SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

The solution is brilliant in all aspects. SailPoint’s technical value exceeds what OpenText proposes. It is a really good product.

We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool.

I have been working with the tool since October 2023.

The tool is stable.

The tool is very scalable. Even if the implementation exceeds the number of users decided previously, the tool will fulfill the needs and will still be stable. The solution is not suitable for small companies. The cost will be high.

The support is very good. I rate the support team an eight and a half out of ten.

Positive

The implementation is straightforward. It depends on the environment and customers’ needs. However, it is easy.

The pricing must be improved. The pricing is a little bit higher than other tools. The solution must provide different prices for different countries. All countries are not equally rich.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is more efficient than Micro Focus. We chose SailPoint IdentityIQ because it is stable and the support is good.

We are distributors. Our main competitor is Micro Focus. It is now OpenText. I will recommend the product instead of other tools. It is one of the best IAM products in the market. The price is the only issue. Overall, I rate the tool an eight and a half out of ten.

We use the solution for identity and access governance. It is an automation tool for onboarding and offboarding processes.

It has multiple good features. It provides us with the information we need for onboarding any user or application, provisioning, de-provisioning, and other business processes. The product is easy and convenient to use. It has good features. The tool is quite stable and user-friendly. We can easily customize the processes.

The product must improve its support.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The tool is reliable and stable.

We have 1000 people using the solution in our organization. It is suitable for a small organization with less than 5000 employees.

The initial setup is easy.

The solution is not cheap.

I would recommend the product to others. The solution is easy to deploy. We get a lot of applications out of the box. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Our company uses the solution to manage the life cycle and access control of users. 

We implement for various clients in the banking or investment industries in the Middle East. We also have a couple of government customers. All customers use the solution for employee management.  

The access certification feature is valuable. 

The solution is very customizable. 

Certifications could include additional access levels or practices. 

On occasion, there are difficulties with the management control when you attempt to apply things in a certain manner. 

I have been using the solution for nine years. 

The stability is pretty good because it is a very customizable solution. If you don't know how to customize or if you make mistakes, then the solution can become unstable. 

If you have enough hardware to support the on-premises version, then the solution is scalable. You need enough hardware to support the number of identities you want to manage. 

Technical support is efficient and very, very good. If you raise a concern, support is readily available with a solution. Responses are received in a very timely manner. 

The setup is very, very easy. Identity IQ is the on-premises software for the solution and it is easy to setup. There are modules to install so the only thing you need is time to complete them. 

We implement the solution for customers. First you install and connect the web server. Then you install the database on top of it. If you want additional modules, then you can import the LT module on top. 

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

I highly recommend the solution and rate it a seven out of ten. 

The product is for identity management.

There are lots of features. It depends on what your use cases are. Basically, how the entitlements are handled is very good. It's the complete lifecycle of entitlements. That is what the best feature is about the product.

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

I focused on the functionality. We needed to implement everything properly, and those functionalities were pre-built in the product. We didn't have an issue in that sense.

The interface is simple and very usable. I have used other products and didn't see their interface as better than SailPoint. 

The product is stable.

It is scalable. 

I wouldn't be able to point out any shortcomings. Right now, also I'm not working on the product as much. 

The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now. 

I've used the solution for more than a year. 

It is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The scalability is good. 

We only used support for a few months initially and they were very, very good. There was no problem at that time. After that, we are on our own. We have our own experts. They have been experts in SailPoint for a long, long time. Therefore, we are reaching out to SailPoint support directly - until and unless there is a shortcoming or a bug in the product. I have not come across any yet.

Positive

We had legacy systems. That's why we moved to SailPoint.

The setup was pretty good. We have five people that can handle deployment and maintenance. 

The pricing was taken care of by management. I don't know about the exact cost.

I'm a customer. We have bought the product, and we are using it. It's in our organization.

I am not sure which version of the solution we're using. It might be one version behind. 

Whether or not this is the right solution for others depends on your use cases. If your use cases align with those, this is the best product to use. The client that I'm working with has their use cases aligned with this solution, and we haven't had to customize much. Most of the functionality's in-built.

I'd rate the product ten out of ten. It covers the functionality we need.

We're using SailPoint IdentityIQ for these purposes: user access, authentication, and governance review access.

SailPoint IdentityIQ has improved my organization as it's used mainly to provide access to first-time users and also for other actions around managing access.

A feature of SailPoint IdentityIQ that I like best is that it has good integration with other platforms. My company is using ADP here in Brazil, and SailPoint IdentityIQ works very, very well with it. My company is also using the solution for governance evaluation, segregation, and other access tests. For my company, SailPoint IdentityIQ is a very important solution, especially because it's automated, and there's a huge audit and risk issue here in Brazil.

In the past, we had a lot of problems with SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in providing access and provisioning. There were some gaps in the operation of the solution because they were manual rather than automated, and the users and administrators were given access directly via Active Directory, and it wasn't appropriate for us at the time to use.

In terms of integration, we could provide a more automated solution after a minimum number of years, but not in the SailPoint IdentityIQ platform, but there were problems in the registration, for example, with putting information inside ADP, but in general, we were able to solve those problems, and after implementing SailPoint IdentityIQ  we had increased evaluations.

I've been using SailPoint IdentityIQ for two years.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is a stable solution.

We didn't have contact with the technical support for SailPoint IdentityIQ because we're using a third party for support.

Ten of our administrators used Append to control executive activities prior to using SailPoint IdentityIQ, but in general, we found SailPoint IdentityIQ to be more useful in maintaining information, access roles, and permissions. The solution does exactly what we needed it to do.

The initial setup for SailPoint IdentityIQ was straightforward.

We used a third party to implement SailPoint IdentityIQ, particularly in the beginning, but nowadays, we can implement the solution on our own. In the beginning, we had a problem with the rules inside the platform, but the third party helped us in solving the problem and installed and configured SailPoint IdentityIQ appropriately.

Right now, I'm not sure if there's ROI from SailPoint IdentityIQ, but within a few months or so, there will be.

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.

We evaluated other solutions, but SailPoint IdentityIQ proved to be more adequate for us to use, and we found that not a single solution or tool was exactly better than SailPoint IdentityIQ.

I'm not sure about the version of SailPoint IdentityIQ my company is using, but it's probably the newest version.

My company has ten administrators of SailPoint IdentityIQ and around one thousand users. Ten technicians maintain the solution. My company maintains the solution and always keeps it updated, so integrating other solutions to SailPoint IdentityIQ won't be a problem.

In terms of rating SailPoint IdentityIQ, nine is a good score for me. My company is very happy with the solution.

My company is a customer of SailPoint IdentityIQ.

We have made use of versions six, seven and eight and are currently using 8.2, the latest. 

We use the solution to create connectors, such as those involving Active Directory and GDVC for Oracle. We implement the solution towards this end. 

Access certification and provisioning are two of the solutions most valuable features. 

While the setup is very easy, the real difficulty lies in creating the connectors for work service. 

When it comes to queries and analysis, I find the reporting module to be very low, very simple. 

The solution could have better graphical features, in respect of ADDQ, when it comes to diagrams and pictures. The results for reporting use graphical layout. There should be better graphics for the interface in respect of reporting. 

We have been SailPoint IdentityIQ partners with America for one year and currently make use of the solution, same as IdentityNow, which we do with batch one or two. 

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

The technical support and community for SailPoint is great. 

While the setup is very easy, the real difficulty lies in creating the connectors for work service.

The deployment time varies with the project and client and can last anywhere from three months to a year or two. We have a smaller project involving 100 employees and a larger, more difficult, one involving 10,000. The latter requires a longer deployment period and more connectors. 

The solution is mainly geared toward SaaS, cloud-based services, which is the proper way to use it. I cannot think of a better use for it. 

We have hands on experience with SailPoint IdentityIQ. We work together with the SailPoint service professional and are in daily contact with their employees. 

I find the solution to be comprehensive. 

I would advise others to first create the connectors and provision in Active Directory or the the EHR system, human resource systems. One should implement the solution and the basic connectors, such as those concerning human resource applications or directory applications such as Active Directory. 

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ as a nine out of ten. 

The solution is primarily used for governance. Clients also use it for single sign-on, to consolidate the access for B2C or B2B cases. Those are the main use cases that we've seen.

The ease of use is very good.

It's nice that everything comes out of the box in SailPoint. 

Deployment takes a bit of time, however, once it's done properly, everything becomes very organized and easy to use.

The solution is completely stable. It's one of the best solutions on the market.

The solution can scale. 

While you can scale the solution, it is expensive to do so. The solution, in general, is quite expensive. If the pricing was better, the adoption rate would be much higher. 

Deployment can take a while.

At least in the UAE, they need more presence on the ground. It would be good to have more people to assist us to help us adopt this technology and become certified on it. The bigger the channel here is, in the UAE, the more people will start to train on it, and the cost of the deployment will become cheaper when there is competition. Right now, there's some kind of monopoly. If you have two experts in the entire UAE, they're going to raise their prices so that the cost is very high. 

I've used the solution for two years at this point. 

The stability of the solution is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's a very reliable product.

The solution is scalable, however, companies need to be mindful of the extra costs involved.

Technical support does not have a presence here in UAE. There's only one person that I was in contact with all the time. He's like the manager and a technical guy. He's a one-man show. That said, he's very good and very supportive. The company itself, however, does not have a presence here and they don't have an office. This one person just is mobile and is traveling most of the time.

The deployment requires someone specialized in the solution. It can be expensive to set up, however, once it's deployed and properly up and running, it's very easy to use. 

That said, the initial setup is not straightforward. Any IAM project takes some expertise to deploy, as it's not an easy technology to get going. it's the same as a SIEM solution. You need to have a good understanding of the technology and spend some time with the customer in order to completely understand his requirements. After that, you will be able to do a proper deployment.

The amount of personnel you need depends on the size of the environment, however, the bigger the environment, the more technical team you need. You need at least one expert on the site to handle the project, just one expert, who will put in the guidelines. After that, you can have, two or three junior people to do the repetitive tasks.

The license is expensive and the deployment is expensive. This is due to the fact that the experts in that field who know how to do a proper deployment are very rare, and their cost is really high. Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000.

Users can sign up for a one-year or three-year contract.

I'm not a direct customer. I am a reseller of the product.

Usually, for this type of solution, everyone requests it to be on-prem, especially in the Gulf area. They prefer not to opt for the cloud solution. There's still some resistance in that area.

As a technology, I would rate it at a nine out of ten. It's very good. That said, in terms of pricing, I would rate it very low, at maybe a three to four. It's also making our lives very hard as system integrators. To sell it, due to the price tag, is very, very hard.

I would recommend it to other users and companies. Overall, the product is sound.

Less than half of my customers use the solution within the government for certification, identity process, and optimization of the roles and requirements for other areas. For the rest of my other customers, they are using the solution for their core systems. For example, they are doing vertical financial analytics. 

This solution has made my client's customers' journeys a lot better.

The most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse. For financial analytics, this is the way to make the clusters better. 

The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved.

In the future, there should be improvements integrating into cloud ecosystems, such as AWS or Azure. At the moment we have to purchase many different solutions to have a fully operational intelligent identity package. There are some features lacking in identity and the DevOps solutions.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The solution is stable.

We did not have an issue with scaling the solution. My customers range from medium to large scale businesses using this solution.

The customer support process is slow at times because they do not have proper language support for my clients in Latin America speaking Spanish. There is good support for English but not Spanish.

The solution was easy to install for me but might not be for someone who is not used to the
methodology.

We have three implementation consultants, one project manager, and two engineers as part of our deployment team. The number of people sent to a project depends on the environment in which the solution is being implemented. For example, The relation is one person per three systems, if you need to make more than 20 in three months, we will have to supply more people. The implementation took approximately six months.

For the ordinary maintenance activities for administration solutions, we provide normally one person to support four customers.

The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford. We have one customer that has 2,000 identities and another one with 8,000.

We have evaluated Oracle, IBM, and Micro Trend solutions. 

The methodology is very important, the methodology guides me and the customer to obtain the goal. Between all these solutions, this is the biggest difference. Additionally, the facility to build the data warehouse identity in order to have real identity governance is important. More specifically, the facility to create integration with the system and the way to make the governance of the data connectors are important because in other solutions you have to develop the code for the connectors. This includes low-level coding and business rules that have to be put in the DAT code, it takes a lot of time to have the functionality that you desire.

This is a mature solution, you can easily configure the connectors using a GUI interface. It makes the process a lot simpler. The business rules are model-specific and governed to reach the goals. This solution is straightforward to implement than another technology.

I have my doubts about what is the best way to set up this solution. It is not only an issue with this solution but for others as well. We have two flavors of the solutions, software-as-a-service(SaaS) and on-premise. None of our customers is ready to choose one of those because if you are on-premise, generally, it is fully featured. It is easier to integrate with another system but it is not going to satisfy the customers that want a solution on the Cloud.

On the other hand, SaaS or Cloud solution may be better for you but you might have a lot of legacy systems that are not ready to work perfectly with a SaaS solution. At this point, the main issue is to figure out what solution is best at the present time, on-premise or SaaS. This decision can be very difficult.

You need to be careful with the decisions you make because if you choose an on-premise solution right now you most likely are going to be on the cloud in three years. You need to keep this in mind. The industry is going in that direction.

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a nine out of ten.
