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.
A flexible solution for application management, and facilitated centralization of our IAM
We use HelloID for ourselves and clients, so we need to manage a lot of client environments at once. Functionality to manage this situation is not yet available. When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The product feature is quite nice and simple, especially in terms of the UI and implementation."
"The Single Sign-On capabilities are endless and we haven't found a single app so far that couldn't be set up for SSO."
"Now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"You don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
 

Cons

"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."
"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"In general, I have handled Okta and OpenText and noted that those companies have a longer history in the market, which gives them an advantage over SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and Saviynt in aspects like account provisioning and life cycle management."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"Sometimes it generates a username that is not unique, but at the time of this writing, it is not possible to generate a new one that is unique."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"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."
"The solution is not cheap."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
