Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."

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

"The solution offers high performance."

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."

"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."

"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."

"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."

"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."

"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."

"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

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

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

Cons

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

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

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

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

"The UI is complex."

"The mover process for this solution could be improved."

"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."

"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."

"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"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."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

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

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"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."

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

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

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