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.

Utilizing key management and seamless single sign-on integration for enhanced user profile management

WSO2 Identity Server's key management feature stands out as a particularly impactful feature for enhancing security. Additionally, from a user perspective, the self-user portal and user profile management capabilities are highly valuable. It allows users to manage their profiles, change passwords, and offers a self-care portal type of functionality. The single sign-on capability integrates seamlessly with various platforms, including Google, Facebook, LDAP, and Active Directory, which supports rapid product launches.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Security and administration for any new/current access."

"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."

"Customer Service: Very good. Technical Support: Very good."

"It is a scalable product."

"The basic concept is most valuable; I like how they have designed the solution, where they create an Identity Cube and then do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."

"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."

"We achieve two returns in the investment in a SailPoint implementation."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pros

"I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten."

"Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization."

"Comprehensive ecosystem."

"We use the solution for customer identity management, authenticating customers coming in through a web portal."

"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

"We are able to use this tool to better secure next generation data centers, which use software defined networks."

"The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features."

"The Identity Server has been able to manage our complete user base with ease - including authorization and authentication."

More WSO2 Identity Server pros

Cons

"The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo."

"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."

"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface."

"What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security."

"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."

"Although it seems to be getting better, for each deployment it seems a new set of bugs appear. There has never been a deployment where we have not encountered a product bug."

"The solution itself is expensive and then when you add the cost of the modules it becomes too much."

"The pricing could be improved."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud cons

"There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."

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

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

"The solution seems to be pretty outdated."

"I tried the product but I found it very cumbersome, so I no longer use it."

"I found the initial setup to be very complex."

"First, improvements have to been made in the high availability architecture. This has to do with the master-slave replication, and how the load balancing is handled between the identity servers."

"The solution's licensing model could be more flexible, and pricing could be improved."

More WSO2 Identity Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools."

"The licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"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."

"The solution is not cheap."

"The product is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"The pricing is based on the number of users and is reasonable."

"The product is expensive. People need to opt for a licensing plan for one year or three years."

"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."

More SailPoint Identity Security Cloud pricing and cost advice

"WSO2 Identity Server is not an expensive solution."

"They should bring in some good pricing models to host the marketplace."

"We have to take their support, but that is a minimal charge if I'm comparing it to other identity managers."

"At this time we are working with the open-source version."

"I rate the product price an eight out of ten. There is a need to pay more for the extra features provided by the solution."

"I have found the solutions license is priced competitively compared to others."
