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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance

One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable product."

"SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offers simplicity and a user-friendly interface, along with excellent support from SailPoint's company."

"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."

"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"

"Depending on the requirements, SailPoint IdentityIQ provides a lot of functionality that can suit any enterprise's requirements."

"Basically, how the entitlements are handled is very good; it's the complete lifecycle of entitlements, it offers a single source of truth, everything can be handled from one tier, and the interface is simple and very usable."

"We like the integration with other systems."

"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"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 offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."

"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."

"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."

"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."

Cons

"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."

"I wish the support from SailPoint was a little bit faster than we've experienced so far. It has taken, sometimes, a couple of weeks to get feedback from them."

"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."

"It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net."

"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."

"The UI is complex."

"The cost of this solution is high."

"The interface should be simple and easier to use."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good."

"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."

"The usability of the solution isn't the best."

"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 backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."

"The program is quite expensive and I am not impressed by their technical support."

"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."

"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."

More Veritas Alta SaaS Protection cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."

"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."

"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."

"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."

"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."

"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."

"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."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."

"The program is quite expensive."
