IAM Expert Group Lead at Ventum
An open-source solution that helps in IAM
Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation. Users are granted access based on predefined roles associated with their positions, organizational hierarchy, or job titles. Instead of direct assignments, users automatically receive roles upon entering the company, aligning with their assignments. The core feature of EVOLVEUM midPoint that I find most valuable is provisioning. Users, including myself, can submit requests that need designated individuals' approval. Additionally, the recertification feature is crucial for regularly reviewing and confirming the appropriateness of user access rights. I find recertifications valuable because they align with clear regulatory requirements for companies to perform them at least once yearly. Using the product, I can initiate a recertification campaign by selecting users and the applications to be recertified. I define the individuals responsible for approving or rejecting access. The goal is to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. The tool's flexibility in handling identity types and tickets has brought notable benefits. It provides full flexibility to extend attributes or the schema for users and organizations. Its audit and reporting capabilities have significantly enhanced our customer's compliance and security posture. Management's regular need for reports, such as the number of users in the application and identifying users with critical access, is addressed. The solution allows easy configuration of reports directly from the front end. Additionally, the ability to schedule and automate report execution, followed by automatic distribution to support or responsible personnel, streamlines the process.

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.

Pros

"Our customers leverage the product as a central component in their identity field management. The process involves connecting it to target systems through connectors. It also helps us in role-based access control implementation."
"The basic setup is straightforward and takes minutes to complete."
"Because the product is automating processes, if somebody joins the company, based on his or her role within the company he or she gets proper rights and accesses to the target systems."
"The basic setup is straightforward and takes minutes to complete."
"I like that it's open-source, and it's working. It has nice features, and it looks like it's easy to maintain."
"I like IdentityIQ's granular attachment management and certification customization features."
"By using this product the organization has moved from manual access governance done previously to automated governance which has a full audit trail, and this is very beneficial."
"The support is very good."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"The basic concept is most valuable; I like how they have designed the solution, where they create an Identity Cube and then do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"Simplified Access Governance and Life Cycle Management, easy to implement in comparison to other IAM tools."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
 

Cons

"I think that the product is missing some of the identity governance functions—for example, the legal stuff and GDPR, and so on. But I think they are currently working on it."
"One area where I see room for improvement in EVOLVEUM midPoint is enhancing the user interface for configuration. Currently, a significant portion of the configuration involves technical, XML-based settings requiring a higher level of technical expertise."
"I think that the product is missing some of the identity governance functions related the data provenance."
"The support isn't ideal - because the product is open-source, it relies on your own ability to make it work unless you pay for support at a high hourly rate."
"The support isn't ideal - because the product is open-source, it relies on your own ability to make it work unless you pay for support at a high hourly rate."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"Although it seems to be getting better, for each deployment it seems a new set of bugs appear. There has never been a deployment where we have not encountered a product bug."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is defined by the number of users."
"The product is free to use, but a cost is associated if you opt for official product support. Additionally, there is an option for a platform subscription, which entails professional services provided by the vendor."
"We're EVOLVEUM partners, and I tried it without a license."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"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 is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
