Manage certifications and reduce the workload for certification processes
The benefit of using SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it significantly reduces the workload for certification processes. Before implementing IdentityIQ, the corporation relied heavily on manual methods to gather accounts and permissions for review. Each host machine had to be checked manually to ensure account collection accuracy, followed by manually identifying accounts for certification. This entire process was labor-intensive, with human involvement at every step. It took about a month to gather notification data and initiate the certification process. Tracking the status of certifications was challenging since it was managed through Excel, making it difficult to determine completion percentages. Once all certifications were completed, SailPoint shifted through Excel sheets to finalize reports. With IdentityIQ, the process is streamlined, reducing the time required for certification, and it also has an automated aggregation of accounts, assets, and groups. There's no opportunity for human error or intentional concealment of accounts, enhancing security.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
 

Cons

"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"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."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The program is quite expensive."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
