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.

"The support is very good."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

Cons

"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."

"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."

"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."

"The user interface is not very user-friendly."

"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."

"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."

"The interface should be simple and easier to use."

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

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"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."

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

"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."

"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."

"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."

"Technical support can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."

"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."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."

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

"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 IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."

"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
