Tivoli Identity Manager (legacy) Reviews & Insights

We use Tivoli Identity Manager to create and modify our domain user accounts. The initial reason we purchased the product is that we used and still use a little bit some IBM AS/400 systems and we needed a way to synchronize the user passwords between our Windows Active Directory environment and the AS/400 systems and this fit the bill.

It's probably really best suited if you have a business where you have disparate systems but need a way to synchronize the user account information including the passwords between them. If you just have a Windows Active Directory environment only, there probably is no real need for something like this, but if you do this will help manage them easily.

We use Tivoli to help centralize access management across a large portal. This is vital for our business and the users. I enjoy that it allows developers more time to worry about their actual application and the potential features, rather than worrying about authentication work that needs to be done uniquely.

Well suited in terms of easy of deployment and scales best for enterprise applications. I'd say deployment is fast for SAM. Also great when a customer wants to handle Microsoft applications and other applications through TAI and GSO feature. It's a more friendly solution to install now, but you need some smart guys on the team.
