User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities
I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

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

Pros

"It has allowed us to have a central system for handling security profiles for all users on different target systems e.g. Oracle, Unix, and Active Directory."
"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"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."
"Building and expanding a directory tree for my customers was the most valuable tool."
"Depending on the requirements, SailPoint IdentityIQ provides a lot of functionality that can suit any enterprise's requirements."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
 

Cons

"This product launches a request to add or remove accesses on different target systems but it doesn't check that the access granted was previously requested."
"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"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."
