What needs improvement?

The prices could be slightly reduced to match other products in the market.

I have been using this solution for seven years.

This is a stable solution.

Efficient identity management through automation while increasing efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "It reduces the operational overhead of audits."
  • "IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability."
  • "The pricing could be improved."
  • "I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."

What is our primary use case?

We are system integrators, so we implement and provide consulting around SailPoint. The product is used for identity governance, answering questions like who has access, what they have access to, and whether they should have access, especially for recertification. 

We create processes for role-based access control, attribute-based access control, and policy-based access control. We also handle joiners, movers, and leavers in the organization.

How has it helped my organization?

SailPoint helps save time and money, eliminate human error, ensure compliance, improve security, remove orphan identities, handle rogue identities, and ensure there are no redundant identities. 

Additionally, it reduces the operational overhead of audits.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the automation. The automation of provisioning and deprovisioning, managing contractors, temporary users, and the overall automation factor is fantastic. It brings efficiency in onboarding identities, restoring and extending accesses, and terminating accesses.

What needs improvement?

The pricing could be improved. Another aspect is that IdentityIQ should be more widely available on the cloud, especially in regions like the Middle East where residency issues are present.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with IdentityIQ since 2016, which makes it eight years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability. It's extremely reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution scales well as long as we provide the necessary resources. I would rate the scalability between 8.5 to nine outof ten.

How are customer service and support?

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

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

How was the initial setup?

The setup process is complex. For us, being veterans, we know the process very well, and it goes smoothly.

What about the implementation team?

We often help clients with the setup. We make the solution up and running and then hand it over to the client after providing knowledge transfer. We also provide managed services.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing of SailPoint could be better.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Saviynt is a main competitor. However, SailPoint is better since it comes with a legacy and is available in both cloud and on-premises models, unlike Saviynt, which is cloud-only.

What other advice do I have?

Depending on the use case, I recommend asking why SailPoint is needed, as it involves a significant commitment. It is not just a project but a long-term commitment or a marriage with the solution. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

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

IdentityIQ is connected to all our target systems to manage access to various applications.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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. In the next release, IdentityIQ should enable emails and reports through the UI instead of the code.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using IdentityIQ for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

IdentityIQ is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

IdentityIQ is scalable manually and automatedly.

I like the granular attachment management and certification customization features
Pros and Cons
  • "I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We used it to manage our complete lifecycle completely. We migrated from CA Integrated Manager to SailPoint in my previous firm. Typical use cases include onboarding contractors, lifecycle management, and employee lifecycle management for user certification. Other use cases include password reset and any application group-level provisioning.

What is most valuable?

I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used IdentityIQ for the last year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

IdentityIQ is pretty stable compared to our previous solution, and we're satisfied with the performance.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We haven't had any issues with scalability. What we built earlier matched our requirements, so Identity IQ was scalable as per our need when we added more users or applications. We have about 100,000 users. 

How are customer service and support?

We've used their engagement and peer services team since the beginning. 

How was the initial setup?

It was a standard installation. It wasn't too complicated or easy. It is a typical out-of-the-box installation. We could do it all ourselves with our in-house engineering capability. We need at least one engineer for deployment and maintenance and 10 people for support. It's a multi-year project for us split into three phases. I was there for phase one and part of the second phase. The third phase is ongoing.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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. Overall, enterprise pricing should be more transparent. It's a yearly license. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate IdentityIQ 7.5 out of 10.
