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:

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

Cons

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"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 new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is not cheap."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
"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."
