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

"It has allowed us to have a central system for handling security profiles for all users on different target systems e.g. Oracle, Unix, and Active Directory."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"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."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."
 

Cons

"This product launches a request to add or remove accesses on different target systems but it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested."
"Reporting lacks the flexibility of retrieving the vast amount of data that we know is in the database, but not easily accessible."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."
"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."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It is affordable licensing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
