Principle at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
User access management excels but needs enhancements with integration capabilities
I was aware of that because I used to manage these solutions earlier on, but it was purchased by the Procurement team, so I was not involved in any of those.There are certain details I may not be able to disclose currently, but we can speak in general about a number of products and tools that are ongoing. I have not been using access management controls here, so I don't have the latest features or details or hands-on experience in that space. I cannot share all the details about the improvements in security operations since we were exploring some products, but I'm familiar with Saviynt as I was one of their partners for other solutions, and currently, I cannot disclose a lot of performance related to my current roles.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has improved our organization because it is fast, accurate, and easy to maintain."
"I think the certification module is perhaps one of the most valuable features."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"Customization of workflows as per business needs is easy and the most effective part is certification for easy compliance and access monitoring and revokes extra access if any."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"I find the solution to be comprehensive."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment."
 

Cons

"One item I would like to see improved is the ability to clean the deeper parts of the machine with simplicity."
"They are expensive."
"Yes, I found some scalability issues: Java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Advanced searches with 0 rows."
"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."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The machine costs around five hundred thousand dollars."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"They are expensive."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
"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 solution is not cheap."
"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."
