Centralized identity governance has automated lifecycle management and simplifies compliance
One Identity Manager could be improved by making the initial setup and configuration simpler, especially for complex workflows and integrations. The user interface and reporting dashboards could also be more modern and intuitive with better out-of-the-box analytics. Additionally, clearer documentation and faster implementation guidance would help organizations get value more quickly. One specific challenge my team encountered was the complexity during initial configuration, especially when setting up custom workflows and role models which required more time and expertise. We also felt that out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are limited, and more customizable real-time analytics would be helpful. Better documentation and guided setup wizards would make adoption easier, particularly for teams new to identity governance tools. One improvement I think One Identity Manager needs is the enhanced self-service experience. The end-user self-service portal could be more intuitive with clearer guidance for access requests and password resets. Additionally, while integrations are solid, deeper cloud-native connectors and API-driven automation would help in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. A more responsive mobile interface or dedicated app for approvals and tasks would help managers who are often on the go. One more improvement is the built-in predictive insights or trend dashboards around access patterns and risk could improve proactive governance. More descriptive error messages and in-tool troubleshooting tips during setup configuration would reduce dependency on external documentation or support.

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.

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of the most valuable feature of One Identity Manager, it's not like one feature is useful without the other features. It's not a tool, but it's more an overall integrated solution that is helpful and not specifically one solution on its own. The best points of One Identity Manager would be its process orchestration and synchronization manager."
"This is almost a complete solution for us."
"There were significant productivity benefits over our previous platform with the increased automation which took the process of onboarding staff down from days to minutes."
"For example, with our financial system, reviews used to take two-and-a-half months to complete and now we have 90 percent compliance within two days."
"We have reduced about 60 percent of our help desk calls, especially for onboarding and simple tasks that do One Identity automation."
"Nobody has to put people in AD groups by hand anymore. It goes automatically and that's very good. It's also very flexible. It's quite easy to customize and we have customized it a lot."
"Workflow management is an important feature. With other identity management products, there was no workflow management so we had to build it ourselves."
"For me, personally, the automation is the most valuable feature. I don't have to do things manually, like creating user accounts and provisioning them to the target systems."
"We decided to go with SailPoint because, as a company, they are flexible, their partner discounts are good, and SailPoint is a really good new generation company."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"On balance we find IdentityIQ to have the best mix of functionality and ease of use, as well as being the easiest and most flexible to deploy."
"From the perspective of its performance I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten, in light of its identity governance."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offers simplicity and a user-friendly interface, along with excellent support from SailPoint's company."
"It's easy to manage and easy to use; a simple tool for end-users."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
"The first valuable feature is the approach to solving the identity problem, where access risk is the focus of solving any problem, and the second is their deeper integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS, which gives Saviynt an edge."
"Saviynt has improved our organization, as it is a straightforward solution that allows you to configure things very fast, partly because of the JSON and Autobox functionality."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"Saviynt has a lot of potential with many features available for users."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
 

Cons

"The dashboard needs a lot of improvement, and reports need to be updated and improved to provide more insights about our data."
"The downside of the product is it is complex and you need an implementation partner to help you develop it. You can't do it on your own."
"Some internal structures are in place because of already depreciated functions back from the time when the solution was used for software deployment and as a help desk."
"When we try to read a huge number of records, such as from SuccessFactors HR with the Starling connector, the sync project sometimes lags."
"The product is quite scalable, except for the database which is not highly available."
"The response was not what I expected."
"The interface can be a bit complex for an administrator to manage."
"We have seen a little ROI when there was a restructuring reduction in the market for user management teams, but not enough to cover the cost of the project."
"The license is expensive and the deployment is expensive."
"The price is very high"
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"It is time-consuming to troubleshoot issues."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing for One Identity Manager is per user, per carbon life, specifically, it's per people, and not a per-identity licensing model. For example, if I have two hundred people, or if I have someone with several identities, I'm only paying for it once. I don't remember the exact cost of One Identity Manager because I wasn't the one who paid for the license."
"The price of One Identity Manager is cheaper than SailPoint."
"Start with an operations team that is motivated to learn a lot in a short period of time. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will be to get the right level of expertise in this area."
"It is fairly priced because they provide all the features by default. That is why they charge a bit more than other vendors. I am not sure about the exact cost part, but One Identity is a little bit more expensive than IBM and other tools."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"One Identity Manager has a reasonable price point."
"On-premises, it is cheap. It is way cheaper than others. The cost of the hosted one varies. They do offer a hosted one, and its cost varies, but it is not that expensive. You have a license for employees and a license for support."
"It needs flexibility in the licensing or packaging, because you buy the entire package at once, and sometimes the customers are a bit overwhelmed with whatever they get. I would like if they could cut the licensing or packaging into somewhat smaller things."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
