Cons

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

"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."

"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."

"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."

"In general, I have handled Okta and OpenText and noted that those companies have a longer history in the market, which gives them an advantage over SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and Saviynt in aspects like account provisioning and life cycle management."

"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."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."

"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."

"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."

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

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."

"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."

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

"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."

"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."

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