Room For Improvement

Auth0 needs flexible admin, API support, better documentation, intuitive UI, lower pricing, improved authorization, and IoT integration.
SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is costly, complex, and lacks user-friendliness, necessitating better automation, support, customization, and integration.
The only area for improvement is that Auth0 Platform cannot handle requests for developing APIs for legacy systems, such as mainframe models, where ForgeRock and IBM Security Verify Access can be utilized.
Senior Manager And Vice President at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We must subscribe to a major plan to access most of their features. While this works well for larger companies, for small companies or those conducting POCs, this affects our budget allocation for other initiatives.
Lead Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
Auth0 Platform's documentation is excellent, their support organization is excellent, their code is robust, and it's certified as secure.
Principal Consultant at Building Block Technologies Inc.
SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta.
Technical Project Manager & Senior Security Architect at Tech Mahindra Limited
I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness.
Technical Support Analyst at CLSA
We have also put our enhancement request, and the SailPoint team has accepted that the feature is not available and plans to include it going forward.
Senior Manager Cybersecurity at LTI - Larsen & Toubro Infotech
 

Setup Cost

Auth0's pricing is competitive with a beneficial free tier, but some find costs high, especially for SAML.
SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is costly, with varying prices and separate fees, but offers discounts for long-term plans.
A downside I remember mentioning is that pricing can be high at scale, though that is not a product issue; it relates more to the nature of large enterprise solutions.
Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Considering the amount of features I use, such as multi-factor authentication, it is affordable and comparatively less for the features it is giving compared to other existing platforms.
Associate Software Engineer at a computer software company with 201-500 employees
They provide a large free tier that is beneficial to companies with applications just starting to scale their user base.
Principal Consultant at Building Block Technologies Inc.
SailPoint is cheaper than ServiceNow, which is very expensive.
Technical Support Analyst at CLSA
The pricing of SailPoint could be better.
Vice President Sales at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
The costs are slightly higher than SailPoint IQ due to included charges for maintenance.
Technical Project Manager & Senior Security Architect at Tech Mahindra Limited

Partner Account Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 51-200 employees
Identity workflows have transformed how we secure logins and manage user access daily
There are different elements to the best features Auth0 Platform offers, and I have touched on them, particularly the ability to help applications authenticate and authorize their users and manage their identities. A big point is identity federation, allowing connections across multiple identity providers, enabling users to log in using existing accounts due to databases and enterprise identity systems. A strong security feature is provided, particularly with their MFA, multi-factor authentication, which includes bot detection and brute-force protection, along with breached password detection, which is really good as an added extra. Auth0 Platform has positively impacted our organization, particularly in terms of usability. While we are not selling it directly, I find the platform easy to use for authenticating different users. Our own services team handles the implementation, so I cannot comment on the ease of that process. However, whenever we have had contracts and bids to roll out services, it has been really easy. We have seen improved security due to the implementation of Auth0 Platform. User management, such as creating and deleting users, is all about enhancing the user experience, which is massive. We assist with password resets and account linking. The time to implement is shorter, and we maintain a consistent user experience with a secure login flow, benefiting from a faster implementation due to the universal login, providing a hosted login page customizable by developers.

Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.
