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 most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The support is very good."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
 

Cons

"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."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The product must improve its support."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"They are expensive."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"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 product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"It is affordable licensing."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"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."
