Featured Reviews

Mitch MO - PeerSpot reviewer
Adapts workflows with industry-specific flexibility for big companies
We find flexibility to be one of the most valuable features. The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility. Additionally, it is considered a good solution for large companies due to its scalability and ability to cater to the needs of many customers. It has also enhanced security and provided significant flexibility for our specifications module.
Daniel Ogola - PeerSpot reviewer
The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.
The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"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."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"The solution is very good at the management of the identity lifecycle."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
 

Cons

"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
"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."
"The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
"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."
"The connectors should be improved."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."
"Technical support can be improved."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"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."
"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."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
