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

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"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."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"We use it for many uses like compliance control, provisioning, automated provisioning, password management, and identity governance."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
 

Cons

"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application."
"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."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's. I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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 solution is not cheap."
"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."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
