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

"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"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."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
 

Cons

"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"The product must improve its support."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"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."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"The program is quite expensive."
"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."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
