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.

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

"This solution has made my client's customers' journeys a lot better."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"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."
"From the perspective of its performance I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten, in light of its identity governance."
"It reduces the operational overhead of audits."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. 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."
"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."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
"Saviynt is easy to configure and manage."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"Technical Support: It needs to improve SLA."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"Complex configuration if you want to have AD forest architecture in place."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"The connectors should be improved."
"The scalability is a question mark because they have not been successful in the places where you have 200,000 to 300,000 identities."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"We sometimes experience performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"We sometimes have performance issues when the solution fails to process the data between two different applications."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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 found the pricing to be relatively high."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"In terms of pricing, SailPoint IdentityIQ is affordable. It's not cheap, and it's not expensive, so the solution is in the middle, price-wise. It also didn't have additional costs, even if my company had different teams that took care of auditing and provisioning and projects that used SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"They are expensive."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
