Identity governance has become automated and gives full visibility into all human and agent access
The best features Linx Security offers include an access graph that shows every employee, every agent, every non-human identity, and what connects to them. They don't stop only on showing visibility but also take action. They have workflow automation which works perfectly. On top of that, they just released their autopilot, which is basically an identity agent running in your environment and can take action on your behalf. On top of that, they have their MCP gateway that can control agents accessing anywhere in the enterprise. The workflow automation has made my daily work easier by replacing a lot of manual work we've been doing. For example, you have an agent, the autopilot, that runs and provisions and de-provisions automatically every admin request. It looks for the context of who asked for it, gives a security risk score, reduces the time that we're spending on it, and frees up time to do other things. We manage contractors and created a just-in-time environment. People that leave the company have workflows running to make sure our posture and governance are how they're supposed to be.

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.
