Supports API integrations with different systems

My company uses multi-factor authentication and we tried using it integrating with FIDO Server. It was done to make sure that the multi-factor authentication feature gets used during the authentication process. AI can be used for better authentication, but right now, our company has not used any such feature. I recommend the product to others. It is easy to install and easy to use. Understanding a feature before you integrate a tool with other tools is important. In my company, there is another team with five to six engineers that takes care of the support part of the tool. The product has helped me to meet my security management requirements as per ISO 7001. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."

"The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides."

"The support is very good."

"The tool is quite stable and user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."

"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."

"User provisioning and the role management features are good."

"SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"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 solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."

"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."

"The product is unable to share suggestions with users."

"The product has poor reporting and analytic capabilities. Reports are not easy to use and its analytic capabilities are limited."

"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."

"It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires."

"It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The solution could improve its development from a user perspective."

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
