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."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"Customization of workflows as per business needs is easy and the most effective part is certification for easy compliance and access monitoring and revokes extra access if any."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"The ease of use is very good; it's nice that everything comes out of the box in SailPoint, and once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"Manager Certification helped to review user access and revoked unnecessary accesses to various applications."
"We use it for many uses like compliance control, provisioning, automated provisioning, password management, and identity governance."
 

Cons

"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application."
"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."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"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."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"The connectors should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The solution is not cheap."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"They are expensive."
