Featured Reviews

Jonathan Cauthorn - PeerSpot reviewer
Identity and Access Management Manager at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
Simplifies the task of managing groups and is affordable and easy to implement
I'd like to see it be able to do more than just groups. I'd like it to be able to do some things with email distribution lists as well. It can do that, but there were a few things that were limiting. It was difficult to get it set up, particularly with Azure in the cloud. I'd like that to be a little bit smoother. I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools. We've got a ton of groups, and it does take quite a while to do nightly processing. This is something that definitely needs improvement.

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 each job code, we go through and determine the access they're supposed to have to the system. Based on that job code, we use the query tool and say that anybody who is in this job code gets these groups added to them, or conversely, if they change job codes, it removes the ones that they shouldn't have and adds the one they should. That runs every night, and the next day, everybody has the job codes they're supposed to have."
"Imanami GroupID's UI is good."
"I have found the overall features to be useful."
"I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"It provides one solution for the entire process in a complex environment with different types of applications and connectors."
 

Cons

"The product's implementation is complex. It should also work on GPO."
"I'd like to see a better user interface. It works, but it is clunky. There should be better import and export of LDAP queries and better management tools."
"The mobile application needs to be improved and there should be chatbox features to allow users to easily reach out for assistance."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"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."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is on a yearly basis, and it has the product license fee and the support for it. So, there is the licensing fee, and there is the annual maintenance that includes the support. I don't remember exactly, but we're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000 to $30,000 for it per year. We've got a pretty large implementation of it, and for the amount that we do, it is a pretty good deal. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"The solution is not cheap."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
