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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Delinea Privileged Access Service's UI part was very user-friendly for secure credential storage and management."
"This is a cloud-based application, which makes it very easy to deploy."
"The privileged account management feature is what I like most."
"If somebody is looking for a straightforward PAM that is easy to deploy then I would recommend Centrify."
"The solution provides secure access to environments."
"The most valuable feature of Delinea Privileged Access Service is we can use the server as a jump host. It is simple to manage the accounts on the system."
"The most valuable feature is the author's discovery of assets."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"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."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"IdentityIQ is pretty stable compared to our previous solution, and we're satisfied with the performance."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
 

Cons

"The integration with sync could be improved."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
"With Delinea Privileged Access Service, when installing the identity connectors to configure with AD, the configuration was not happening properly."
"I would have been really happy if Delinea were evolving or innovating like CyberArk. Delinea needs to innovate more to match the changing needs of the market."
"Although the interface is intuitive, it could be a little more user-friendly."
"My thoughts about support of Delinea in general are that they are so so."
"The initial setup is a bit complex, but once the infrastructure is there and all the components have been installed, it's easy and straightforward to maintain."
"The pricing and presence could be improved."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"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."
"Broke down several times during my 4 months but overall the delays were mostly minor."
"They are expensive."
"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."

"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
