Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management

WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for 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 community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."

"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."

"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"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."

"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."

"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."

"The product feature is quite nice and simple, especially in terms of the UI and implementation."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"I am completely satisfied with WSO2 Identity Server and would definitely recommend it to other companies."

"The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components."

"It's very easy to implement everything."

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"The solution gets the job done, and we don't have to do the main configuration."

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."

"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us."

"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

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

"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."

"The UI is complex."

"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."

"The product must improve its support."

"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."

"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

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

"I found the pricing to be relatively high."

"It is affordable licensing."

"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."

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

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."
