IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] vs SAP Identity Management comparison

"It is a single product that caters for all the business needs throughout the organization."

"It is a good solution for anyone to take to their enterprise and get a buy in."

"What's most valuable in SAP Identity Management is that it's easily an out-of-the-box solution for connectivity with SAP applications. We do not have to do any customizations, and this makes the solution very compatible with most SAP applications. SAP Identity Management is also very user-friendly."

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

"NW IDM is extremely flexible, and with a small amount of effort you can integrate the basic provisioning for most of the commonly used modern systems."

"The product has not been updated with emerging technologies over the years specifically around AJAX, REST and Mobile app integration."

"Looking at their roadmap, they have a broad grasp of the security features which the industry needs."

"An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for the newer appliance versions for hosting the virtual appliances on AWS will help."

"The license model is pretty complex."

"The product needs better UI customization and the administration console is outdated in this version."

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

"Research and marketing need to be improved."

"The standard one is not friendly and very time-consuming for elementary operation."

"The pricing could be better."

"What needs improvement in SAP Identity Management is its compatibility with third-party applications. We'd like to get connectors or plugin settings to make it easier to manage other applications, whether SAP or non SAP applications. As SAP Identity Management is not compatible with non SAP applications, some of the clients are looking for other IDM applications such as SalePoint and Saviynt, so this is an issue we've observed in the solution."

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

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."

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

"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."

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