A compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see, although I can't run it across all systems because some of them don't have all the required configurations.
This solution exposes things that are going on. Here's an analogy: the first time you look at drop of water in a microscope, you don’t know what things are floating around. You see things that you want to investigate, but you don’t know whether they're good or bad. With this solution, a compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see. He sees both the good and the bad, makes a determination of whether they're indeed good or bad, and then takes the necessary steps or actions to take the good and get rid of the bad. In this way, it allows him to do better things with regard to security control, certificates, role management, and other role-based access.

Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With this solution, a compliance manager is able to see things he wouldn't otherwise be able to see."
"The ease of use is very good; it's nice that everything comes out of the box in SailPoint, and once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"It provides one solution for the entire process in a complex environment with different types of applications and connectors."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"Automated provisioning platform, certification because it helps with automatically provisioning users based on discreet roles, access profiles, across many different applications."
"SailPoint IIQ is the best of best."
"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

"Unfortunately, right now it's just eye candy and, despite the ability for a compliance manager to see things he wouldn't otherwise see, it still hasn't provided the benefits we had hoped."
"The connectors should be improved."
"Dashboards – whilst better and more feature rich than a number of competing products, they are still nowhere near the functionality one gets from dedicated portal and analytics tools (eg. drill-downs, comparative views, etc.)."
"The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"They are expensive."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is not cheap."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
