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

"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
"It is a scalable product."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
 

Cons

"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access. I believe this feature is supposed to be in version 7."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"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."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"The UI is complex."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"It is affordable licensing."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for 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 is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
