Initial setup was a bit complex because we needed to implement lots of workflows.
Self-service Workflow building Audit For the time when we have to implement re-certification for special accounts this was the best for our requirements. It would be better to have a PowerShell connector Documentation can be improved Performance tuning should be better I have been working on…

Ease of configuration is the most valuable feature.
The engine is getting a bit long in the tooth, the UI should be redone to be a bit more modern and flexible. The software has been running pretty much on the same UI for a long time. The self-service UI was not a good enough improvement due to the "self-only" part. Lately there's been improvement, but other vendors seem to have much slicker UIs. Users want wizard-like UIs nowadays (in my experience). They don't want to navigate endless menus and selections. The engine is still the same clump of Java it was long ago as Enrole. But now it's a notably larger collection of extensions, and IBM has it reasonably documented. When done correctly, customizations are stable, but when done incorrectly they may cause hangs in the database that are difficult to resolve. Outside of that, the Adapter Development Tool (ADT), an old and (officially) unsupported tool made and maintained by an IBMer seems to no longer be maintained. A lot of people used this tool to create customized adapters for ITIM, expanding it further than IBM ever could. Now it seems all gone.
