SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

There are a lot of use cases. About 90% of our clients are using this solution for internal identity management. Only one client is using SailPoint for external customers. 

About 70% or 80% of deployments are on the cloud, and about 30% or 20% of deployments are on-premise. We have two customers who have on-premise deployments.

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.

They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same.

We have been using this solution for three years.

It is absolutely stable.

It is scalable. It can support tens of millions of identities. We have a total of nine clients. Eight clients use it internally. One client is using SailPoint for external customers, and it is a very large deployment. They have about a million and a half customers.

We do not offer support because support is provided by SailPoint, but we can act as the first line of support. We have around seven people who are actively doing SailPoint tasks.

Their support is very good. My colleagues, as well as our customers, have shared that the support is very good.

We had some experience with Microsoft and IBM in the past, but these solutions are not so good. They're very expensive, and Microsoft and IBM are not flexible in pricing. 

We decided to go with SailPoint because, as a company, they are flexible. Their partner discounts are also good. SailPoint is a really good company. It is a new generation company like some of the other competitors and vendors.

Its installation is easy, but it depends on how many and what types of identity sources you have. If you have well-defined sources, such as active directory, LDAP directory, or some other application directories, it is very easy, but if you have only databases with identities, it could be challenging. It is not always easy to deploy identity management solutions in organizations because there are too many identity sources that have to be integrated.

The deployment duration depends on the scale, complexity, and number of sources. Typically, in enterprise organizations, it could take from six to nine months to cover the whole organization. It can even take a year. For customers with less than 20,000 or 30,000 active users, you can deploy it in less than three months.

Its price is okay. It provides good value for money.

It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription.

I would absolutely recommend this product. It is a good product.

I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a nine out of ten.

The use case is different for each client but most companies are generally looking for compliance, password management and user life cycle management. We have a partnership with SailPoint and implement this solution for our customers. I'm a senior manager. 

I like the life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features. They have very good, large-scale connectors. The solution enables a high level of flexibility in customization. SailPoint is a leader in its field and has a long-term product development view. 

The product is very good and doesn't have many limitations and is very easy to deploy. You will need an SME Team for Deployment and to bring an ROI.

One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation.

We have been implementing these solutions since 2015 and SailPoint is a wonderful product, it covers all the features required and the best part is it has both on-prem and SaaS models available. Our customers are very happy and have gained an ROI.

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable, the majority of our customers are enterprise-size companies. 

The technical support is wonderful. 

Positive

The initial setup is very easy. There are no challenges with the implementation.  The deployment strategy depends upon the kind of applications you want to integrate. Implementation time is based purely on your number of connectors, the kinds of applications, and the user environment. 

It's important to look at the product and its functionalities. Technology is a continuous journey, and if you want to have an identity management program, then SailPoint is a good option. They have a long-term vision that a company like Microsoft does not have. If somebody wants to have a good product for the long term then IdentityIQ provides that. 

I rate this product 10 out of 10.

It is used on provisioning accounts, all the crude operations and enterprise resources. So an enterprise may have a different resource like SuccessFactor, Oracle or Microsoft. SailPoint IdentityIQ does the provisioning operation for all the users, which onboards it into the company enterprise. It also does the de-provisioning operations for all the users who leave the organization.

In between, it manages and maintains the accounts. Depending on the requirements, SailPoint IIQ provides a lot of functionality that can suit any enterprise's requirements.

It is simple and easy to implement.

Several resources and applications are entering the cybersecurity market, so if SailPoint IdentityIQ can provide a connector or a way to integrate all those resources, it would be good. For example, there is a connector in CyberArk, but it is not a direct connector. They go via Skim Server, and latency is experienced.

We have been using this solution for more than ten years. We are using version 8.3, and it is deployed on-premises.

It is a stable product. 

It is a scalable solution. We have more than 50 people using this solution.

The technical support is good.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment time depends on the customer's requirements. If we are using our maximum resources, it takes about ten days.

It is a licensed product, but I am unsure of the exact cost.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten because it is simple and easy to implement and develop. Regarding advice, it is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net. If they get a corporate account, they can create the account via corporate email ID only. Therefore, I would recommend focusing on implementation. In addition, choosing the latest release minus one is good because it is always a stable product because clients have already tested and implemented it in their environment. So instead of taking additional risks, it can be tested by other clients first.

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.

We primarily use the solution to manage the identity governance, from creating the IDs and their accesses to managing and revoking them. 

An issue needing improvement is that the solution is heavily focused on one's identity, while there has been a move to providing identity as a security service. While it provides these services, the solution can still not do the identity management for the cloud. As such, the security feature can be improved.

Essentially, it manages and helps to create all the IDs and to manage the identities and accesses. What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security. That's where tools like CyberArk or Netskope, which are more CASB tools, come into play.

I can think of no additional features needing improvement. 

I do not personally deal with SailPoint IdentityIQ but, as a security consultant, discuss with the customer its purchase. I have been doing so for three years.

The solution is pretty stable and simple to use.

The solution is scalable. 

I have not had experience with technical support.

The installation consists of two parts, the one for coming up with the rules, for which we go to the input, the other for providing some assistance in the creation of the rules and accesses. Once that part is done, the tooling part is pretty simple.

The installation is straightforward. 

I do not recall how long it took. 

The solution can be deployed both on-cloud and on-premises?

It's pretty stable and simple to use.

I have recommended the solution to three customers who have opted for it.

I would recommend this solution to others. 

From the perspective of its performance I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten, in light of its identity governance. 

We use it to automate onboarding and offboarding processes.

The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube. 

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.

It should also have more standard connectors. Its price should also be reduced.

I have been using this solution for more than 15 years.

It is surely stable.

It is scalable.

I have not interacted with their technical support.

Its initial setup is not straightforward. No identity management solution is straightforward.

It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced.

If you want to use a non-Microsoft application, then, for sure, go with SailPoint, but if your use cases are only using Microsoft applications, then go with Microsoft.

I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a seven out of 10.

We primarily use the solution for regular connectors with LVAT connectors, Workday connectors, and Provision.

You can scale the solution if you need to.

The solution is stable and reliable.

The solution has plenty of places that need improvement and attention.

The connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit.

The provision is not very intuitive. The interface is not user-friendly at all. They could redesign a lot of its functionality to make it easier to use.

The initial setup could be simplified. It's difficult right now.

Implementations rarely go well.

I can't think of other features that I would like to see in a future release.

I've been using the solution for about ten years now. It's been a long time - a decade at this point.

The solution is reliable. It doesn't have bugs or glitches that affect its performance. It doesn't crash. It's stable.

You can scale the solution quite easily. That wouldn't be a problem for a company.

I have experience with NetIQ, and I prefer it to this solution.

The initial setup isn't really complex, but it is difficult. It could be simplified in many ways. Right now, it's not straightforward. Up to 80% of implementations do not go to plan.

We handled the implementation ourselves. We didn't use an integrator or reseller to assist us during the initial setup. It was all handled in-house.

Our organization does not have any business relationship with the product.

I don't believe I would recommend the solution. I'd advise other organizations to use NetIQ instead. It's a better solution, in my opinion.

I'd rate the solution five out of ten overall.

 80% of my job is handling a software spike. If the project has failed, then I'm the one coming in to help clients and doing it for them. I've noticed that 80% of all SailPoint implementations do not go well.

We used this solution in one of our projects for provisioning rights in applications such as Active Directory and Office 365. It was also used for collecting information and centralizing it, which was then used to create rights.

There is a lot of documentation available.

The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources.

This solution is difficult to configure.

The interface should be simple and easier to use.

I have been working with SailPoint IdentityIQ for five months.

Technical support is very responsive. When I created a ticket, they responded the same day.

I had questions, more than issues when it came to technical support.

The project that I worked on involved an on-premises deployment, although it can also be deployed on the cloud or in a hybrid cloud environment.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to not begin without having the specification written and documented in advance. If you are implementing it for a client then you want to understand everything that the client wants to use, in advance of implementing.

SailPoint is very good when it comes to Identity Management, although I would appreciate it more if it were simpler to use.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
