Likelihood to Recommend BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access is well suited to grand monitored privileged access to resources. It works in a proxy mode so end-users don't have direct access to servers. This can help prevent attacks on servers from users' machines since all the traffic to the servers goes through the Privileged Remote Access server which performs auth according to the policies. In cases where direct access to the servers/service from the end-user's machine is required, it is a little bit complicated to set up that kind of connection using protocol tunneling.

Read full review In my previous organization, to achieve the granularity of access based on organization restrictions, we implemented enabler role-based security roles. Provisioning the enabler roles through the SAP GRC was a great challenge (realistically improbable). Here came the SAP IDM to our rescue. It has a peculiar feature of context-based business role provisioning feature. Customized context & its association with security roles & user HR attributes, give us unique ability to achieve granularity of access provisioning. SAP IDM integrates with the SAP HR system and identity management becomes automatic.

1. Conventional SAP user administration solution like CUA has great limitations. e.g. only SAP systems can be managed. Low-performance issues, unreliable access provisioning, and risk analysis were missing.
2. SAP IDM integrates with SAP GRC solution to perform the reliable risk analysis before access provisioning. Its context feature allows granular access provisioning.

As all identities are managed centrally, there is very little room for manipulation of an identity. As this solution has the ability to integrate with SAP GRC, risk analysis becomes mandatory before any access provisioning takes place. As the solution is automatic, hiring to employee exits is managed with a minimal margin of error. Read full review ScreenShots
