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."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"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."
"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."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"In general, I have handled Okta and OpenText and noted that those companies have a longer history in the market, which gives them an advantage over SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and Saviynt in aspects like account provisioning and life cycle management."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"Complex configuration if you want to have AD forest architecture in place."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"The solution is not cheap."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
