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.

Cons

"One item I would like to see improved is the ability to clean the deeper parts of the machine with simplicity."
"Broke down several times during my 4 months but overall the delays were mostly minor."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"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."
"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."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"The solution, in general, is quite expensive."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The machine costs around five hundred thousand dollars."
"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."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"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."
"They are expensive."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
