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.
Joel Amate - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"I would rate the stability as eight out of ten."
"It helps the end users to work on the road without needing to set up all kinds of VPN connections"
"If an end-user has an issue with a device, the administration has the ability to remote access the device after approval from the end-user."
"Its UI is extremely easy to use whether you're an advanced user or a novice user. When I first opened it up and had to learn the product, I was easily a novice. By the end of the third month, I was digging into the backend of the system and using it as a highly advanced user to accomplish what I needed to accomplish, and I was able to do it through the UI mostly."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"We can impose cybersecurity requirements."
"The solution has very good documentation."
"The solution has a lot of capabilities, and it is easy to manage and customize."
 

Cons

"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"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 product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"Technical support needs to be more responsive to our requests."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"The bigger vendors like VMware, Insight, and MobileIron can assign engineers to customers. You can work with them to develop the right competency to use the product."
"AirWatch doesn't seem to empower IT admins to try new things or get creative with implementations."
"The solution is too complicated. A lot of end customers don't know how to start when they go into the console."
"In terms of the inventory management side, as in the invoice management, the stock management and the entire inventory of an organization is lagging a bit in comparison to Blackberry or other EMM solutions."
"The Content Locker cannot inherit permissions for the Windows Public Folder. If they could integrate with Microsoft on this point, it would be the perfect functionality."
"The SaaS environment is not very responsive at times, so the performance can be improved in that regard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for 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."
"It is affordable licensing."
"The solution is about $45 per device for a 12 month subscription. The price is standard across the world."
"The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable."
"In some cases, a customer may feel the solution is expensive."
"It is quite expensive, but I think large companies have agreements with these organizations that provide remote monitoring for phones, and they get massive discounts. The public price does not reflect what they pay. You won't get the same pricing if you're buying for 10 employees versus 1,000 employees. On the public price, you get perhaps a 10% discount, but if you're buying 1,000, the discount could be really massive, especially if you signed a contract for a number of years."
"It's an expensive tool."
"If you have a host of custom requirements (including licensing), make sure to set aside enough time for the initial setup because it can take up to a few weeks depending on how complex your environment is."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"For the moment, we have a multi-year contract, meaning that we cannot go with a different solution at this time even if the price should prove more favorable."
