The layout of the controls had an intuitive feel but it ​broke down several times

Valuable Features:

Building/expanding a directory tree for my customers was the most valuable tool. Another was the ability to remove someone from the network with just a few clicks.  It was fairly easy to learn and the layout of the controls had an intuitive feel.

Improvements to My Organization:

The organization is moving to replace several tools with this one tool.

Room for Improvement:

Broke down several times during my 4 months but overall the delays were mostly minor.

Use of Solution:

I used it for four months.

Other Advice:

I was an Identity Access Management operator for a company contracted as an outsource for a major global company. My involvement was brief. I was part time help while looking for full time employment in an unrelated field.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes, we used Sun Identity Management and we switched because Sun IDM is coming to the end of its life.

How was the initial setup?

It was straightforward as we have a lot of experience with Sun IDM.

I am part of a consulting service team who can provide Identity Management platform implementation. We have been helping our customer implement Sun IDM in the past and last fall, we helped the customer in SailPoint.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Oracle Identity Manager was the other one we helped evaluate.

What other advice do I have?

Understand the customer's business practice regarding provisioning.

Good compliance features but their support takes a long time to respond
Pros and Cons
  • "The compliance features are the most valuable features."
  • "They should lower the price and technical support should be better."

What is our primary use case?

We use the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We use it for many uses like compliance control, provisioning, automated provisioning, password management, and identity governance.

What is most valuable?

The compliance features are the most valuable features. 

What needs improvement?

I would like for the client base to be improved. Also, they should change what they charge for the licenses.  

They should lower the price and technical support should be better. Their support takes a long time to respond and they're not straightforward.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using IdentityIQ for around two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is good. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is good. Based on compliance, it is good. 

How are customer service and technical support?

We've had issues with support. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. The time it takes to deploy depends on the size of the organization but it is reasonable. 

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a seven out of ten. Not a ten because of the support and because of the high price.

Good documentation, support, and an active community
Pros and Cons
  • "The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
  • "The interface should be simple and easier to use."

What is our primary use case?

We used this solution in one of our projects for provisioning rights in applications such as Active Directory and Office 365. It was also used for collecting information and centralizing it, which was then used to create rights.

What is most valuable?

There is a lot of documentation available.

The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources.

What needs improvement?

This solution is difficult to configure.

The interface should be simple and easier to use.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with SailPoint IdentityIQ for five months.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is very responsive. When I created a ticket, they responded the same day.

I had questions, more than issues when it came to technical support.

What other advice do I have?

The project that I worked on involved an on-premises deployment, although it can also be deployed on the cloud or in a hybrid cloud environment.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to not begin without having the specification written and documented in advance. If you are implementing it for a client then you want to understand everything that the client wants to use, in advance of implementing.

SailPoint is very good when it comes to Identity Management, although I would appreciate it more if it were simpler to use.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
