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.

Valuable features include access request and certification. Application integration, reporting, and certification could be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Simplified Access Governance and Life Cycle Management, easy to implement in comparison to other IAM tools."
"The support is very good."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the right things."
"Provisioning in multiple environments."
"This solution has made my client's customers' journeys a lot better."
"Automated accounts provisioning during the on-boarding process."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"From the perspective of its performance I would rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten, in light of its identity governance."
"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's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"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 interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI."
"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"The UI is complex."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"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

"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"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."
"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."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
