User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities

I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The role and attribute-based access control has been greatly improved."

"The most valuable feature is its knowledge."

"The solution offers high performance."

"DirX Directory is the best feature of the product: a very fast, stable LDAP directory."

"IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability."

"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."

"The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."

"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything."

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

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

"Security and administration for any new/current access."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

Cons

"Needs more available consultants and implementation partners."

"The price could be better. It would be better if they developed a better endpoint solution in the next release."

"An overall modernization of the product is required in order to keep up with newer products."

"The Self-Service Portal is old school and it lacks easy accessibility for users."

"The user interface could be more convenient for people that don't know the tool too intensively."

"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."

"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."

"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."

"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."

"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."

"The interface should be simple and easier to use."

"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better."

"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."

"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."

"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."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

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