SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

I use the solution in my company just to open some roles for new people or maybe those who need more particulars, so we just search for the roles and apply them to those. My company had dealt with some particular comments, like who had why the tool is needed and its justification in the business. , after which the managers approved it or whoever was in the top positions. It is basically for managing user access at the end of the day.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use. It has functionality that allows me to search for or compare with others.

I don't use SailPoint that much because I have a particular role in my company. Considering the time since I last used the tool, it doesn't need anything more.

The product is unable to share suggestions with users. For example, if I put something like ABC, the tool will not be able to say something that is related to it. In some other tools, if I just start with the initials, it will show me the whole thing, but with SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, I couldn't find it. If I am just searching for a role, like PR or something, or if I write PR, it should provide me with some suggestive rules, which may be two, three, five, or whatever the role numbers. I have to write the full name, and then it will appear.

I have been using SailPoint Identity Security Cloud for two years. I don't remember the version of the solution since the client who uses it will have to update it by themselves.

I did not experience any breakdowns or bugs in the product.

More than 100 people in my team use the product.

Our company's client, who uses the product, takes care of the technical support for the solution.

The product's initial setup phase is not so difficult, so it is easy. There are no installation-related issues with the product.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it.

One should definitely use the product since there are no prerequisites or things that you should know. The tool is very easy to use, and there is nothing in it that you should find very difficult to understand or learn.

It is easy for a beginner to learn to use the product for the first time.

I rate the product an eight out of ten.

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 product's most valuable features are identity access control and access certifications. 

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

I have been working with the product for seven years. 

The solution is stable as long as the implementation is correct. 

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ's scalability an eight out of ten. 

I haven't contacted the technical support team yet. 

SailPoint IdentityIQ's usability depends on how well it is implemented. To set up the product, you must configure it like a web application. This involves setting up a web server and determining the number of servers needed based on the site's requirements. The setup process can vary in complexity depending on the client's environment. It can take a day to complete. 

SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product. 

If a customer wants certain automation during the identity lifecycle - for example, when hiring someone, letting someone go, or moving someone from one organization to another - you can automate tasks based on various factors like their role or department. The product simplifies tasks, especially those where certain individuals require specific access levels based on their roles. With automation, administrators don't need to manually remember or assign access levels for each role or department. 

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten. 

The solution is brilliant in all aspects. SailPoint’s technical value exceeds what OpenText proposes. It is a really good product.

We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool.

I have been working with the tool since October 2023.

The tool is stable.

The tool is very scalable. Even if the implementation exceeds the number of users decided previously, the tool will fulfill the needs and will still be stable. The solution is not suitable for small companies. The cost will be high.

The support is very good. I rate the support team an eight and a half out of ten.

Positive

The implementation is straightforward. It depends on the environment and customers’ needs. However, it is easy.

The pricing must be improved. The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools. The solution must provide different prices for different countries. All countries are not equally rich.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is more efficient than Micro Focus. We chose SailPoint IdentityIQ because it is stable and the support is good.

We are distributors. Our main competitor is Micro Focus. It is now OpenText. I will recommend the product instead of other tools. It is one of the best IAM products in the market. The price is the only issue. Overall, I rate the tool an eight and a half out of ten.

The whole package is useful. It matches the item to the management, so I can't pinpoint any specific individual feature.

We are satisfied with the product overall. But the challenging point has been that we are buying the service and support from CyberIAM, but the SailPoint has remained unchanged. The average support has been a big disappointment.

Another problem we face is that we have around 450 to 500 data applications in our environment, and everyone wants customized identity management for their specific application. It takes a huge amount of time to onboard all of them, and maybe that's the only weakness.

I have been working with SailPoint IdentityIQ for two years. We have been implementing it for over two years now, but we are still in the process of getting all of our legacy applications on board.

It is a stable product.

It is a scalable product.

We are only the second customer in Europe who is using the consulting services. The majority of the service is with customers on the US side, and we have been fighting on this topic for at least 18 months, which has been quite a downside. But otherwise, technically, the platform is really good. We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support.

Neutral

The platform deployment was pretty easy. But when you start to onboard the applications, it becomes more complex. The whole configuration depends on the application architecture and how you should set it up. All the cases are different, and that can be quite challenging.

All of the good products, like SailPoint, are expensive. But when you qualify the cost and then have to weigh the benefits and opportunities it gives you, it's a bit difficult to say whether it's expensive. SailPoint is expensive on the market but also produces real value.

We had some smaller implementations with different products, but not similar ones.

We presented our project to a vendor and then did a proof of concept with several products before selecting SailPoint IdentityIQ.

It is suitable for both small and enterprise-level companies. I would advise reaching out to a company that has already implemented it and asking their experts how they feel about using it. Once you get benchmarking information, it becomes easy to make the decision.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten. There is room for improvement with regard to their technical support and complex configuration.

Our company uses the solution to manage the life cycle and access control of users. 

We implement for various clients in the banking or investment industries in the Middle East. We also have a couple of government customers. All customers use the solution for employee management.  

The access certification feature is valuable. 

The solution is very customizable. 

Certifications could include additional access levels or practices. 

On occasion, there are difficulties with the management control when you attempt to apply things in a certain manner. 

I have been using the solution for nine years. 

The stability is pretty good because it is a very customizable solution. If you don't know how to customize or if you make mistakes, then the solution can become unstable. 

If you have enough hardware to support the on-premises version, then the solution is scalable. You need enough hardware to support the number of identities you want to manage. 

Technical support is efficient and very, very good. If you raise a concern, support is readily available with a solution. Responses are received in a very timely manner. 

The setup is very, very easy. Identity IQ is the on-premises software for the solution and it is easy to setup. There are modules to install so the only thing you need is time to complete them. 

We implement the solution for customers. First you install and connect the web server. Then you install the database on top of it. If you want additional modules, then you can import the LT module on top. 

The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable. 

I highly recommend the solution and rate it a seven out of ten. 

I'm a consultant. I work with companies to evaluate it and sometimes help them implement it as well.

I'm using the most recent version. It's somewhere around version 8.

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. If it says it should be approved, then automatically approve it. It's definitely a time saver for a lot of people.

It has got a great user interface, and it just does the job.

It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works.

I have been using it for probably 15 years. 

Its stability is very good. It's running so well now. I'd rate it a nine out of ten in terms of stability.

Its scalability is awesome. They've got customers with over a million users, so it'll scale to what you need. It has a very scalable architecture.

I'm a consultant, and I implement it for clients. I've worked with clients from 5,000 users and up to about 400,000 users.

I'd rate them really high. They have a group called Expert Services. They rely on third parties like me or the big four, like the Deloittes and the PWs, to do the implementation, but they maintain a group that they call their Expert Services. It has about a hundred people you can go to for the hardest things. If you were on the edge of performance issues and any other issues, you can bring in their experts. It's a really good team. It's more expensive than the other guys, but it's worth it.

IdentityIQ is difficult to begin with, but compared to its competitors, it'd be an eight out of ten in terms of ease of setup.

The deployment duration varies. They've got examples of people being up and running in a month. For massive companies with hundreds or thousands of employees, it takes a couple of years to get fully implemented, but they've got ways where you can implement it almost by a business unit, so you can be up and running and then slowly, you add the rest of the company to the implementation.

In terms of the number of people required, the actual SailPoint team would be three to four people, and then they use the business analysts in the company to help onboard the application. That's a really nice methodology where I can spread the workload over a bunch of people instead of having to rely on one person and get those backlogs and lineups form. For example, I can have a business analyst from the business units I'm working with help me onboard applications. That really speeds it up.

In terms of the deployment model, they have a SaaS version, but you can do it on-prem, and you can also do it with the hybrid model.

It depends on your company, but I've seen ROIs in 14 to 18 months. So, it's great.

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've got such a big lead in the market from a capabilities point of view. They're going after the cloud, so they're doing a lot in the cloud management area and making that easier for clients to implement it for managing the applications in the cloud space or all their SaaS applications. That's one of the big areas. They just did the acquisition of SecZetta, which provides management for third parties. For partners and third parties you work with, it can help automate the management of access to those people.

I'd rate it a nine out of ten because what it does is hard. The work that they implement isn't simple because the companies are so big. It works and does the job. It's not the product that causes problems; it's generally working with the company and its processes, but the product is bulletproof.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is for identity and access management.

What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy.

The pricing for SailPoint IdentityIQ has room for improvement because it's more expensive than other products in the market. If there's a price reduction, that would be helpful.

Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers.

I want custom form building and custom workflow features added to SailPoint IdentityIQ in its next release.

I started using SailPoint IdentityIQ in 2015, so I have almost eight years of experience with it.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very stable product.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a scalable product.

The SailPoint IdentityIQ technical support can be a bit irritating when doing system inspections. When you have an issue and ask for help, support will tell you that you need professional support, not just regular support.

The technical support team could be more friendly.

I'd give SailPoint IdentityIQ support a three on a scale of one to five.

I've tried Saviynt but compared to SailPoint IdentityIQ, Saviynt isn't stable. It also has fewer features compared to what you get from SailPoint IdentityIQ. For me, SailPoint IdentityIQ is better because of its stability, and it offers many features. However, cost-wise, Saviynt is cheaper.

SailPoint IdentityIQ has a straightforward setup. I'd rate its setup a five out of five.

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.

I'm using SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityNow, and Auth0.

My rating for SailPoint IdentityIQ is eight out of ten.

My company is a SailPoint partner.

IdentityIQ is connected to all our target systems to manage access to various applications.

IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security.

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. In the next release, IdentityIQ should enable emails and reports through the UI instead of the code.

I've been using IdentityIQ for two years.

IdentityIQ is very stable.

IdentityIQ is scalable manually and automatedly.

The initial setup was easy, and the implementation was completed within four months.

I would rate IdentityIQ nine out of ten because the UI is really easy for end users to understand and use.

As an academic institution, we have HR students and third parties.

The solution’s stability and performance are good.

The primary difference fundamentally is the state of the identity over time. So, the point-in-time identity drives the identity management, and that will improve the integrity of the identity management.

The connectors should be improved.

We had issues with the stability of the solution.

The solution is very scalable.

30-50 users are using this solution.

The initial setup depends on the type of proposition.

The product’s pricing depends on strategic servers. It is affordable for us to sustain ourselves.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use SailPoint IdentityIQ mainly for employees. It's not a customer identity and access management tool. It's mainly for the workforce. All my clients choose SailPoint IdentityIQ because they need some tool that will govern and do the compliance at their end. We are mainly integrating all the applications for the organization, just like their HR, to do the governance in just one place, namely in SailPoint IdentityIQ. We're using SailPoint IdentityIQ for provisioning, granting access, taking access, automatic onboarding, and off-boarding. We also use SailPoint IdentityIQ for employees' joiner, mover, and leaver workflow. We use SailPoint IdentityIQ for automatically reprovisioning all the roles and accesses.

The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager. In addition, the password manager module is replacing the call center for any organization by doing self-service password services, resetting passwords, and unlocking accounts.

SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine. It doesn't compare to the autonomous engine that uses machine learning and deep learning in ForgeRock.

It would be great to have an autonomous engine that uses machine learning and deep learning to find orphan accounts, accesses not used by employees and extra accesses.

I have been doing a SailPoint IdentityIQ pre sales presentation for two years and a real product implementation for six months.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a stable solution, and I rate it a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ less than five out of ten for scalability. To increase scalability, you need to increase servers, which is not easy.

The technical support in the Middle East is being done through partners. SailPoint IdentityIQ has no physical presence in the Middle East except through its partners and distributors. However, SailPoint IdentityIQ's remote support is always available. SailPoint IdentityIQ's technical support is good because they are always available when the partners or the implementation team face any issues.

Positive

The initial setup of SailPoint IdentityIQ was very easy, and I rate it a ten out of ten. We have an automatic deployment engine, so the deployment takes around an hour, not long.

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

Our clients using SailPoint IdentityIQ are mainly in the banking sector, and the others are part of the Saudi Arabia government and ministry. For 12 years, SailPoint IdentityIQ twelve has been the leader of Gartner Magic Quadrant. All the market reports suggest SailPoint IdentityIQ when you're doing governance and compliance for your workforce. SailPoint IdentityIQ is even replacing other solutions like IBM and ServiceNow.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a stable and reliable workforce identity and access management solution. If you're looking for a solution for the workforce, you should opt for SailPoint IdentityIQ, and if you're looking for a solution for the customer base, you should choose ForgeRock.

Overall, I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a ten out of ten.
