Identity governance has strengthened privileged access controls and supports ongoing compliance
Customization involves making changes to fit customer requirements. Maintenance usually involves sometimes having issues with different connectors, mostly the Active Directory and LDAP connectors. Periodic aggregation of accounts and applications sometimes go through issues with firewalls. Sometimes they do not work, and you need to make sure your connectors are all in sync, especially your LDAP and AD connectors. Sometimes there could be some issues occurring between these two connectors, so there will be maintenance on that side, making sure they are working on a regular basis based on your monitoring plan. Taking backups regularly and periodic backups are essential. Both the support rating and the overall product rating for CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is eight out of ten. Eight means they have complete processes in place to help support, they have resources available, and there is a method to contact them and get response quickly. In that regard, eight is appropriate because they reuse some of their main PAM components which is very good, and compared to other products which I ranked around nine, they should be at eight.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps users work from anywhere, regardless of their location or country. Users do not need to be in their office geo-location to access applications or resources, which provides flexibility for accessing applications wherever they are."
"We had these spreadsheets all over the place, but now we have a library of evidence to consult when needed. Zilla keeps everything in one place. It's not scattered all over anymore."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is a very stable product, and I do not see a lot of issues with it most of the time."
"I enjoy the ease of setup and creation of a review. Being a user of the tool or kind of an admin of the tool, the ease of setup of an access review is valuable."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"I am satisfied with the overall performance and stability."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"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."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
 

Cons

"The primary issue I have experienced with CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is related to support."
"Maybe this is coming with their AI module, but I would like to see a feature that performs baseline analysis of permissions that may not fit into a role, and it attempts to group them into a role. We've run into problems with applications where someone has not created a role but assigned ad hoc permissions to a user. We still need to do some manual work to identify the group that the user belongs to. It would be amazing to have Zilla streamline that."
"There is still no automated way to de-provision access as a result of a review, but they are getting there in terms of making it unified. They are getting closer to that."
"CyberArk IGA Powered by Zilla is lacking in the governance side of identities compared to competitors."
"The connectors should be improved."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has been fair because we have been in from the beginning or close to the beginning. I know it is not truly an identity access management system yet, but its price was one of the appealing factors for us to purchase it at the time. It was reasonably priced."
"It is affordable licensing."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"They are expensive."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"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 IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
