Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The solution offers high performance."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"The product must improve its support."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"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."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"The solution is not cheap."
