Principle at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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

"It has improved our organization because it is fast, accurate, and easy to maintain."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
 

Cons

"One item I would like to see improved is the ability to clean the deeper parts of the machine with simplicity."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The machine costs around five hundred thousand dollars."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
