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."

"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."

"The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its integration with Slack for the notification of access requests."

"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."

"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."

Cons

"One item I would like to see improved is the ability to clean the deeper parts of the machine with simplicity."

"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."

"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."

"The mover process for this solution could be improved."

"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."

"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."

"The product must improve its support."

"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."

"They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same."

"I found the pricing to be relatively high."

"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

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