Room For Improvement

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is costly with limited customization, challenging usability, and insufficient integration and support, needing feature improvements.
Securonix Next-Gen SIEM struggles with complexity, limited customization, and integration issues, impacting usability and customer satisfaction.
SailPoint lacks some features like privileged account management and access management features found in products like Okta.
I find raising a ticket to be too complex, which could be improved for better user-friendliness.
We have also put our enhancement request, and the SailPoint team has accepted that the feature is not available and plans to include it going forward.
The passing and setup are quite complex at the beginning, making onboarding not smooth.
When dealing with a large amount of data, such as when firewall logs increase, queries sometimes crash or get stuck.
SIEM could have better integration with other technologies.

SailPoint is cheaper than ServiceNow, which is very expensive.
The pricing of SailPoint could be better.
The costs are slightly higher than SailPoint IQ due to included charges for maintenance.

The pricing has similar ingestion charges compared to other solutions, such as Splunk.

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.
Ibrahim Albalawi - PeerSpot reviewer
Less false positives, good detection and integration capabilities, and good pricing
The incident response area should be improved. It is more difficult than other products, but overall, it is good. The platform has a lot of options and functionality. So, you need to check almost everything. For new engineers or people who don’t have much experience with this kind of platform, it is a bit difficult, but for experienced engineers, it is not that difficult. When you have been doing a lot of work for about one or two hours, and you have a lot of tabs open, it slows down or gets stuck. There is a delay of 10 to 15 seconds in opening tabs or dashboards. I don't know why this happens, but for me, it is not a big issue. I just wait, and that's all.
