Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use SAP Identity Management to log in to SAP Platforms such as SAP SuccessFactors, SAC, and SAP BTP.
The products place the identity management in just one place.

Pros

  • Conditional authentication
  • Data replication between SAP products
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • More flexibility for email triggers
  • Easier way to edit emails, maybe a email editor in the platform would be helpful
  • More possibility of customization for the login screen, maybe build more documentarion around that
  • Easier way to connect with non SAP Tools on SAP IPS

Return on Investment

  • Overall I don't feel there where clear gains. Most of the reason to use was due to it becoming mandatory to keep using sap products.

SAP IDM: A Robust Solution For Identity Management

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
