Principle at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities

I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

Cons

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."

"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."

"The connectors should be improved."

"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."

"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."

"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
