An effective auditing solution that scours your AD and produces easy-to-understand logs
I have used the solution across three different jobs. At Canadian School, I improved operations by implementing audit automations that allowed me to understand changes in the AD. I also utilized the self-service password portal so users could conduct resets without needing IT tickets. Video feedback about this use case was provided to ManageEngine and is still posted on their YouTube. At Cognita, I managed ten international schools from Singapore to Australia where I rolled out the solution's audit features and self-service password portal. I did not include the ticketing system in rollout as there was one already in place. In my current role at FMCG, I rolled out the audit feature but not the self-service password portal. We use the on-premises solution but link it to our Azure AD for cloud services.

Great features with good certification module but the cost can be prohibitive for some
We use this product for identity governance. There is the basic identity creation in the lifecycle followed by certification. I'm a company manager and implementer and we are customers of SailPoint.   I think the certification module is perhaps one of the most valuable features. The options are…

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 the solution are its ease of use, the ability for us to customize the access privileges for the users, and integration with ServiceDesk Plus."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. They allow me to see everything in real-time and drill down and pick and choose versus running scripts."
"The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"Makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"The product helps to validate every activity."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"The support is very good."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
 

Cons

"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"Some things are not very intuitive."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"The UI is complex."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"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."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is good."
"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"It is not expensive."
"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"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."
"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 product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"It is affordable licensing."
"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."
