SAP Identity Management manages organization identities centrally with a great amount of flexibility and efficiency. Compared to the conventional SAP solution of central user administration (CUA), SAP IDM (version 7.2/8.0) delivers a great number of benefits like: 1. Availability of connectors for non-SAP application identity management,

2. Modular/granular access management in the form of context-based business role definition.

3. It can be integrated with the SAP HR system for making entire user identity management automatic.

• 1Password's Watchtower service is a real value add - 1Password monitors the security news for evidence of security breaches containing your credentials and alerts you if you have been impacted. That is a huge value as it enables you to get out in front of a security breach and be proactive in protecting yourself.
• 1Password's core strength is that it makes it easy to practice good security hygiene by using strong, unique passwords for each site you interact with. This is something that all password managers do now, but offering an easy experience is key.
• 1Password's password sharing features makes it easy to share team credentials with other team members, and to decide who amongst the team gets access to the designated credentials.

• 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.

• 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
• On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

• 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.

1Password is a great password manager and it helps us a lot in our every day duties at the company. Since implementing this solution we also feel way more secure when it comes to our own data or the data of our Clients.

The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

I haven't had to use the support team since using the product, so that's saying something. But I did reference the FAQs and information materials to help with the initial setup. All in all, I found all of the information and clarity I needed to get set up and begin fully using the platform.

As IDM heavily relies on JAVA/SQL as a development language, finding skills resources sometimes becomes challenging. But SAP has strong support available for this product which makes it reliable for long term use within an organization.

I do have LastPass set up for our front office workers since their free version does fine for managing the few passwords they have. Since that computer is in an area accessed by most of the staff and visible to the public, I didn't want sticky notes with sensitive passwords laying around. The main advantage of that usage is that it does offer a free version, and with so little to manage, the paid 1Password would not be a good value for us there. But it does, of course, have its limitations. The interface is a bit clunky, and we don't have any desktop or mobile versions set up to try to sync with, just the one web browser based version, so I can't speak to the accessibility, but it does not "feel" as robust and easy to use as 1Password.

SAP IDM offers a great deal of benefits/features compared to conventional access provisioning with SAP.

1. Conventional SAP user administration solution like CUA has great limitations. e.g. only SAP systems can be managed. Low-performance issues, unreliable access provisioning, and risk analysis were missing.

2. SAP IDM integrates with SAP GRC solution to perform the reliable risk analysis before access provisioning. Its context feature allows granular access provisioning.

• Our business has over 500 different passwords that are required to log into other websites for billing. Allowing easy login to the different entities saves time and money.
• 1Password encrypts all the passwords, protects them, preventing hackers from obtaining all of the information and causing disruption to the business.
• Having multi-users save time and money because everyone will have access to all passwords at the tip of the finger without having to ask request passwords from other employees. Furthermore, employees who require the passwords on the field will also have access to the password. Furthermore, our IT department requires access to passwords to employee's computers in order to assist with troubleshooting. This allows the IT department to access computers remotely without asking for passwords receiving passwords over the internet.

• 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.
