IBM AskIAM

Activities: Y/M Diagnostics: Y/M Provisioning: Y/H
Event ontology: P/M Observability: P/L Confidence: Medium

Build style / interface — Low‑code assistant workflows delivered via IBM Consulting.
What it actually does — Handles identity and access requests, approvals, and onboarding; provides posture insights and cross‑system provisioning across platforms.
Data / telemetry — IAM request histories and audit trails.
Interoperability — IAM APIs (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, SailPoint, and others).
Deployment model — IBM-managed service for enterprise clients.
Notes — Deep infrastructure telemetry is out of scope.

UKM Snapshots: ingest P/M, index P/M, retrieval Y/M, governance Y/M, overall medium
Note: Ingestion & Validation: P/M; Normalization & Enrichment: Y/M; A key value of AskIAM is centralizing and simplifying access workflows across fragmented IAM tools saviynt

UAM Snapshots:
ingest Y/M, index Y/M, retrieval Y/M, governance Y/M, overall medium
Note: Coverage — Ingest Y/M; Index Y/M; Retrieval Y/M; Governance Y/M; Overall medium

UDM Snapshots:
ingest Y/M, index Y/M, retrieval Y/M, governance Y/M, overall medium
