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."
"Imprivata Identity Governance is very stable; in the past four years, I've had zero interruption to our service, and if there was an interruption, it was due to expirations or network issues."
"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the right things."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"I find the solution to be comprehensive."
"I am satisfied with the overall performance and stability."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"By using this product the organization has moved from manual access governance done previously to automated governance which has a full audit trail, and this is very beneficial."
 

Cons

"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."
"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"Should have authentication modules as well"
"Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution."
"The UI is complex."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"Technical Support: It needs to improve SLA."
"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"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 price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
