, this solution assisted us with setting up two-factor authentication."

Cons

"This product launches a request to add or remove accesses on different target systems but it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested."

"I believe they could make a lot of improvements on SAP IDM. There is also a lack of startup connectors to different systems, and they could have better cloud integration connectors for SAP IDM."

"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."

"There are also some issues with the UI, the ACLs and performance - depending on the configuration and Identity DB size."

"For SAP support in Brazil, everything is in English, which poses a difficulty for many customers."

"I have encountered issues with the host authentication feature."

"I find SAP Identity Management complicated to use. Maintaining it is also complex."

"The product needs better UI customization and the administration console is outdated in this version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"When evaluating the price of any product, I first look at how it meets my business requirements and if it meets requirements adequately and predictively. Currently, I don't see this from SAP Identity Management, so pricing for it is expensive, in my opinion."

"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."

"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
