Allows for large customization. Needs to provide a detailed solution document.
Pros and Cons
  • "Quest One IDM allows for large customization."
  • "Quest Software should provide notes and documents to customers before they buy the product and license."

What is our primary use case?

This was for customers identity management, where there were a huge number of domains and the customer had unnecessarily complicated the system with a lot of parameters and attributes. 

How has it helped my organization?

Larger customization has made the system complex and confusing. The people who deployed it initially did little to document it. This has had a negative, delayed impact on the overall project and solution. 

The good part is Quest One IDM allows for large customization.

What is most valuable?

  • Separated modules and integration allow for more capabilities 
  • Graphical and tabular interfaces
  • VB and SQL front-end and back-end

What needs improvement?

A detailed solution document to registered aspirants and interested people would help them achieve what they require before its tested and pushed to production. Quest Software should provide notes and documents to customers before they buy the product and license.
