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 role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The solution offers high performance."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
 

Cons

"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."
"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"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."
"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."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
