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.

"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."

"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."

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

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

Cons

"I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."

"I would like to see Gigya implement additional disaster recovery systems."

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

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

"The pricing could be better."

"SAP Identity Management can improve risk analysis and authority checks."

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

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

"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."

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

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."
