Head of Sales and Business Development at Axalon GmbH

Flexible with high performance and good reliability

The solution scales well. As an example, there has been an American telecom service provider that had 20 million users, and the data of those user profiles had been stored on Dirx Directory, and they don't have any issues in retrieving the data and using it for any kind of services. Regarding our clients, the amount of users depends on if you have end users that don't really use this Directory or not. They are stored in this Directory and make use of the services that are administered via this Directory. There we are talking about millions. Then, you have administrators who configure the Directory and there we're talking about, let's say, hundreds of users.

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.

Pros

"The solution offers high performance."

"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."

"The flexibility of the product."

"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."

Cons

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."

"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 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."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."

"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."

"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version."

"The interface should be simple and easier to use."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."

"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."

"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."

"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."

"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."

"They are expensive."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
