Strong single sign on security comes packaged with simplicity in this on-premises-only solution
We do not have a huge usage load in our implementation of the product at our company. We know this because we have been working with clients and speaking with them as users and they literally have thousands of users on the product. Based on their testimonial and their lack of problems in performance, the scalability is there. In our company on our projects, we stay in the range of only hundreds of users, which is very small in comparison. As far as the number of people we require for maintenance, we are the level two maintenance with the vendor. To use and to configure on the client's side — for our clients — they really should never require in excess of one person full-time or the equivalent. Sign&Go has got a pretty low administrative requirement as far as maintenance is concerned. On our side, as far as the second level of support, I would say we get very few requests for actual issues with the product. The product stability is good. So, as far as running the maintenance on our end, we tend to only have a request is when a client needs to integrate a new workstation or do something else to expand their operations.

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 on-premises deployment meets restrictions and the end-user is able to control all the configuration in their own IT environment."
"Because of all these reasons and by comparison, we almost always recommended Ilex as the best solution for the sake of prompt and efficient project deployment."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The customer service is excellent, with quick response times and comprehensive support from the SailPoint team."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."
"The support is very good."
 

Cons

"There is no software as a service or PaaS (Platform as a Service) offering from Ilex. The only option is on-premises integration."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"They are expensive."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"The product must improve its support."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for 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."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"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."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"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 IIQ is the best of best. That is reflected in the pricing of the solution. The pricing is based on the number of identities."
