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

"The integration effort with the end application is quite straightforward and easy."

"Single Sign-On functionality is valuable because the core purpose of the product is to allow universal (or bespoke) SSO for application suites."

"SAML 2.0."

"OAuth 2 is now the de facto standard for API protection and scoped authorized delegation. IBM TAM now supports OAuth 2 and can act as fully compliant OAuth 2 authorization server."

"The Verify feature: A push method which customers are going for."

"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."

"What I found most valuable in SAP Identity Management is process automation. The solution also gives transparency about what is happening and why which I find beneficial. Another feature I found valuable in SAP Identity Management is integration. It has very good integration."

"What I like about SAP Identity Management is that it's stable for experienced users and suitable for access management, not just for SAP accounts, but for Active Directory, including file sharing and process sharing."

"It provides basic automatic user administration and role provisioning to save time."

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

"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 features of SAP Identity Management are business roles and automated user provisioning."

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

"The profiling element is incredibly robust, but also equally as complex, it requires an off-site course to be able to understand the context or the plethora of options available."

"Multi-factor authentication with social integration needs to improve."

"The self-service portal needs improvement."

"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 pricing could be better."

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

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

"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."

"Research and marketing need to be improved."

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

"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."

"One of the areas for improvement in the solution is its user interface which needs to be up-to-date and fancier, in particular, have better visualization in terms of the tabs and buttons. The user interface of SAP Identity Management should be improved based on the latest trends."

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

"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."
