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

"It is a scalable product."
"The governance features, such as certification and provisioning, are the most beneficial for enhancing security."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"IdentityIQ deserves a rating of 12 out of ten for stability."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"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."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"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."
 

Cons

"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."
"The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve."
"I would rate the vendor support around five out of ten. Sometimes, the support is slow, and they often suggest resorting to expert services."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"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."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"The technical team wasn't very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"It's all competitive. Initially, the prices look a bit higher, but once it gets into a competitive situation, they meet the market. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing. It tends to be more expensive, but it works."
"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."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"The program is quite expensive."
