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.

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."

Cons

"It tends to be more expensive, but at the end of the day, it works."

"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."

"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."

"The price is very high"

"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."

"Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap."

"The user interface needs some work. It could be more user-friendly."

"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"The technical team wasn't very helpful."

"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."

"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."

"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."

"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."

"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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."

"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."

"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."

"It is affordable licensing."

"I found the pricing to be relatively high."

"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."

"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."

"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."
