Sentiment score
6.6
SailPoint Identity Security Cloud provides efficient support with responsive service, though some experience delays and language challenges in specific regions.
We do not contact their technical support directly because we have a service agreement already in place with them with some dedicated and some non-dedicated resources.

Featured Reviews

Espen Bago - PeerSpot reviewer
Has the ability to give people access, but it should include more analytics capabilities
Omada Identity is quite good at providing a clear roadmap for getting additional features deployed. We've always been able to have good discussions with Omada's product managers about the features we would like to have. It's a good environment for discussion, and I've heard from others that Omada is good at listening to customers and getting features into production within a year or so. Omada partially helped us to deploy IGA. However, the company I was working for needed to take more charge and do things a bit differently. It was not possible for Omada to do that for us. Omada did help, and it was not Omada's fault that it took longer. It's too early to say if the solution's identity analytics has affected the manual overhead involved with our identity management. It should have had a positive effect because it should be easier to request more things automatically. Since that's not in production yet, we couldn't measure the effect, but it looked promising. Our Omada solution is set up to remove an employee's access as soon as that employee leaves our organization. This setup has positively affected our organization's security because we have less overall access. Omada Identity was deployed as a SaaS solution in our organization. I think Omada Identity is flexible enough to be used by both smaller and bigger companies. Based on what I've seen, Omada's out-of-the-box connectors are more than sufficient. I advise users to assess their data quality and make a clear cleanup plan before using the solution because Omada is not well-suited as a cleanup tool. Overall, I rate Omada Identity a seven out of ten.
SYAMSUL SALAM - PeerSpot reviewer
The product is affordable and easy to use, but the technical support must be improved
The solution is used to manage SSO and login for internal applications The product enables detailed user management. The product is easy to use. Our users found it easier than Microsoft Identity Manager. The solution must add more configurations. There are different types of user identity in…
RameshBhattacharjee - PeerSpot reviewer
Great features with good certification module but the cost can be prohibitive for some
The only issue I have with the product is that there are modules that need to be bought separately, and that makes the product prohibitive for some of the customers that I've worked with, particularly in the middle-tier range. The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much. They could provide something similar to what Okta offers and I believe this would give the company a lot more traction in the mid-size range of companies. I'd like to see SailPoint support for custom-based connectors.
