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.
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 big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"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."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"Building and expanding a directory tree for my customers was the most valuable tool."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"SailPoint support is very good."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"The thing we like the most is that this software is so easy to use; you don't need to be a specialist in Identity and Access Management solutions to understand the software and configure it."
"The most valuable feature is the option to use SSO from different sources such as Microsoft AD, ADFS, Azure AD, SAML, form-based, etc."
"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."
"This solution helped us with centralizing our IAM; it was spread out over many places, and now we can easily control who has access to which client or client application."
"By giving users the ability to fully manage their own workspace, while still being able to monitor and administer such actions, we can focus on new-business and projects as we like."
 

Cons

"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."
"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"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."
"When something needs to be changed with the sign-on policies, we have to apply this manually to every client environment that we have."
"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."
"I would like to have the built-in provisioning module improved."
"Integration with other Tools4ever applications such as SSRPM and IAM would be nice."
 

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."
"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."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It is affordable licensing."
"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."
"In terms of costs and pricing, this solution is worth every penny."
"Since HelloID is very reasonably priced, the return-on-investment is fast."
