Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil.""It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment.""The initial setup isn't so difficult.""The support is very good.""The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides.""One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface.""This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance.""It is a scalable product."

"The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment.""Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system.""There's also a 90-day policy where if a user is not using the warehouse, it will automatically delete that username."

Cons
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved.""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.""The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings.""If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI.""The product must improve its support.""The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now.""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 connectors are far too manual. This needs to be automated a bit."

"The product is very complicated.""There is one thing that if I add something manually, I get so many alerts. That's the biggest bad thing."
