Initial setup was a bit complex because we needed to implement lots of workflows.
Self-service Workflow building Audit For the time when we have to implement re-certification for special accounts this was the best for our requirements. It would be better to have a PowerShell connector Documentation can be improved Performance tuning should be better I have been working on…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the time when we have to implement re-certification for special accounts this was the best for our requirements."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"Technical support is very responsive and when I created a ticket, they responded the same day."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"We are able to automate the entire process of joiners, movers, leavers and the provisioning and deprovisioning of identities."
"My advice to others is if you are new to the identity access management world, and you are starting with SailPoint IdentityIQ, you have the best tool in your hand to start with."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
 

Cons

"Performance tuning should be better."
"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."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added."
"Certifications could include additional access levels or practices."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"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."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"They are expensive."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
