Featured Reviews

Praveen Jalumuru - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced automation and AI-driven integration offer significant time savings
The most valuable features include its ability to integrate with AI and machine learning, the automation of reports, and the built-in connectors that enable easy connection with both legacy and cloud-based applications. Its code-less drag-and-drop functionality allows for easier adjustments, and it provides strong support with reduced SLAs compared to SailPoint IQ.
Joel Amate - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable, scalable, and offers single sign-on
I give the solution a nine out of ten. I suggest if a person wants to start using Workspace ONE, they should make use of the cloud instance instead of the on-premise instance. There is an on-premise instance available, but the cloud instance is a better option now. I advise them to make use of the cloud instance. This is because management-wise, there is no need to manage a server. For example, we don't need to buy a server, and we don't need to buy network switches, which are required for the on-premise. At the same time, I can advise setting up all the functionalities or whatever functionalities are available for the trial version. We need to check if the Workspace ONE integration includes Azure AD or other identity providers. A lot of applications are using these providers for authentication, such as Ping, Okta, and others. If the Workspace ONE integration doesn't include these providers, the company might have to find a different solution. Security projects should also be considered. Specifically, if the solution can integrate with local security solutions to secure mobile devices.

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."
"The access certification feature is valuable."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"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."
"The tool's GUI is user-friendly."
"The solution can be customized to adapt the workflow to our industry, offering considerable flexibility."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"The product has fully automated features that help people do tasks easily."
"The Identity component of this solution is its most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it will use my credentials to access various parts of the infrastructure or other solutions, such as vRealize."
"VMware Workspace ONE is a platform that's really good at monitoring and managing mobile endpoints. It can be set up quickly and implemented easily. Technical support for this solution has always been good."
"You can put all your applications on a mobile device, be it a phone or tablet. It is secure and easy to use. Because it is centrally managed, you don't have to do any configuration on the phone. I just got the phone and connected to the central applications. I just downloaded one thing and everything got rolled out. Email, calendar, and other things were deployed centrally. If you don't have AirWatch, you have to configure your phone manually. For example, you need to deploy and configure your email manually and then synchronize everything. It is much simpler when a mobile device is centrally managed."
"It has all of the features that we need to use and that we want to use."
"The remote management and location capabilities are good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the multi-platform support."
 

Cons

"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."
"The interface can improve, and the product could become a little cheaper."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies."
"Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler."
"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."
"The workflow and user interface of SailPoint are not as smooth as ServiceNow's."
"If there's a price reduction for SailPoint IdentityIQ, that would be helpful. Another area for improvement in the product is the technical support, which needs to be more friendly to customers."
"The product's stability for certain instances needs improvement."
"I prefer to work with Jamf Pro because it is more specific to working with the iPad features."
"Cost of licensing is quite high."
"The integration on the application side could improve."
"We'd like to see a better connection to Microsoft Azure and a better connection with Check Point."
"The location service could improve and more integration with other devices, such as Android enterprise and Apple devices."
"VMware Workspace ONE should allow certain common settings and restrictions across multiple operating systems."
"It's not accurate enough when it comes to sending items to end-users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not cheap."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"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."
"As per my knowledge, it runs on a paid partnership model, but I am not sure about it."
"It's difficult to say that the solution saved costs because it is quite expensive."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ is highly-priced, and I rate it an eight out of ten for pricing."
"Its pricing was okay for our company."
"The license is paid annually."
"The pricing currently is higher than the competition."
"Depending on the requirements of users, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"My guess is that its licensing was yearly. There was probably no fee in addition to the standard licensing fee."
"VMware Workspace ONE licensing price is good with their supportability. The price of VMware Workspace ONE is reasonable. We are using an enterprise license."
"For big users, it's around $500."
"While the platform offers comprehensive solutions, it can be expensive, especially if you only need it for occasional testing and deployment."
