User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities
I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The flexibility of the product."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution is extremely stable; typically if you don't change the setup, the configuration, or anything, it will be running for decades and nothing will happen as an issue."
"The solution offers high performance."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"Simplified Access Governance and Life Cycle Management, easy to implement in comparison to other IAM tools."
"The solution is stable and flexible; we didn't have any issues with it, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"From the perspective of its performance I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten, in light of its identity governance."
"Previously, when someone came on board, it took them almost a week or two to get access, to settle in, to be able to become productive; now, with SailPoint, we can get all of that done within a few hours, which has decreased the onboarding process and increased productivity."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"The basic concept is most valuable; I like how they have designed the solution, where they create an Identity Cube and then do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"IdentityIQ takes care of the joiner (new accounts), the mover (transfer/role changes), and the lever (account termination), as well as looking at things like the certification phase, and provides market leading governance capabilities."

Cons

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The product provides an excellent framework but could use some polish on the front end to reduce the amount of configuration required for basic tasks."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"The license is expensive and the deployment is expensive."
"The UI is complex."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"I wish the support from SailPoint was a little bit faster than we've experienced so far. It has taken, sometimes, a couple of weeks to get feedback from them."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"They are expensive."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
