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.

Cons

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

"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."

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

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."

"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."

"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"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."
