Acknowledged for Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
Novell today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders Quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for User Provisioning.* Covering vendors and solutions that manage identities across systems and applications, the Gartner report cites compliance as the main driver for uptake of products.
"User Provisioning and Identity Management are the basis of security and compliance in the enterprise and the cloud," said Jay Roxe, director of Identity and Security Marketing, Novell. "We believe Gartner's recognition of Novell Identity Manager as a leader is another reason for customers to have confidence in choosing Novell as the foundation for their identity-infused enterprise."
According to Gartner, "large-scale user-provisioning projects remain complex, requiring experienced integrators and skilled project management for the enterprise" and "there is no 'one-size-fits-all' provisioning solution."
Novell's strengths are:
The Novell identity framework automates the management of millions of user identities inside and outside an organization, across physical, virtual and cloud environments. By doing so, Novell's Security solutions provide the foundation for a secure, risk-aware enterprise where customers are better able to curb administration costs, eliminate complex manual processes, enforce security and compliance and adopt new computing models such as SaaS.
