Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.

Great validation and integrity features of the endpoint
Our primary use case of Safenet is for cybersecurity incidents, particularly for remote users.  I'm the customer sales leader and a key account manager and we are customers of Thales.  The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great. Whether you're using a Mac OS or other operating…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution’s stability and performance are good."
"By using this product the organization has moved from manual access governance done previously to automated governance which has a full audit trail, and this is very beneficial."
"The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features."
"Automated accounts provisioning during the on-boarding process."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"The solution is simple to use."
"Right now, we only have a small use case for the product, however, it has performed well."
"I recommend this solution because it protects information."
"The validation and integrity features of the endpoint are great."
"The interface is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."
"This solution is difficult to configure."
"The UI needs to be more user friendly."
"There are various functions that don't work in IdentityIQ, including the access request reminder, which doesn't go to the approvals in the proper format, so it's hard for users to read."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"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."
"When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple."
"The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
"There's a dependency on Microsoft Azure."
"SafeNet's reporting and monitoring features could be improved."
"The scalability may not be there."
"I'd like to see more networking features, such as the ability to integrate network monitoring solutions and authenticate the app users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is affordable licensing."
"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"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."
