IBM
Verify protects our on-premises resources and some of our cloud-based ones, too. We've used SSO with several apps without issues. MFA was the main driver for us, and Verify was found to be a good fit for our needs, enabling our end users to access resources securely. This facility helped us build cyber assurance with our stakeholders.

ADManager is perfectly suited for reducing the human error in account creation. The templates I needed to create for this were easy and I was done within a couple of days. I am happy to sign that account creation errors has been near zero since the roll out of this application. I look forward to using more of its functionality

Cons
IBM
  • The mobile app can be a bit buggy at times if it gets fixed it would be great.
  • UI seems a bit old compared to modern tools out there.
  • There is a bit of a learning curve; if the developers can make it more intuitive it would be awesome.

  • Reports can be hard to get what you need...sometimes they include fields that you don't need.
  • The automation feature broke after an update and our complex automations stopped working.

Usability
IBM
While setup and implementation takes work and time, the flexibility and possibilities make up for that in the long run. This is not a product you can just install and run, but if you design and implement your ruleset well, it will save you a lot of work afterwards. Just make sure that the systems you want to use it for have an existing and proven connector.

Reliability and Availability
IBM
It is almost always available. they do updates at night, minimizing the effect of upgrades. It is always around, it is just old and maybe needs to start from scratch to get a better product for nowadays. It is almost always available during business hours when you need it. for 24/7 companies it may be more difficult to time the upgrades so that it does not affect your work.

We evaluated Oracle Identity Manager and were ready to move ahead with the purchase plan, but then found that IBM addressed the needs of our company in a more robust fashion. The price was significantly higher, yet in the grand scheme of things, the safety of both our data and the data of our clients was the most important criteria.

We did not research any other applications. ADManager Plus was the first that appeared in our search. After a demo with their sales team, it was apparent that this was the application we wanted. The price was perfect too. We ordered it right away and implemented it within a couple of weeks.

The licensing terms were favourable due to their flexibility based on the size and purpose of implementation. The billing frequency is done on quarterly basis. The vendor team has enacted best user policies that gives the company the full control of this platform. It is cost-effective as compared to most security verification tools in the market.

Professional Services
IBM
In the case of adjustments, we were often able to carry them out completely on our own and only used professional services for new requirements. Particularly in the case of access management, it is very positive that we usually needed IBM for a task in less than an hour and then developed the solution further on our own.

Return on Investment
IBM
  • Very much secured to the business as it provides granular level of configuration as far as authentication and authorization is concerned.
  • Works as a reverse Proxy so totally hides the backend application from anonymous access
  • It needs professional to install and manage it. It takes time to implement right set of policies but once setup as per requirement it will do its job
