While this product can work for different sizes of companies, if you've only got simple requirements, maybe you need to go rather look into a cloud service that offers something similar, like Okta or Ping. However, if you've going to have to implement single sign-on and multi-factor authentication for a number of applications, I would go with something like NetIQ Access Manager. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. There aren't any glaring issues with the product. As time has progressed, they've continued to modify it. It's a very mature product.

I would recommend NetIQ Access Manager. It is a very, very good alternative to Microsoft. Micro Focus is very big and offers good technical services. The solution is very good. It is fast and simple to operate and has very good production time to market. On a scale of one to ten, I would give NetIQ Access Manager an eight. Learning this product takes time and effort so the training process is very time consuming.
I would recommend using the solution, but for this type of product, you have to make sure that you know your needs. You need to run a study about your business needs, just to make sure this is suitable. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
