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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP CDC is very easy to use and the best part about this tool is its documentation."
"It has enhanced the security and customer satisfaction of our customers."
"In our first year using the product we were able to save over double the cost of the product in vendor and maintenance fees."
"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."
"IBM really gives you the power to implement a lot of functionality outside the current implementation if you know how to build the functionality you want."
"With SAP IDM we have stopped manually managing all changes in user accounts after his/her transferring between organizational units."
"I find it an excellent tool for data synchronization and cleansing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would like to see Gigya implement additional disaster recovery systems."
"The user access and authorization features need to be improved. I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
"I have struggled to give different access to different users in the same application."
"A lack of startup connectors to different systems, and could have better connectors for SAP IDM."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"The current functionality allows you only to change one user at a time. There is no option to maintain the business roles from the UI using standard validation or imports, so you have to build your business roles one by one."
"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."
"The product needs better UI customization and the administration console is outdated in this version."
"It needs to have the SSO for the HANA modules that SAP is releasing."
"There are also some issues with the UI, the ACLs and performance - depending on the configuration and Identity DB size."
"Research and marketing need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the solution's pricing a four out of ten."
"The licensing cost varies depending on the specific requirements and deployment size."
"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."
