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.

Great validation and integrity features of the endpoint
Our primary use case of Safenet is for cybersecurity incidents, particularly for remote users.  I'm the customer sales leader and a key account manager and we are customers of Thales.  The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great. Whether you're using a Mac OS or other operating…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"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."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"This solution has made my client's customers' journeys a lot better."
"The ease of use is very good; it's nice that everything comes out of the box in SailPoint, and once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"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."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
 

Cons

"The user interface needs some work. It could be more user-friendly."
"Technical Support: It needs to improve SLA."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"The license is expensive and the deployment is expensive."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"The scalability may not be there."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"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."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
