Featured Reviews

Iwegbue Godspower Isioma - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides strong authentication feature, which requires users to enter a one-time password (OTP)
The main issue I've noticed pertains to setting up the desktop client on virtual machines in Azure, GCP, or AWS, specifically for Entrust Identity Enterprise intended for on-premises use. It works for on-premises, but I'm not sure if it's fully supported in cloud environments. If support were added, it would function perfectly with on-premises configurations. So, it functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.
Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Entrust is an enterprise account, and they have a support system. Their training is also top-notch, and they are willing to share their knowledge with their partners."
"I am impressed with Entrust because they are one of the most advanced identity access management companies. Their portfolio of products is well aligned with the CISA zero trust framework. If you compare the features of Entrust products with the CISA pillars of zero trust, you'll see that they're perfectly matched with CISA requirements."
"It is a scalable solution. You can add users and credentials without problems."
"This solution is flexible and easy to use for our clients. We use it with different kinds of applications and integrate it with different processes."
"The integration matrix of the solution is huge compared to others."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
 

Cons

"I would like to improve the tool's implementation and pricing."
"It functions well on-premises, but integrating it with cloud services like AWS or Azure could be challenging. There are issues with cloud integrations, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP."
"The product is very costly compared to other alternative solutions."
"We are introducing new processes and are migrating to a new version. Once we explore new functionalities, we'll be able to assess what could be improved."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"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 cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"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."
"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."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription could be yearly or monthly, depending upon your choice."
"It's worth the money."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"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 pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"They are expensive."
