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."
"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 solution offers high performance."
"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 most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
 

Cons

"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."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's. I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"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."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"It is affordable licensing."
