Forefront Identity Manager (Discontinued) vs. SAP Identity Management

I think that MIM is great for compliance since it reduces the number of logins that are required by users. Most offices have post-it notes with logins floating around because there are so many to remember or there are "shared" logins. This reduces the number of logins to 1 and you can easily revoke access in one fell swoop. This prevents gaps and holes with terminations and updates to select groups are super simple.

SAP Identity Management manages organization identities centrally with a great amount of flexibility and efficiency. Compared to the conventional SAP solution of central user administration (CUA), SAP IDM (version 7.2/8.0) delivers a great number of benefits like: 1. Availability of connectors for non-SAP application identity management,

2. Modular/granular access management in the form of context-based business role definition.

3. It can be integrated with the SAP HR system for making entire user identity management automatic.

• 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.

• For Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers is a great tool to set a codeless provisioning over new objects.
• Can easily integrate with Active Directory and Exchange Servers, improving the identity sync between the final user and the lifecycle management.
• Improvements in the areas of performance, simplified deployment easing the troubleshooting tasks, better documentation knowledge base, and more language support.
• The codeless provisioning provided in FIM can sustain a variety from high demand to mid-size scenarios for account lifecycle management.

• SAP Identity management should come up with connectors for almost all not SAP applications, which will enable the use of SAP IDM as a one-stop solution for organizations' identity management.

Overall it's a easy to use tool. But lacks proper debuging capabilities when errors occur.

• We see a positive impact simply in the time savings alone. Chasing accounts around is time-consuming and prone to error.
• The cost to us is negligible to the value it provides.

• SAP IDM has the huge potential to minimize risks arising out of disorganized identity management within an organization. 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.
