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.

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

"Great product to manage the access control of users."
"By using this product the organization has moved from manual access governance done previously to automated governance which has a full audit trail, and this is very beneficial."
"From the perspective of its performance I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten, in light of its identity governance."
"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."
"On balance we find IdentityIQ to have the best mix of functionality and ease of use, as well as being the easiest and most flexible to deploy."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"It is a scalable product."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
"The interface is easy to use."
"The solution is simple to use."
 

Cons

"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"The UI is complex."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"Should have authentication modules as well"
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."
"Lacks the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"The scalability may not be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"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."
"They are expensive."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"It is affordable licensing."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"The solution is not cheap."
