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.

Automation has improved uptime and manages hundreds of uplinked TV channels reliably
With the help of Teleport, we are managing many channels. I find it easy to manage how to uplink the channels, and we are automating many things in our setups. We have an MCR, an automatic NMS, and a data center. We have managed it well to make life easier for my employees and colleagues. Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime. Our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%. With Teleport, we can achieve this uptime by using the best equipment and best automation systems, such as alarms. We have applied DataMiner, Barco systems for alarming, and DataMiner for managing the RF things. We have applied many systems in Teleport.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The access certification feature is valuable."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"User provisioning and the role management features are good."
"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."
"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance."
"Teleport has replaced earlier methods like a bastion server or a jump server, which required connecting to physical servers."
"I would definitely advise others looking into using Teleport to try it out if they are seeking a tunneling or proxying solution to streamline obtaining access without dealing with DNS or SSH, as it is straightforward to install, can be tested in various environments, and is a truly exceptional product that is easy to use."
"Teleport has helped us minimize incidents and maintain our uplinking time and uptime, and our organization's uptime is 99.90%, which is almost 100%."
"I recommend it for its straightforward setup and strong security features."
 

Cons

"SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta."
"We have had a lot of service breaks because of the lack of support."
"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."
"There are more functionalities in the Cloud that could be explored."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"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."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"The user interface is not very user-friendly."
"Managing 700 to 800 services is not easy."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
"Teleport is simple to use, but sometimes it requires extra research for more unique tasks, which slightly detracts from its overall quality."
"I cannot download or share session recordings directly with others, which would be useful for documentation or reviews."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
