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.

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."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"We are able to automate the entire process of joiners, movers, leavers and the provisioning and deprovisioning of identities."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"We decided to go with SailPoint because, as a company, they are flexible, their partner discounts are good, and SailPoint is a really good new generation company."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"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 cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
 

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."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
