SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

We have made use of versions six, seven and eight and are currently using 8.2, the latest. 

We use the solution to create connectors, such as those involving Active Directory and GDVC for Oracle. We implement the solution towards this end. 

Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features. 

While the setup is very easy, the real difficulty lies in creating the connectors for work service. 

When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple. 

The solution could have better graphical features, in respect of ADDQ, when it comes to diagrams and pictures. The results for reporting use graphical layout. There should be better graphics for the interface in respect of reporting. 

We have been SailPoint IdentityIQ partners with America for one year and currently make use of the solution, same as IdentityNow, which we do with batch one or two. 

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

The technical support and community for SailPoint is great. 

While the setup is very easy, the real difficulty lies in creating the connectors for work service.

The deployment time varies with the project and client and can last anywhere from three months to a year or two. We have a smaller project involving 100 employees and a larger, more difficult, one involving 10,000. The latter requires a longer deployment period and more connectors. 

The solution is mainly geared toward SaaS, cloud-based services, which is the proper way to use it. I cannot think of a better use for it. 

We have hands on experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ. We work together with the SailPoint service professional and are in daily contact with their employees. 

I find the solution to be comprehensive. 

I would advise others to first create the connectors and provision in Active Directory or the the EHR system, human resource systems. One should implement the solution and the basic connectors, such as those concerning human resource applications or directory applications such as Active Directory. 

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten. 

The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications. 

The product's most valuable features are identity access control and access certifications. 

SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation. 

I have been working with the product for seven years. 

The solution is stable as long as the implementation is correct. 

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ's scalability an eight out of ten. 

I haven't contacted the technical support team yet. 

SailPoint IdentityIQ's usability depends on how well it is implemented. To set up the product, you must configure it like a web application. This involves setting up a web server and determining the number of servers needed based on the site's requirements. The setup process can vary in complexity depending on the client's environment. It can take a day to complete. 

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

If a customer wants certain automation during the identity lifecycle - for example, when hiring someone, letting someone go, or moving someone from one organization to another - you can automate tasks based on various factors like their role or department. The product simplifies tasks, especially those where certain individuals require specific access levels based on their roles. With automation, administrators don't need to manually remember or assign access levels for each role or department. 

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten. 

The third party is the non-payroll staff of the University. IdentityNow is used to manage services.

We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability.

SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper.

I have been using SailPoint IdentityIQ for a few years.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a scalable solution. We onboarded about 30,000 students, 7,000 staff, and 7,000 third parties that we need to manage on the platform. They use it themselves, and we just need to manage the numbers on the platform. People are managing it administratively within IT with five to six people.

We have engaged with SailPoint IdentityIQ's technical support and faced no problems with them.

The solution’s initial setup is complex.

We implemented SailPoint IdentityIQ through a consultant. The solution’s deployment takes around seven months.

We have seen a return on investment with SailPoint IdentityIQ because it manages our risks.

We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is deployed on-cloud in our organization. SailPoint IdentityIQ covers our whole portfolio, and its growth will depend on the growth of our numbers.

I would advise other users to be very sure of what they want to achieve and select the right product instead of being brand specific. In our case, SailPoint IdentityIQ matched the capabilities we sought.

Overall, I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a seven out of ten.

We're using SailPoint IdentityIQ for these purposes: user access, authentication, and governance review access.

SailPoint IdentityIQ has improved my organization as it's used mainly to provide access to first-time users and also for other actions around managing access.

A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil.

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.

I've been using SailPoint IdentityIQ for two years.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a stable solution.

We didn't have contact with the technical support for SailPoint IdentityIQ because we're using a third party for support.

Ten of our administrators used Append to control executive activities prior to using SailPoint IdentityIQ, but in general, we found SailPoint IdentityIQ to be more useful in maintaining information, access roles, and permissions. The solution does exactly what we needed it to do.

The initial setup for SailPoint IdentityIQ was straightforward.

We used a third party to implement SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in the beginning, but nowadays, we can implement the solution on our own. In the beginning, we had a problem with the rules inside the platform, but the third party helped us in solving the problem and installed and configured SailPoint IdentityIQ appropriately.

Right now, I'm not sure if there's ROI from SailPoint IdentityIQ, but within a few months or so, there will be.

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.

We evaluated other solutions, but SailPoint IdentityIQ proved to be more adequate for us to use, and we found that not a single solution or tool was exactly better than SailPoint IdentityIQ.

I'm not sure about the version of SailPoint IdentityIQ my company is using, but it's probably the newest version.

My company has ten administrators of SailPoint IdentityIQ and around one thousand users. Ten technicians maintain the solution. My company maintains the solution and always keeps it updated, so integrating other solutions to SailPoint IdentityIQ won't be a problem.

In terms of rating SailPoint IdentityIQ, nine is a good score for me. My company is very happy with the solution.

My company is a customer of SailPoint IdentityIQ.

As an academic institution, we have HR students and third parties.

The solution’s stability and performance are good.

The primary difference fundamentally is the state of the identity over time. So, the point-in-time identity drives the identity management, and that will improve the integrity of the identity management.

The connectors should be improved.

We had issues with the stability of the solution.

The solution is very scalable.

30-50 users are using this solution.

The initial setup depends on the type of proposition.

The product’s pricing depends on strategic servers. It is affordable for us to sustain ourselves.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

SailPoint started as a product for certification and governance. This is their most mature module and the first portion of the tool my clients want to implement.

But other valuable features are the strong user interface, quick ability to stand up solution, and many out of box connector.

This product, when implemented correctly, can streamline access control operations, reduce risk by provisioning and de-provisioning access quickly and hold approvers accountable for decisions on access.

There seems to be a rush to add new features in SailPoint. I would prefer cutting the amount of features in half to increase the stability, reduce the resource utilization and reduce bugs..

I have been using IdentityIQ and other Identity and Access Management solutions for over 3 years

We encountered major issues with the Active Directory connector caching configurations and concurrent major release upgrades. If you are running SailPoint 5.3, you need to update to 5.5, 6.0, 6.1, and 6.2 before upgrading to 6.3, it was a mess.

Although it seems to be getting better, for each deployment it seems a new set of bugs appear. There has never been a deployment where we have not encountered a product bug. If you are looking to do a deployment it may be better to deploy on the previous version with the latest patch than with a new version (e.g. 6.2.5 instead of 6.3).

Being based on Java, this tool is very heavy in memory and in processing. Word of advice, for large implementations be sure to use Intel processors. SailPoint supports Unix deployments, but it really is only better for smaller environments

SailPoint has a strong account management and support team, each company has an account manager and they are available to escalate issues quickly. Do not hesitate to escalate issues if they are time sensitive, sometimes it is tough to get their attention if something needs to be resolved quickly.

Similar to customer service, the technical support is strong. It might take a few times back and forth to get them out of the “try this and send us your logs” cycle, but getting them on a WebEx or LiveMeeting is a great way to watch them shine.

The initial setup is very straight forward and it takes around 30 minutes end to end. It is a Java app on a web server; you can do it locally very quickly.

The initial setup is very straight forward and it takes around 30 minutes end to end. It is a Java app on a web server so you can do it locally and very quickly.

We have had deployments with combinations of consultants, vendor hours(~200), and in house teams. The vendor help has always been very good, albeit sometimes you may get a fresh college graduate as an expert.

We achieve two returns in the investment in a SailPoint implementation. We were able to streamline access control related business processes and reduce identity management and access control risks, including potential audit/regulatory findings.

The other major players in the Identity Management space are Oracle OIM/OIA, Aveska and CA Technologies Identity Management. We had evaluated all via a vendor scorecard.

It is very difficult to go at this alone. If you are interested in implementing send your engineers to the SailPoint provisioning training and get a few experienced consultants to help you.

There are a lot of use cases. About 90% of our clients are using this solution for internal identity management. Only one client is using SailPoint for external customers. 

About 70% or 80% of deployments are on the cloud, and about 30% or 20% of deployments are on-premise. We have two customers who have on-premise deployments.

It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc.

Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that.

They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same.

We have been using this solution for three years.

It is absolutely stable.

It is scalable. It can support tens of millions of identities. We have a total of nine clients. Eight clients use it internally. One client is using SailPoint for external customers, and it is a very large deployment. They have about a million and a half customers.

We do not offer support because support is provided by SailPoint, but we can act as the first line of support. We have around seven people who are actively doing SailPoint tasks.

Their support is very good. My colleagues, as well as our customers, have shared that the support is very good.

We had some experience with Microsoft and IBM in the past, but these solutions are not so good. They're very expensive, and Microsoft and IBM are not flexible in pricing. 

We decided to go with SailPoint because, as a company, they are flexible. Their partner discounts are also good. SailPoint is a really good company. It is a new generation company like some of the other competitors and vendors.

Its installation is easy, but it depends on how many and what types of identity sources you have. If you have well-defined sources, such as active directory, LDAP directory, or some other application directories, it is very easy, but if you have only databases with identities, it could be challenging. It is not always easy to deploy identity management solutions in organizations because there are too many identity sources that have to be integrated.

The deployment duration depends on the scale, complexity, and number of sources. Typically, in enterprise organizations, it could take from six to nine months to cover the whole organization. It can even take a year. For customers with less than 20,000 or 30,000 active users, you can deploy it in less than three months.

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.

I would absolutely recommend this product. It is a good product.

I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a nine out of ten.

We have a central server and use SailPoint to provide us access to all user/admin accounts/files. There are a lot of integration options that we have not taken advantage of yet - it is possible that in the future, a customer will want to integrate their HR system with SailPoint.

This solution is great for providing control access across your environment.

I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface.

This is a stable solution that is widely used because it is dominant within the industry.

This solution can be expanded so I would say that it is scalable. The solution can accommodate thousands of users, there are maybe sixty of seventy thousand users within my organization.

Technical support is good.

This solution takes a long tome to deploy, but it is not complex to setup. A medium-scale deployment will take you about one year.

The system requires about ten to fifteen people to maintain from various teams i.e. active directory, access management, security etc.

You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage.

I would recommend this solution to anyone looking into it and would rate it an eight out of ten.
