Great user and account management and reduces our user lifecycle time
Scalability is good, but if the number of users significantly increases, it requires different web servers and becomes difficult to manage. In addition, SailPoint IdentityIQ doesn't provide any SIM tool, so we have to implement it if required. Without it, we have to work locally, going into the logs for eServers by ourselves, and there isn't a central log factory where we can see all the logs for the SailPoint IdentityIQ. The number of users depends on the project. There are projects with millions of users and others with 100,000 or 300,000 users. Also, the number of people required for deployment depends on the number of servers and users. However, if I were to estimate, it requires an average of three people, but if the server and the UI server increase, it becomes challenging to look at the logs. Compared to SailPoint IdentityIQ, Saviynt provides a way to select servers. From the UI, you can choose different servers and see the logs. SailPoint IdentityIQ is being used at full capacity, and I am currently working as an architect for both Saviynt and SailPoint IdentityIQ. If I were to compare solutions, there is no comparison with SailPoint in the market right now, and SailPoint is way ahead. Solutions like Saviynt and Omada have features such as logs, clarity of the risk and SODs that are not as good in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

Simple dashboard, good remediation, and helpful training
We wanted to secure our cloud platform. We needed to see visibility in our platform. We wanted a tool to show us when an issue occurred, which part it happened, and how to remediate it accordingly. Also, we wanted to know how to create a ticket and track the ticket. We wanted a support team to help…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"It significantly reduces the workload for certification processes."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"Security and administration for any new/current access."
"​The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable."
"Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The product's visibility and remediation work fine for me."
"Ermetic can provide super visibility for our cloud environment (we are using AWS)."
"The solution’s vulnerability management feature has helped us identify and mitigate risks well."
"The tool alerts us on depreciating performance or deficiencies of our web application. It helps us react on time."
"The key benefit lies in having the largest and most up-to-date database. When it comes to using any Tenable product, it excels in finding vulnerabilities and providing analytics."
"If you have multi-cloud tenancy using AWS and Azure, you can have a single dashboard where you can onboard all the cloud infrastructure and have visibility into it."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use. In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ we had increased evaluations."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"The UI is complex."
"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."
"The solution's technical support team's response time and skills need improvement since it is an area where there are shortcomings."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"There is a need for the support team to improve their response time since it is one of the areas where the product's technical team has certain shortcomings."
"I do think there might be room for more integrations. This could allow for further customization and flexibility, essentially offering different functionality options to accommodate various budgets."
"Ermetic needs to improve its security scanning. I would like to see more dynamic graphical forms."
"If Tenable Cloud Security offers a complete Cnapp solution with CWP, CIEM, and Waap security, it will be able to compete with other competitors."
"The product must provide more features."
"I didn't find anything that wasn't useful or needed to be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."
"It is a costly solution. Its cost, for sure, should be reduced."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"It is affordable licensing."
"You do pay one price for the license but that price depends on what you choose to include as far as the optional modules go."
"There is a need to opt for a subscription-based pricing model to use Tenable Cloud Security. I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The tool's pricing is fair."
