Featured Reviews

Jon Fitrzyk - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of IT Services at Braden IT Services
Decreases user onboarding and offboarding time, and invaluable for discussing shadow IT and security
One of the most valuable features of Auvik SaaS Management is the insights into user applications and the security around that. We can understand and get full visibility into what end-users are using. Most organizations can list off the top five apps that they use but, lo and behold, we're able to discover that there are 30 or 40 apps in use within the organization that nobody knew about. From a security standpoint, helping to track those down is very critical and Auvik SaaS Management allows us to do that. The single sign-on detection feature is also very important. If we have single sign-on, we can see what they're leveraging that sign-on to gain access to. And an extremely important component of Auvik SaaS Management is the reporting engine. It allows us to perform assessments and sit down with organizations to review what they're actually doing with their SaaS apps. Typically, when we come in, they have no idea how many SaaS apps they have out there. They might not know that someone in accounting or someone in marketing just purchased something to accomplish a task. The reporting gives us visibility into that and is done in a fashion in which it's very easy to understand, with some of the executive summaries. We don't have to spend time having technical discussions about what the information means. We're able to have the discussion of what it means to the business and for solving problems there. The reporting is absolutely critical and they do a good job of it.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are application monitoring and reporting. I like putting all the filters on the report to get the desired results. Reporting is one of the essential features we use, depending on what is required. I run it monthly or quarterly. We have some reports scheduled to run monthly to track new applications coming in. We're good at going through them and classifying them."
"The license monitoring and management capabilities probably top the list of most valuable features in terms of everyday day utility. You can go to customers and say, "You have 100 licenses of Office 365 E3, but you only use 95, so we can adjust your licensing and save you some money.""
"The most valuable feature is the identification of the various user names used to log into apps that are critical in terms of data security."
"Auvik SaaS Management gives us the tools to classify the applications from a management standpoint. It also provides an overview of when various software might be up for renewal on an agreement."
"The ability to see what accounts and services are being accessed at any given time is valuable, and that's also true for most of my clients. Another good use is time management. If one of my clients asks me, "Hey, how long is John accessing Dropbox throughout the day?" I can do that with Auvik SaaS Management. Auvik SaaS Management can give me a report on the usage of a single user."
"We use the solution to track unauthorized apps our employees use so we can talk to them or block the apps at the firewall if needed. More importantly, we track shared credentials and services employees access on company devices, especially when someone's leaving. If someone had access to a shared account, which we try to avoid, but if there was one with a logged-in password, we can change it when we off-board the employee or shut down their account."
"When we offboard an employee, we know which applications that employee used. For example, let's say Bob left the company, but we don't know all the applications he used. We can run a report showing everything Bob accessed, giving us some leverage to go back to the client and say, "Hey, these are all the applications he used. We manage these, and you still need to take care of these." It gives us expectations to provide to our clients."
"We can understand and get full visibility into what end-users are using. Most organizations can list off the top five apps that they use but, lo and behold, we're able to discover that there are 30 or 40 apps in use within the organization that nobody knew about."
"The product feature is quite nice and simple, especially in terms of the UI and implementation."
"This solution has made our team more effective. We need less manual approvals when someone new joins our company. There is less paperwork and fewer support tickets raised for access."
"Customization of workflows as per business needs is easy and the most effective part is certification for easy compliance and access monitoring and revokes extra access if any."
"It is a scalable product."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"We decided to go with SailPoint because, as a company, they are flexible, their partner discounts are good, and SailPoint is a really good new generation company."
"It is simple and easy to implement."
 

Cons

"The web portal isn't very intuitive, especially for me. I struggle while creating permissions to allow clients to do the portal. It was a little tricky, but I was able to contact people from Auvik SaaS Management, and they helped me."
"The user interface and some of the application classification features could be improved. I'd love the ability to bulk-edit some of the applications."
"One area for improvement in the tool , which they said might be on the roadmap, is better integration of features like tagging product owners, leaving notes, and setting statuses such as pending review, approved, deployed, etc. I want to use the product to write notes under an application, like when people start using the Brave Browser, and tag Billy Bob, who manages it. I want a report showing all the products Billy Bob owns, along with associated notes, so I can discuss everything with him in one meeting. Currently, I have to click on each application individually and copy and paste notes elsewhere, which isn't efficient."
"They've started working on integrations with other platforms for sharing data across other tools that are commonly used in the industry. I'd like to see that continue to improve. They do have to make the integrations deeper."
"They're working on Auvik's ability to detect when people are using multifactor authentication, but some more automation in that area would be nice."
"The reporting is excellent, but it could always be better. Sometimes we'd like the reports to be in different formats. Auvik SaaS Management could also be better integrated with some of our other tools. It's like an island unto itself, but we're an Autotask shop. We use Datto RMM and Autotask PSA. It'd be great to see Auvik SaaS Management alerts in our Autotask tools."
"Integration with macOS and Apple devices could be better. I believe this is something they're working on, but it needs a little more work."
"Before Auvik bought Saaslio, we struggled with the single sign-on because it would sign you off quickly. I would be presenting to my clients on the software or categorizing, like, "Hey, what is this app used for?" When I was inside Saaslio, it would kick me out, so I would have to log back in."
"Although it seems to be getting better, for each deployment it seems a new set of bugs appear. There has never been a deployment where we have not encountered a product bug."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"Technical Support: It needs to improve SLA."
"Dashboards – whilst better and more feature rich than a number of competing products, they are still nowhere near the functionality one gets from dedicated portal and analytics tools (eg. drill-downs, comparative views, etc.)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is great. It doesn't get any better. I told their CEO, "I feel like I'm stealing it from you." I'm serious because the price is amazing."
"There is definitely value from Auvik SaaS Management, so I don't think it's outrageously priced. There's always room for evolution of the model, depending on how the platform is being leveraged."
"Auvik SaaS Management is priced well. It's a no-brainer for us to implement it."
"The solution's pricing and licensing model are fair and based on users rather than devices, which helps consolidate tracking and licensing costs."
"I think Auvik SaaS Management's pricing is great. We're a managed services company, and one site license covers all our clients."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"I rate the solution a seven on a scale where one is cheap and ten is too expensive. In short, the solution falls under the higher side of pricing."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"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."
