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.

The ability to customize the UI would be good nonetheless, it is still a great interface.
Don't get overwhelmed with the product, and give an honest effort in trying to implement it yourself. You will find that you have opened an enormous door for yourself to get anything done. Since I started using UMRA, any request that comes through my desk is almost immediately possible because I know what UMRA can do. Also, creating the projects yourself, will save you time and money in the future when updates are needed to existing projects. Tools4Ever technical support is always available to answer questions if you get stuck. That said, UMRA is primarily a user management tool for your users, in whatever directory you happen to be using; So my statement above will only apply if you are also quite well versed with the workings of said directory.

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 stable and flexible; we didn't have any issues with it, there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it's reliable."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"Technical support is very responsive and when I created a ticket, they responded the same day."
"SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offers simplicity and a user-friendly interface, along with excellent support from SailPoint's company."
"I am satisfied with the overall performance and stability."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"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."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
"UMRA has been in production for seven years, and I can confidently say that I have never had a single issue with stability, even through upgrades."
 

Cons

"The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"Scalability, however, can only happen vertically on any particular instance, as opposed to horizontally."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"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."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
