Cons

"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."

"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's. I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness."

"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."

"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."

"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."

"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."

"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."

"Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code."

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"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."

"They are expensive."

"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."

"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."

"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."
