Comprehensive identity governance and compliance solution offering robust integration capabilities, extensive reporting features and a user-friendly interface
It effectively streamlined our user access management processes, serving as a central hub within our enterprise ecosystem. With various credentialing IdentityIQ access management solutions in place across the organization, SailPoint integrated seamlessly with these systems. It ingested events from these sources, generated reports, and initiated outgoing events and triggers to facilitate appropriate actions based on user and supervisor actions. The policy management and risk-scoring capabilities of SailPoint IdentityIQ greatly benefited our organization. While we primarily focused on policy enforcement based on written guidelines for identity lifecycle management, we didn't extensively utilize a risk-based approach, as that fell under a separate area of resource management. However, within the policy feature set, SailPoint provided robust options. We were able to categorize users into different groups, such as office users, retail channel users, and backend users. Additionally, we could apply role-based access controls and differentiate between temporary and permanent employees, full-time and part-time staff, and those with specific time-based access requirements or temporary assignments within the organization. The implementation of IdentityIQ significantly impacted our IT audit and compliance activities. SailPoint was introduced in response to an audit observation, as no prior system was in place and everything relied on manual processes. This lack of automation resulted in gaps and oversights. Implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ for attestation and governance effectively addressed this audit observation and closed the compliance gap. It played a crucial role in addressing a complex identity management challenge within our company, particularly in the area of credential cleanup. Given the large user population, a dedicated team within the IAM pillar focused on this task. Before SailPoint, it was common to encounter instances where user identities remained active even after individuals had moved roles or left the company. For example, credentials associated with finance or treasury functions would still be accessible, even if the user had transitioned to a different department. Similarly, sensitive data access, such as payroll and HR systems, posed risks if not appropriately managed post-employee departure. SailPoint streamlined the process of managing these identities, effectively identifying and addressing instances where inactive accounts lingered, sometimes for extended periods, thus enhancing overall security and compliance efforts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature was conducting the automation of our cloud and all services of the Active Directory."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard. They allow me to see everything in real-time and drill down and pick and choose versus running scripts."
"Almost every feature of the solution is valuable to me. This includes the importing and exporting to the active directory from the CSC firewall."
"It makes our job easier, especially for managing data for a bulk of users."
"Simple with good automation."
"The solution offers very good reports for management purposes."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"It is a stable solution."
"The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things."
"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."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"The solution is one of the main security products you need to control access and have visibility into what's happening in your organization. It helps with managing access to applications, ensuring governance, and obtaining certifications."
"Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality."
 

Cons

"The bulk email ID creation must be improved. I had to create 50 to 60 IDs manually because when I tried the bulk option, it didn't work. I still had to cross-verify because some fields were empty."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"It would be nice if the solution offered some sort of brochure with some high-level information that would help sell it to management. If they had details around how much time it saves an engineer, for example, to show the ROI, it would be helpful."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"The solution is very complex, especially when there's an active directory of more than 1,000 users, which makes it hard to administrate. They need to improve the management of the administrative process."
"I think the cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect."
"With the number of available integrations these days, it would be beneficial to have more ready-to-integrate technologies in other products as well."
"Lacks sufficient integration with management tools."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"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 product must improve its support."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"I would like to see more Cloud management from this product."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"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."
"Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"It is not expensive."
"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"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 solution is not cheap."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"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 licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is too expensive for small and medium companies. It is an expensive product."
