Useful for vulnerability management but requires to improve the support offered
Speaking about the group management capabilities is something like discussing Active Directory. For the infrastructure, I am using another solution. I manage my entire infrastructure through JAMS Cloud. I would recommend the product to others 50 percent of the time, while I may not do so the other 50 percent. I would recommend that others go with Sophos. In terms of the value derived from the use of the product, I can say that it is possible if the working of the product is good. I don't get to use any AI features in ManageEngine. I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"It makes our job easier, especially for managing data for a bulk of users."
"The most valuable feature was conducting the automation of our cloud and all services of the Active Directory."
"The product helps to validate every activity."
"Simple with good automation."
"Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me. This includes the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
 

Cons

"Some things are not very intuitive."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"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."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"There is room for improvement in support, they should work on overall competence and turn-around time."
"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."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"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."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"It is not expensive."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"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."
"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 price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"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."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"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."
