I think we have some features in the tool. My company is not certified when it comes to Microsoft Identity Manager. The tool's only feature that is generating value for us is the login process for our clients. When employees want to open an application, Microsoft Identity Manager has to verify the identity and then grant access to the application. I know Microsoft Identity Manager has a lot of features, but there are only specific capabilities of the tool we need.

The initial setup for Microsoft Identity Manager is quite straightforward. It comes with a default configuration, and you can start using it right away. You don't have to implement anything from scratch. Instead, you can enhance it by defining new policies to meet your organization's specific needs. It is a user-friendly process, and you can get it up and running without a lot of complex implementation steps. Setting up Microsoft Identity Manager usually takes a few hours for the basics. However, the total time can vary a lot. If your company already has clear policies, it's quick. But if you need to create new policies, it can take longer. The time needed depends on how well your company's policies are defined and how fast you can integrate the solution with them.

Valuable Features

"The tool's only feature that is generating value for us is the login process for our clients."
"The self-service password reset feature is a very important aspect because it reduces the workload of other employees, and it's a very interesting and often-used feature."
"The most crucial feature of Microsoft Identity Manager is integration, especially with Office 365. A specific scenario where automation provided by the identity manager was crucial is when customers use hybrid clouds, with resources both locally and in the cloud. They require an easy identity solution across workspaces, local and cloud, integrating cloud identity with local identity sources, supporting single sign-on and authorizations, and ensuring security across applications.Microsoft Identity Manager integrates such local and cloud identity sources, supporting numerous applications."

Room for Improvement

"The product's setup phase was difficult."
"The documentation could be better."
"Microsoft Identity Manager has shown a strong focus on cloud solutions, but it could improve its support for legacy products and on-premise infrastructure. Legacy applications or solutions are often not fully supported, which can be a limitation for customers with existing on-premise setups. The emphasis on cloud-based solutions is beneficial for modernization as it is crucial to address customers' needs relying on legacy systems. Microsoft should address the gap in support for legacy products to ensure a more comprehensive and inclusive approach."

Pricing

"The tool's price is low for my company."
"My rating for the pricing of Microsoft Identity Manager is average, neither too expensive nor too cheap."
"The solution is expensive."
