Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.

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 features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
"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 feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."
"The solution is stable and flexible; we didn't have any issues with it, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"I find the solution to be comprehensive."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
 

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."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The product must improve its support."
"Some of the features like multi-aggregation and self healing feature in case of corrupted certificates would be pretty useful which would enable easy debugging in case of issues."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
"Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution."
"The price is very high"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"It is affordable licensing."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"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."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
