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. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable.

Cons

"The UI is complex."

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

"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."

"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."

"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."

"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."

"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."

"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

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

"The high availability architecture has to be improved."

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

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

"They are expensive."

"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
