Featured Reviews

SarojMohapatra - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good session monitoring and recording features
Some options are required in the tool, especially to help in scenarios where if a user's ID gets locked, that person cannot unlock the ID from ARCON Privileged Access Management. Even the technical team in my company cannot unlock any locked ID with the help of the tool. Even if there is an admin password, ARCON Privileged Access Management releases it using its functionalities, allowing users to generate a password during an emergency. If an ID gets locked, the tool cannot unlock it, making it an area where improvements are required.
Vladislav Shapiro - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a more comprehensive and streamlined view of user identities and access
One of the most valuable features is the ability for business people to input their knowledge about business processes directly into the product. It's a good tool for anyone familiar with business or technical administration. The shopping cart capability for requests and the catalog features were also initially valuable. It's the best product for providing an enterprise view of logically disconnected SAP accounts. Sometimes, it's doing better than the SAP IG, which probably got discontinued or will be. One Identity Manager helps us connect SAP accounts to employee identities under governance. It is critical because there's no such thing as just SAP, and you want to centralize. You have Active Directory, SAP, and all the cloud applications. Every product has its user accounts, and One Identity allows you to connect them all in one place. One Identity Manager provides IGA for the more difficult-to-manage aspects of SAP. It lets you do many different things and go as deep as you want. The solution has a whole library of specialized SAP workflows for provisioning. You can build a customized web interface that you can do whatever you want with. The out-of-the-box interface for administrators or anybody else can take a little time to understand. It depends on the user's maturity. You must understand what's happening before touching the product. If you have experience using Identity Manager or similar tools, it's highly intuitive. It has so many features that it takes time to adopt, but that's not because it's difficult. The business roles are fundamental to role-based access controls. If you don't know how to build roles, it's very hard to do. One of the advantages of this particular product is that you don't have to be a technical person to build the role. You can log in as a business owner with a newly created project and add entitlements, users, or criteria. You can do it manually or using a formula. It's easy to do without any code.
