Pros
Allows admins to enable single sign-on to additional applications without Imprivata services. After a quick training session with Imprivata, most admins are easily able to enable additional apps.
Works well with many device types including Windows, IGEL, Teradici and many Linux based thin clients.
High availability and failover. Imprivata's implementation of this was one of the most well thought out and easy to implement of any solutions in our stack. It works very similar to Active Directory, but requires no real config or settings to make it happen. Add an additional appliance and the enterprise is automatically synchronized. If an appliance goes down, client software is aware and automatically switched to another appliance.
Cons
Licensing is per named user. This is off putting for many VDI customers who are accustomed to concurrent licensing models. They have a valid reason behind it, that each user that uses the system has a record with stored credentials and thus consumes a license, but still a different model than other VDI solutions.
Finding detailed information on configuration and support is more difficult than many other vendors they integrate with. Everything is behind a support wall vs VMware or Citrix who's solutions can be easily googled.
They've primarily branded as a healthcare solution, but their tools and software work well for non healthcare / commercial organizations.
Return on Investment
Reduces time spent by clinicians entering their username/password.
Allows end users to focus on their workflow rather than credentials and system/application access.
Adds an additional layer of audit data that can be helpful for HIPAA, troubleshooting and general user activity reporting.

Sr. Systems Engineer – Windows Architect in Information Technology at Ally Financial Inc. (10,001+ employees employees)
Pros
Application learning toolset was the easiest of all the tools I reviewed for this project. It was able to pull unique data from the GUI to help facilitate login/logout processes.
Ease of registration. The end users were able to access the systems with either UID/password, badge or finger. The wizards were able to detect card replacement with ease.
Epic - The toughest application to profile, they introduced a connector that they wrote with Epic's developers to help this API based login process. This was critical for the longevity of this project. It took several iterations but the final product that was released while I worked on it was very solid.
Cons
The agent process was sometime slow.
System health was an issue and the tool really needs a maintenance process to allow for a system restart when not in use, we accomplished it with secondary scripts.
Disconnect with Citrix was sometimes an issue but we were running an older version of the application server. The logging and troubleshooting was cumbersome to comb through.
Return on Investment
The lower log in times for doctors and staff showed a great ROI.
Lower help desk calls means the longer staff can focus on their duties and patient turnover.
Extra log in for staff that didn't want to take the responsibility of enrolling their badge and being responsible for tracking it's location at all times of active work hours.

Director in Information Technology (501-1000 employees employees)
Pros
The ability to allow users to easily sign in one time to the network, and then allow users to open additional programs without typing in their credentials again.
Profile management for the user is also easy and they can change their passwords if needed.
The two factor authentication is simple and allows the PD to use a token to unlock their computer with a quick touch as opposed to logging back in each time the laptop locks the machine.
Cons
Building the application profiles is not always simple.
Better application integration with Java would be beneficial.
Return on Investment
Simplified the user log in experience.
Reclaimed staff time and efficiency in the daily operations.
Helped us maintain industry required compliance mandates.
