User Testimonials
	F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)	OpenText Identity and Access Management
Likelihood to Recommend	F5 I think that the platform is well suited to many Remote Access VPN solutions, but I also think there is a lot of room for improvement on the backend. If you are hoping to deploy your APM solution across many different datacenters or colos, it may not be the best choice for the final solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText Suited for complex identity journeys involving multiple identity constituents like customers, employees, extended enterprise users (e.g., agents, partners, vendors). OpenText Identity and Access Management (IAM) Platform, formerly Covisint, is not suited for on-premises-based IAM implementations. GP Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review
Pros	F5 SAML 2.0 identity federation support. Integrates with third-party SSO solutions. Bridging modern authentication and authorization (SAML, OAuth/OIDC) and classic authentication and authorization methods. Policy routing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText Good personnel/team Small company type customer service gives ease of access and sense of urgency BL Brian LasALA director Read full review
Cons	F5 UI/UX can be quick and modern. The application hosting is not one-click. You cannot observer the changes done for external users internally. Incentivized Mohammed Younus Siddiqui Load Balancer Administrator Read full review	OpenText Additional automation capabilities on the platform More configuration-driven approach Passwordless authentication GP Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review
Usability	F5 No answers on this topic	OpenText Product needs high level of customization to compete with other products in this space. BL Brian LasALA director Read full review
Support Rating	F5 No answers on this topic	OpenText Dedicated customer success manager and deployment manager 1-800-like 24/7 support Very responsive technical team GP Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review
Alternatives Considered	F5 It is open platform so support is not good and than F5 and features visibility as not good as F5. F5 Set up and easy to use to admin console. Also have more feature visibility for load balancing, web server accelerator, application server ddos protection and WAF. F5 more efficient to handle concurrent request. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	OpenText OKTA Oracle Cloud Based Identity Platforms Salesforce IAM We did an open RFP and technology bakeoff for all providers, which including advanced IoT use cases, delegated admin use cases, and multiple password policy (13 independent use cases) in a two-week window. We were looking for configuration vs. customization capabilities inherent in the platforms. OpenText Identity and Access Management (IAM) Platform was the only provider that completed all the uses cases and provided a demo GP Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review
Return on Investment	F5 Great VPN Solution during Covid Excellent for remote access related service control and management Reasonable ROI, since it is slightly expensive Incentivized Mubeen Akhtar Senior Cybersecurity Engineer Read full review	OpenText Support team has excelled and exceeded expectations Team has been nimble and flexible Costs continue to accelerate on lack of product featrures BL Brian LasALA director Read full review
