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

"The most valuable features of Imprivata Identity Governance are automation and integration."
"The most valuable feature of Imprivata Identity Governance is the integrations it offers."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications."
 

Cons

"The GRC portion of the product still needs improvement."
"Imprivata Identity Governance could improve by allowing different permissions per application. You should be able to relegate what group has a certain level of access and another group has a different level of access. Currently, everyone has the same access. I believe this feature is supposed to be in version 7."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"The UI is complex."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."
"The connectors should be improved."
"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."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Imprivata Identity Governance's pricing is probably in the middle ballpark."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"They are expensive."
