Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system. Gluu filters and displays relevant information based on the user's role in the processes. Users can set it up to view as a viewer, worker, manager, or controller of the area. The front end offers different views but provides an easy dashboard for employees. On the dashboard, users can configure it to show tasks, related work instructions, and connected processes. It's very user-friendly, allowing end-users to understand their tasks and processes without needing in-depth knowledge.

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

"Most of the features are related to banking within this particular IT industry. Security and the market are also important features."
"Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"I think the certification module is perhaps one of the most valuable features."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"Previously, when someone came on board, it took them almost a week or two to get access, to settle in, to be able to become productive; now, with SailPoint, we can get all of that done within a few hours, which has decreased the onboarding process and increased productivity."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
 

Cons

"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface."
"The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."
"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"The user interface needs some work. It could be more user-friendly."
"Yes, I found some scalability issues: Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Advanced searches with 0 rows."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper compared to typical German products. I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
"The price is reasonable."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
