User Testimonials
	OpenText Identity and Access Management	RedShelf
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review	RedShelf RedShelf has been great in a higher ed environment to help connect students to textbook and publisher materials. It has helped make the process of purchasing/accessing those materials so much easier for students. I am at an institution now where we don't have RedShelf, and the faculty and students are regularly frustrated with this process, so I'll be looking to get us a license here soon. RedShelf is particularly useful if instructors are using various different types of materials from different publishers. However, if an institution was only using Cengage Unlimited for example (that is a service where students will just pay for access to that site and all the books/materials for all of their courses would be accessible on there), that would be a time where I would think RedShelf wouldn't provide you with as much benefit. That being said, we may be using RedShelf in a very specific manner, and it may be able to provide us more ability/features that we haven't taken full advantage of.

Pros	OpenText Good personnel/team Small company type customer service gives ease of access and sense of urgency Brian LasALA director Read full review	RedShelf Provides access with or without internet connection to read your books. You can access the application from your mobile device, tablets, or desktop computers. Streamlines the distribution of e-books, e-textbooks, and other digital content.

Cons	OpenText Additional automation capabilities on the platform More configuration-driven approach Passwordless authentication Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review	RedShelf Waiting for a course management tool to streamline the process. It's in the works and a tall order since all clients approach the process differently. A little bit of a stumble with a recent software rollout for day one access roll out, but at least it was intuitive to work through Incentivized Meredith Schreiber Director Bookstore and Auxiliary Services Read full review

Alternatives Considered	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 Gopal Padinjaruveetil CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) Read full review	RedShelf I don't believe I'd used many products that are similar to RedShelf.
