Empower users with robust IT security and seamless approval workflows
I raise requests on SailPoint, for example, if there is any server-related access needed. I use it more as an end-user, like raising simple tickets for identity access management SailPoint is more focused on IT security. I find that the approvals that flow through SailPoint are much better than…
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

"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"It is a scalable product."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."
"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."
"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 is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
 

Cons

"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"The product must improve its support."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"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 pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
