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

"For the time when we have to implement re-certification for special accounts this was the best for our requirements."
"Automated provisioning platform, certification because it helps with automatically provisioning users based on discreet roles, access profiles, across many different applications."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"Simplified Access Governance and Life Cycle Management, easy to implement in comparison to other IAM tools."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"I am satisfied with the overall performance and stability."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
 

Cons

"Performance tuning should be better."
"Some of the features like multi-aggregation and self healing feature in case of corrupted certificates would be pretty useful which would enable easy debugging in case of issues."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"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."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
