Scalable access governance system that removes manual approvals and makes teams more productive
We use this solution for identity governance and to understand who has access to what and whether that access should be granted or not. We also use it for access to recertification automation which provides a complete report of who has what access in the organization at the press of a button. We…

Provides flexible data ingestion and good optimization and data analysis
It is an excellent tool that helps us optimize threat-hunting operations, detect intrusive events on the network, and respond to security incidents. It is a tool that helps debug false positives and eliminate noisy alerts. It helps us focus on the alerts that we should take into account for analysis. Using old, traditional SIEMs did not provide us with the same responsiveness and ability to operate. And if they did provide us with something similar, we needed more staff to review things, event by event. That meant some risky events could occur unnoticed. With Securonix, those issues no longer exist. Securonix shows us information that we must consider as a threat and helps us know when to start an investigation to avoid an incident. It's very good at adding contextual information to security events. It has reduced the time spent by admins on the dashboard. They can now see information connected to attack risks or even users. The single dashboard alerts them and quickly reports if there is any threat. It has helped us to better understand what is happening in our network through the indicators of compromise. We have saved days of work. And it optimizes the time that analysts take to review events, compared to other tools that do not have as much intelligence and as many indicators. With Securonix, the information automatically enters and adds intelligence to the indicators. This saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent reviewing noisy data. It saves our analyst between four and eight hours when analyzing events. When it comes to advanced threats, it shows us the threats or events that have been detected, with their risk level. It shows us a vulnerability bar and that helps us see who is looking at us, who is trying to deliver certain information to our systems, who exploited us, or if there is any alert due to someone extracting certain information. The automation of information delivery has facilitated everything, saving us three or four days.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"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 basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"There aren't any positive aspects of the solution. It was a complete failure. There are no redeeming features."
"I was looking for software as a service rather than having issues with managing hardware, upgrades, updates. I was trying to step away from that. Those were the key factors when looking at Securonix as a full-feature SIEM with next-generation capabilities available."
"When we were looking for products for our security monitoring needs, our biggest requirement was that we wanted something based on machine-learning and analytics. If you go with rules, it can raise a lot of noise. Securonix, with its UEBA capability, had the best analytics use-cases."
"[The solution has] incident-management or case-management functionality. If someone were to download a high number and we decided we needed to investigate it, I could open a case right in the tool. It would be able to directly reference the data that they downloaded and we could open and shut the case directly in the tool, as well as report from it."
"I rate the technical support a nine out of ten. They're friendly. Whenever we have a P1 issue, we write an email and our issue is resolved in one or two hours."
"We can customize our use cases with the tools provided by Securonix. It is an excellent tool that can ingest data in different ways and is very flexible."
"Risk scoring was nice. We could exactly see which user had the highest risk score, and then we could pick it up and work on it."
"The second feature is that within the SNYPR product there is a functionality called Spotter. We use that for link analysis diagrams and to run the stats command. That's extremely useful because it replaces a tedious, manual process we used to use, using Microsoft Excel and a couple of other methods, to bring data together."
 

Cons

"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"Regarding the analysis of security events on the SOC side, Securonix Next-Gen SIEM needs to improve its automation capabilities."
"Securonix could open up information regarding the indicators of compromise or cyber-threat intelligence database that they use. The idea is that they share what threats they are detecting."
"The analytics-driven approach for finding sophisticated threats and reducing false positives is positive and good, but the platform requires a more dynamic concept. Everything is a bit static."
"There is room for improvement in the product's integration with ServiceNow and in the reporting features."
"When they did upgrades or applied patches, sometimes, there was downtime, which required the backfill of data. There were times when we had to reach out and get a lot of things validated."
"One of the things they can improve on a little bit is the usability side, to make some things simpler... The tool does have a lot of knobs, you can turn a lot of things on and off and you can change things. Sometimes, it can become a little overwhelming. They should remove some confirmation options and make it simpler for the less mature customers and people who are still trying to grasp it."
"The technical support of the solution is an area with shortcomings and needs improvement."
"We have compliance needs. We have investigation needs. And we have situations where an analyst needs to look at threats. These three things require a different view of how they look at the threats. What would be good is to have Securonix create three different views of their Security Command Center so that, depending on the persona of the person logging in, they'd get the relevant data they need and not see everything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
"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."
"SailPoint is higher in price as compared to Saviynt. The initial cost of SailPoint is very high. There are additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"Compared to other known brands in the industry, the overall cost of the licenses is a bit higher than what customers expect."
"We have a license from our 5.0, so that license just continued. We paid them the extra cloud-hosting costs for a year which were about $300,000."
"Its pricing is quite similar to others and is very competitive. The other solutions have different types of licensing, but when you do the math, it is competitive."
"A good thing about Securonix is that they don't charge by volume of data or number of devices... They charge by the number of employees, which is a much more predictable number for me, versus data. Our costs are in the $100,000 range over a three-year subscription."
"I had heard that it was much cheaper than Splunk and some of the other tools, and they gave us a nice package with support. They accommodated the number of users and support very well."
"We have an annual license. We pay $200,000 for the base licensing and we pay another $50,000 for the software as a service."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive. It is a pretty expensive tool."
"The pricing is good, but by adding more things, the licensing becomes more complex because an EPS license fluctuates a lot. This licensing concept is going to be problematic in the long run."
