OpenText Access Manager (NetIQ) Reviews & Product Details

The product's compatibility with both NetIQ identity manager and NetIQ access manager and Implementation is easy to use. The NetIQ provides different solutions like NetIQ Advanced Authentication for Multi-factor authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As mentioned, It provides features as a different product; for example, if you want to use advanced authentication like social login, 2FA, SMS OTP, email OTP, we have to install an Advanced authentication framework. For feteching governance reports we have to use NetIQ Governance tool. It will be useful if they provide the all the features under one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simple Single Sign On as the only step for all the identity management makes the tracking of all activities in the org extremely simple. This is what I like the best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, there will be downtime/issues with SSO and we need to try multiple times to get the SSO started. This is something that I dislike and can be improved by the team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great tool to use not only for your business, but in every day life as well. It makes your devices and computer a little more secure with SSO Features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is used to provide single sign-on / federated access to a suite of Java applications and reporting/collaboration tools.

Licensing for this tool is calculated based on the number of users accessing the applications behind it so determining cost is as simple as counting the number of active accounts.

The current versions of this tool can be installed as services on standard Redhat Enterprise servers which allows for easy integration into an environment where this operating system is already utilized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While we have been able to configure a large number of applications to sit behind the NAM, there are some applications that cannot be configured to do so. An example of one of these applications is Cisco Show & Share. When users access this tool, a component (WOWZA) wants the client to talk directly to it on a port other than 80 or 443. While this issue could be resolved by Cisco and NetIQ is not to blame, it is something that should be considered when bringing a tool like NAM into one's environment. Of course, be sure to perform careful analysis of your existing apps, but also think hard about apps that may be introduced in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple integration with Password Self Service (separate product) to provide integrated password expiry management.

SAML IDP support which we use for a number partner cloud and internal services. Works with latest Shibboleth service provider which is great for education and research institutions.

Additional security from access gateway allows you to completely restrict access to a web service. This protects from the usual url probing sites experience looking for vulnerabilities in site code. Also ability to support legacy web applications via form filling it extremely useful to provide SSO features for users whilst providing that extra layer of security.

Excellent support documents and their support people are very good. I have over the the years had a couple of SR opened and resolved very satisfactorily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit of a step learning curve to understand the architecture, but it pays off to do so.

More out of the box integrations with two factor authentication providers would be good. It isn't hard to do your self as it is a very flexible system, but you do need some basic java skills or a good consultant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Secure Web Resources. Its important to secure all web transactions. As a web application penetration tester, I thought this product was good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes a bit slow to connect, but aren't all programs. One day we'll just plug into the matrix Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SAML configuration is a breeze when provided metadata.

The option to form fill and proxy sites that don't offer SAML is convenient.

Little to no coding experience necessary to deploy product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Infrastracture components can be complex to deploy but I think that that may have improved in recent versions.

Administration of the system is sluggish in a DR situation where components are cut off from each other.
