Featured Reviews

Mitch MO - PeerSpot reviewer
Specialist Consultant at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
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.

Centralized access has strengthened security and simplified day-to-day infrastructure operations
Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration. Beyond onboarding and RBAC complexity, there are areas that could be enhanced from an integration perspective. While SSO integration works well, deeper out-of-the-box integrations with SIEM and monitoring tools would be beneficial.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"IdentityIQ is pretty stable compared to our previous solution, and we're satisfied with the performance."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"Technical support is very responsive and when I created a ticket, they responded the same day."
"Regarding how Teleport has positively impacted my organization, I have learned a lot of things through it, I understand how to deliver and receive content, and I have learned many things related to RF signals where we lose packets."
"Teleport changed our workflow by centralizing access control and reducing manual SSH key management."
"The best features include its main capabilities such as collecting actions and showing others what you did on the server, an easy way to connect to any bare-metal servers, and the ability to describe which servers you can use and who can connect to these servers."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."
"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."
"Teleport has positively impacted my organization by being very helpful for productivity and team collaboration, especially since the old tool we used took a lot of time to get approvals."
"Teleport definitely reduced the risks; we are no longer exposing root-level accounts for people that are meant to have an elevated account."
 

Cons

"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"Yes, I found some scalability issues: Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Advanced searches with 0 rows."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly."
"Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"I wish the support from SailPoint was a little bit faster than we've experienced so far. It has taken, sometimes, a couple of weeks to get feedback from them."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"Sometimes our devices do not reflect the error, and then we work on why it is not showing any alarm or issue, even though we experience distortion or issues on the TS."
"Teleport has been a solid and secure access management solution, but there are a few areas that could be improved, particularly around the initial setup and RBAC configuration."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"I think it should have less complexity to set up on self-hosted because it is still a difficult process and I spend a lot of time using it on self-host."
"I rate it a seven because, as I mentioned, there is a security threat regarding clipboard access."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
