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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would definitely recommend One Identity Manager."
"The best features of One Identity Manager are the synchronization project, the mapping, onboarding using CSV, and the designer tool which allows us to write our own custom workflows."
"The biggest improvement has been the auditing, as now we have a record of what the users have, what the users have requested and when, and when things were approved, all in the same system."
"The most valuable features are the behavior, configuration, and customization options."
"It gives the best user experience, enabling us an overview of all user entitlements."
"One Identity Manager is a very robust tool with plenty of out-of-the-box features in the identity and access management space, and it is very easy to customize and fits for very complex platforms."
"The SAP integration is One Identity Manager's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are centralized Identity Management, robust Access Governance, and One Identity Manager workflow automation."
"Basically, how the entitlements are handled is very good; it's the complete lifecycle of entitlements, it offers a single source of truth, everything can be handled from one tier, and the interface is simple and very usable."
"We achieve two returns in the investment in a SailPoint implementation."
"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 reduces the operational overhead of audits."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very good product (in my opinion - it is the best product and it took the leading place in Gartner's Magic Quadrant two years in a row) and I can recommend it to all who are looking for a very strong IDM solution (if the price suits you)."
"SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offers simplicity and a user-friendly interface, along with excellent support from SailPoint's company."
"For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil."
"For v8.4, you can work easily if you stick to OOTB, however, should you require customization, then the tool is very flexible using SQL/VB knowledge to extend."
"The self-service functionality for password/access management reduced our need for manual intervention."
 

Cons

"There is a small area inside the administrator's GUI that could be a little bit more organized."
"The One Identity Manager web portal needs simplification."
"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."
"We fell into that trap of over-customization which made upgrading the product difficult."
"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."
"It has problems with performance. This is a very serious issue for us. Other than that, it's really capable. The performance is what is missing. It's really poor."
"A major area for improvement is Web Designer. If One Identity Manager advances this, it will greatly benefit all customers."
"The One Identity Manager documentation could be improved."
"I don't believe I would recommend the solution. I'd advise other organizations to use NetIQ instead."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"Reporting lacks the flexibility of retrieving the vast amount of data that we know is in the database, but not easily accessible."
"Although it seems to be getting better, for each deployment it seems a new set of bugs appear. There has never been a deployment where we have not encountered a product bug."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"Stability was a constant concern. The application was plagued with memory leak issues from initial installation and through multiple major/minor version upgrades."
"Moving from v7.x to v8.x is not easy. You need Courion expertise and skills to upgrade and migrate the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have the premium support and are very satisfied. They are always answer our questions very quickly. For the moment, we are very satisfied, but I think it's because we are paying for the premium support."
"It helps us save on licenses for applications because we are following the account lifecycle, as well as account reactivation."
"The pricing is okay."
"One Identity Manager is priced in the middle range but offers good value due to lower implementation time compared to competitors. Total cost of ownership is crucial where the main expense is in implementation, not licensing."
"One Identity Manager's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"One Identity isn't cheap for small or medium-sized businesses, but I don't think it's necessary for a small company to use. The price is fair for large enterprises with thousands of employees that want to adopt a zero-trust model."
"We are paying for premium support, which is expensive. However, we do receive very good, fast support."
"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"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 pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
