Works
A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM
We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Tivoli Access Manager's proxy product (WebSEAL) is extremely fast."
"It provides good scalability and reliability, not to mention the overall availability of the service."
"Capabilities of advanced security are enhanced to support strong, flexible authentifications and authentications based on risks as well as critical internet vulnerabilities."
"TAM component integration and their SSO capabilities and transparency are the most valuable features I have found."
"Before the solution was implemented it took around 2-3 weeks to get all the necessary account information for a new employee in my organization, and since implementation this now only takes a few minutes."
"Tivoli Access Manger lets you separate security from applications and manage at one place."
"The SSO, URL-based access control, OAuth 2 and OIDC are the most valuable features."
"Since its birth it is an unbelievable stable product."
More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] pros
"The thing we like the most is that this software is so easy to use; you don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"This solution helped us with centralizing our IAM; it was spread out over many places, and now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"By giving users the ability to fully manage their own workspace, while still being able to monitor and administer such actions, we can focus on new-business and projects as we like."
 

Cons

"There is Java process that hangs in WebSphere almost every month."
"The TAMeB policy server is not scalable."
"Older TAM versions are not compatible for connecting to a DB."
"Redundant Policy servers had to be manually configured using LB."
"It was complex for us as we have multiple domains."
"Complex to install and run."
"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."
"What I don’t particularly like is the flow duration."
More IBM Tivoli Access Manager [EOL] cons
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The IBM prices are, as ever, extortionate, even with a business partnership, and high levels of discounts."
"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
