SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

We primarily use the solution for regular connectors with LVAT connectors, Workday connectors, and Provision.

You can scale the solution if you need to.

The solution is stable and reliable.

The solution has plenty of places that need improvement and attention.

The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit.

The provision is not very intuitive. The interface is not user-friendly at all. They could redesign a lot of its functionality to make it easier to use.

The initial setup could be simplified. It's difficult right now.

Implementations rarely go well.

I can't think of other features that I would like to see in a future release.

I've been using the solution for about ten years now. It's been a long time - a decade at this point.

The solution is reliable. It doesn't have bugs or glitches that affect its performance. It doesn't crash. It's stable.

You can scale the solution quite easily. That wouldn't be a problem for a company.

I have experience with NetIQ, and I prefer it to this solution.

The initial setup isn't really complex, but it is difficult. It could be simplified in many ways. Right now, it's not straightforward. Up to 80% of implementations do not go to plan.

We handled the implementation ourselves. We didn't use an integrator or reseller to assist us during the initial setup. It was all handled in-house.

Our organization does not have any business relationship with the product.

I don't believe I would recommend the solution. I'd advise other organizations to use NetIQ instead. It's a better solution, in my opinion.

I'd rate the solution five out of ten overall.

 80% of my job is handling a software spike. If the project has failed, then I'm the one coming in to help clients and doing it for them. I've noticed that 80% of all SailPoint implementations do not go well.

We use it for Identity Lifecycle Management: 

• Access requests
• Provisioning
• Deprovisioning
• JCT process and reconciliation (aggregation).

It provides one solution for the entire process in a complex environment with different types of applications and connectors.

All Identity Access Management processes in the tool are valuable. 

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

It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment.

SailPoint IIQ Features:

• Compliance controls
• Access request and automated provisioning
• Password management
• Data access governance
• Role lifecycle management

Great product to manage the access control of users.

• Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality.
• Keeps data safe.

• Report generation
• Compliance manager dashboard reporting
• Policy violation
• Access certification, etc.

Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval.

Not applicable.

Enterprise application provisioning and certifications. Provisioning automatically grants access to users based on pre-qualified variables like job function, region, etc; Certification feature of IIQ allows teams to go back and validate that access is still valid, limiting access to those who need

Improved visibility into who has access to what improved ability to validate and certify enterprise access to sensitive applications, useful for measurement and forecasting.

Automated provisioning platform, certification because it helps with automatically provisioning users based on discreet roles, access profiles, across many different applications.

What used to be very complex can be simplified if implemented correctly.

Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution.

One to three years.

No.

No.

Excellent, they have a well supported active community of experts and support personnel.

No.

It can be a bit complex and requires training and a strong background in IT systems and some software development, but other than that it can be learned over time.

N/A.

I implement enterprise software solutions for my clients and SailPoint happens to be one of them.

Work with experience solutions experts who have worked with this tool before. Complement them with experience, and the tools needed to succeed including strong testing and development, project management and team support.

The solution includes all aspects of user lifecycle management, like joiners, movers and leavers, regulatory compliance, reporting and auditing. And the compliance part of the solution includes certification from time to time basis. All these are usual IEM cases. The aforementioned instances are all IAM cases.

The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides. So, it can be easily configured by a person using just a few rules and coding standards, after which that person can make anything out of the solution. SailPoint is quite an old solution in the market. So they know what new things are coming into the market along with artificial intelligence, and they have ensured that they have integrated into their solution the developments over time. Basically, SailPoint is up to date with the market standards.

Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented. Apart from that, it's a very good product, and I do not have any complaints about it.

Our company works as a distributor in the Middle East region for SailPoint. So, we are not just selling the product but also selling other products. I have been working with SailPoint IdentityIQ for eight years. Presently, I am working with SailPoint IdentityIQ Version 8.3.

It's a totally stable and very robust product. I've never seen it going down in the last eight years. I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten.

Since it is a very scalable product, I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients include small, medium, and enterprise businesses.

Since SailPoint is a big company, it usually takes time. The company has to schedule an appointment with the people and organizations to address their issues. So, I rate the solution's technical support a seven out of ten.

Neutral

Given a person has a background in implementing solutions, site architecture, and infrastructure, I rate the difficulty level of the current solution as an eight out of ten, with one being very difficult and ten being very easy.

The solution is deployed on the cloud, hybrid cloud and on-premises.

The basic deployment of SailPoint over user lifecycle management can depend on a client's use cases. However, for the basic setup of the system, it may take a week or so to get the solution ready with everything configured. One architecture is enough to carry out the deployment process. Also, the number of people required for maintenance depends upon the total number of use cases we have configured, so we can't categorize or quantify it.

I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing. For the solution, our company has secured a perpetual license.

I would tell those planning to use this solution that it is a very good and robust product in the market which supports almost all use cases. Also, SailPoint plans to expand to consumer identity. If one plans to proceed with this product, it will be a good decision. Additionally, it is not feasible for very small businesses, but it could be an amazing product and a good investment for the medium to large organizations. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

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

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

I've been using IdentityIQ for two years.

IdentityIQ is very stable.

IdentityIQ is scalable manually and automatedly.

The initial setup was easy, and the implementation was completed within four months.

I would rate IdentityIQ nine out of ten because the UI is really easy for end users to understand and use.

It is used on provisioning accounts, all the crude operations and enterprise resources. So an enterprise may have a different resource like SuccessFactor, Oracle or Microsoft. SailPoint IdentityIQ does the provisioning operation for all the users, which onboards it into the company enterprise. It also does the de-provisioning operations for all the users who leave the organization.

In between, it manages and maintains the accounts. Depending on the requirements, SailPoint IIQ provides a lot of functionality that can suit any enterprise's requirements.

It is simple and easy to implement.

Several resources and applications are entering the cybersecurity market, so if SailPoint IdentityIQ can provide a connector or a way to integrate all those resources, it would be good. For example, there is a connector in CyberArk, but it is not a direct connector. They go via Skim Server, and latency is experienced.

We have been using this solution for more than ten years. We are using version 8.3, and it is deployed on-premises.

It is a stable product. 

It is a scalable solution. We have more than 50 people using this solution.

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment time depends on the customer's requirements. If we are using our maximum resources, it takes about ten days.

It is a licensed product, but I am unsure of the exact cost.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten because it is simple and easy to implement and develop. Regarding advice, it is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net. If they get a corporate account, they can create the account via corporate email ID only. Therefore, I would recommend focusing on implementation. In addition, choosing the latest release minus one is good because it is always a stable product because clients have already tested and implemented it in their environment. So instead of taking additional risks, it can be tested by other clients first.

Certification of user's access, enabling the organization to have a strict governance of what its employees are for entitled to currently.

By using this product the organization has moved from manual access governance done previously to automated governance which has a full audit trail, and this is very beneficial.

Some of the features like multi-aggregation and self healing feature in case of corrupted certificates would be pretty useful which would enable easy debugging in case of issues.

More than two years.

No, the deployment is pretty straightforward.

No, the product is pretty stable given it has sufficient clustering and HA catered for seamless 24x7 high volume access.

Yes, with a growing number of certificates there was slowness in the overall certificate generation time which I believe is corrected in the upcoming release of the solution.

7/10.

8/10.

Yes, we used Aveksa's access governance which seemed to have a lot of issues with regards to aggregation and certificate generation which prompted the switch to Sailpoint.

It was pretty straightforward, just need to follow installation documentation properly.

It was done by the in-house team.

Aveksa was compared with Sailpoint identityIQ and Sailpoint IdentityIQ fared better in terms of performance and features.

If you are looking for a product that would suit your access governance needs then perhaps Sailpoint identity IQ is a good option, but if you require automatic remediation capabilities as well then you might need to integrate it with an identity management product like OIM.
