SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

We have different use cases depending on the project. For example, we use it for user management, account management, user lifecycle, certifications, reporting, SODs, and governance. We use everything that SailPoint IdentityIQ provides.

Our user lifecycle takes less time with SailPoint IdentityIQ. Previously, it would take around one day to get all the users access, and now it is an automatic process with a good authentication authorization mechanism.

When deployed on-premises, it gives us a lot of areas to customize and provides many out-of-box features. For example, it offers different out-of-box connectors where we can connect with multiple forest configurations. There are also out-of-box connectors for CyberArk, Okta, and other applications, but SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others.

There's a lot of customization required to improve the user experience. It would also be helpful if there were some out-of-box options for filtering.

We have been using this solution for seven years. We are currently using version 8.2 or 8.3. We have also used versions 6.0, 6.1, 6.2 and 6. 3. It is deployed on-premises and on cloud.

The stability and performance are very good.

Scalability is good, but if the number of users significantly increases, it requires different web servers and becomes difficult to manage. In addition, SailPoint IdentityIQ doesn't provide any SIM tool, so we have to implement it if required. Without it, we have to work locally, going into the logs for eServers by ourselves, and there isn't a central log factory where we can see all the logs for the SailPoint IdentityIQ.

The number of users depends on the project. There are projects with millions of users and others with 100,000 or 300,000 users. Also, the number of people required for deployment depends on the number of servers and users. However, if I were to estimate, it requires an average of three people, but if the server and the UI server increase, it becomes challenging to look at the logs.

Compared to SailPoint IdentityIQ, Saviynt provides a way to select servers. From the UI, you can choose different servers and see the logs.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is being used at full capacity, and I am currently working as an architect for both Saviynt and SailPoint IdentityIQ. If I were to compare solutions, there is no comparison with SailPoint in the market right now, and SailPoint is way ahead. Solutions like Saviynt and Omada have features such as logs, clarity of the risk and SODs that are not as good in SailPoint IdentityIQ.

We have not used technical support directly, but our clients use them, and we have not heard of any problems.

We previously worked with IBM IM products like ISIM and Oracle IM, and we switched to SailPoint IdentityIQ because it is an enhancing product. SailPoint IdentityIQ is the best in feature enhancement.

It was straightforward to implement, which is an advantage with products deployed on-premises. However, there is minimal documentation around the firewall on SailPoint community sites. For example, sometimes, we want to configure SailPoint IdentityIQ for our developers in a development version, and we don't want it to connect inside a company's firewall. But that is not addressed in the architectural documents. The documentation covers areas like check configuration or DR configuration but does not mention options for different networking structures between a web server and a product and how it works. Deployment is dependent on the project. Sometimes we complete it ourselves, and other times it's done by a third party.

There is an ROI. I have worked in this domain for 12 years on different continents and have not heard of people replacing SailPoint IdentityIQ on-premise with other solutions.

I rate the price a six out of ten, with one being least expensive and ten being most expensive.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. If deployment is done on-premises, SailPoint IdentityIQ is best, but Saviynt or Omada is better if it is cloud.

Regarding advice, SailPoint IdentityIQ is the most customizable product. However, it is good to minimize customization and use more out-of-box functionality because it becomes a hassle in the long term to manage customization in the IM product. In addition, it will be good if there is better log management in future releases.

IdentityIQ is connected to all our target systems to manage access to various applications.

IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security.

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. In the next release, IdentityIQ should enable emails and reports through the UI instead of the code.

I've been using IdentityIQ for two years.

IdentityIQ is very stable.

IdentityIQ is scalable manually and automatedly.

The initial setup was easy, and the implementation was completed within four months.

I would rate IdentityIQ nine out of ten because the UI is really easy for end users to understand and use.

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.

SailPoint IdentityIQ is used for reporting and identity, account, and access management.

The most valuable features of SailPoint IdentityIQ are the reporting because it is better than other solutions. The workflows can be customized to our requirements and the overall features are good.

If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI.

I have been using SailPoint IdentityIQ for approximately four years.

When using SailPoint IdentityIQ you need to tell them the capacity you want, and they will provide the solution with the appropriate license. For example, you have to tell them initially that you will have 50,000 users using the solution then they will tell you how much service you will need to deploy.

The technical support is not very good but it is good. They can improve.

I have previously used Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity.

The initial setup of SailPoint IdentityIQ is easy. The time of deployment can take approximately two days.

We did the implementation of SailPoint IdentityIQ in-house.

My advice to others is if you are new to the identity access management world, and you are starting with SailPoint IdentityIQ, you have the best tool in your hand to start with. You can receive complete exposure to all the types of operations or workflows.

I rate SailPoint IdentityIQ a nine out of ten.

We use this solution predominantly for the leaver process. 

This solution is easy to configure. 

The mover process for this solution could be improved. 

We have used this solution for six months. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution.

The initial setup is straightforward. This took one week. 

We have a monthly subscription for this solution. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We have a central server and use SailPoint to provide us access to all user/admin accounts/files. There are a lot of integration options that we have not taken advantage of yet - it is possible that in the future, a customer will want to integrate their HR system with SailPoint.

This solution is great for providing control access across your environment.

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

This is a stable solution that is widely used because it is dominant within the industry.

This solution can be expanded so I would say that it is scalable. The solution can accommodate thousands of users, there are maybe sixty of seventy thousand users within my organization.

Technical support is good.

This solution takes a long tome to deploy, but it is not complex to setup. A medium-scale deployment will take you about one year.

The system requires about ten to fifteen people to maintain from various teams i.e. active directory, access management, security etc.

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.

I would recommend this solution to anyone looking into it and would rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Identity IQ for user onboarding, offboarding, profile management and to manage user access across various platforms in our organization. 

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

The prices could be slightly reduced to match other products in the market. 

The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs.  There is not much customization offered in SailPoint connectors. We had to customize the out-of-the-box connector to meet our needs and keep track of this customization for future upgrades. 

I have been using this solution for seven years. 

This is a stable solution. 

We moved from Oracle Identity Manager to SailPoint and the initial setup was not straightforward. It took two to three days and was done is small steps. 

We implemented the solution in-house but received assistance leading up to the implementation from a third party company for three months.

From the backend perspective, when we have needed certain functionality and it has not been possible within the solution, we have reached out to SailPoint for assistance. 

I would rate it an eight out of ten.
