Comparison of Identity Management features of Bitium and Tools4ever UMRA
Best suited for companies that use the same services across multiple teams, services that might require support at one point. For us, it is very easy to share access to either the IT support team or to me, as the Salesforce administrator, and we can easily take care of the issue and then log out without any hassle.
I would not strongly recommend it for single users, who don't need to share access to others.
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info
It is very well suited for tying multiple systems and services together, allowing for exchanges of information and account management. I'm not sure of instances that it is not well suited since solution was recommended by folks in education. With that being the case it suited our needs quite well.
Sharing access. It's as easy as 1-2-3 with Bitium, no more hassle with sharing the actual password and then changing it, violating company policies, etc.
Lots of apps supported. In all three years since we are using Bitium, we haven't encountered any app that would not be supported by it.
Easy to set up strong passwords. Another very easy and intuitive feature: when you are setting up an app, you can ask Bitium to generate an A-level password automatically, that you can therefore use with ease.

Imports students and staff into our Active Directory and email system.
It manages those same accounts, disabling accounts for folks who have left, and creating "Windows" when accounts should be enabled.
It interacts with our Microsoft AD and our student management software seamlessly. Once accounts are in our AD environment, our student management and other systems create new email accounts automatically for us.
Apps crashing. From time to time, some apps stop working in Bitium and they come back only after a while (1, 2, 8 hrs). We don't have a clear explanation for this yet.
Very tied to Chrome. Bitium is almost 'married' to Chrome, making it unusable in other browsers, which is sometimes problematic.
Sometimes slow Chrome Add-on. From time to time, the add-on seems so unresponsive that it is easier to go to the web dashboard and log in from there in the app you were looking for.

We have been attempting to get single sign on for students, so they have the ability to change their passwords on their own. The documentation of this process is very dated, and often support isn't even aware that their site issues/ references those older documents.
During the initial buildup of our server Tools4ever UMRA support was a bit hit and miss, but I will say our ongoing support has been very good.
Everyone is now required to have A-level passwords, so the overall level of security has increased a lot.
Having a secured way of sharing access to different apps, users are now very open to being helped more hands-on by the support teams, not fearing that their credentials might be exposed or later used.

We save considerable work hours by a multitude of staff having the system manage and generate accounts for us on a daily basis.
We have some peace of mind knowing accounts for staff and students who leave our district can no longer gain access to our systems because it automatically disables those accounts.
Because of the way the system interacts with input that is put in, it automatically creates logical positions which dictate different levels, meaning it automatically sets up when staff gain access and lose access depending on the position they are filling.
