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

"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 most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"We like the integration with other systems."
 

Cons

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"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."
"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."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"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."
"The connectors should be improved."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"It is affordable licensing."
