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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything."

"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."

"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."

"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."

"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."

"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"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 feature is that it is simple to use."

"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."

"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."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

Cons

"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."

"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."

"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."

"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."

"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."

"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."

"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."

"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."

"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 solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."

"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."

"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap."

"They are expensive."

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"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."
