Empower users with robust IT security and seamless approval workflows
I raise requests on SailPoint, for example, if there is any server-related access needed. I use it more as an end-user, like raising simple tickets for identity access management SailPoint is more focused on IT security. I find that the approvals that flow through SailPoint are much better than…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."
"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."
"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."
"The solution offers high performance."
"It is a scalable product."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"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."
 

Cons

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."
"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."
"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."
"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."
"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."
"The product must improve its support."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's. I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."
"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."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
