Featured Reviews

Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.
GauravMathur - PeerSpot reviewer
Simple to use, easy to set up, and performs well
I'm not saying that we want to switch the product, however, since the requirement has increased, we are looking at other options that may be better suited. The scalability may not there. We have a few specific use cases where we have to avoid the cloud. Especially in Europe, we're not allowed to carry their phone in factories. We need some sort of secure access solution. There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure. I am paying to SafeNet and in parallel, I also need to pay Microsoft to use the same service. That makes no sense, to pay double. If they could do something about it, that would be very good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"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 solution is simple to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The interface is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."
"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 solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"The product must improve its support."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"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."
