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 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 has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Very good."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
 

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."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application."
"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"The price is very high"
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"The customer support process is slow at times because they do not have proper language support for my clients in Latin America speaking Spanish."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much."
"The cost of this solution is high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"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."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"They are expensive."
"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 too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
