Mitch MO - PeerSpot reviewer
Adapts workflows with industry-specific flexibility for big companies
We find flexibility to be one of the most valuable features. The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility. Additionally, it is considered a good solution for large companies due to its scalability and ability to cater to the needs of many customers. It has also enhanced security and provided significant flexibility for our specifications module.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
 

Cons

"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"Technical support can be improved."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
