SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Reviews

We used this solution in one of our projects for provisioning rights in applications such as Active Directory and Office 365. It was also used for collecting information and centralizing it, which was then used to create rights.

There is a lot of documentation available.

The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources.

This solution is difficult to configure.

The interface should be simple and easier to use.

I have been working with SailPoint IdentityIQ for five months.

Technical support is very responsive. When I created a ticket, they responded the same day.

I had questions, more than issues when it came to technical support.

The project that I worked on involved an on-premises deployment, although it can also be deployed on the cloud or in a hybrid cloud environment.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to not begin without having the specification written and documented in advance. If you are implementing it for a client then you want to understand everything that the client wants to use, in advance of implementing.

SailPoint is very good when it comes to Identity Management, although I would appreciate it more if it were simpler to use.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We use the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We use it for many uses like compliance control, provisioning, automated provisioning, password management, and identity governance.

The compliance features are the most valuable features. 

I would like for the client base to be improved. Also, they should change what they charge for the licenses.  

They should lower the price and technical support should be better. Their support takes a long time to respond and they're not straightforward.

The stability is good. 

Scalability is good. Based on compliance, it is good. 

We've had issues with support. 

The initial setup is straightforward. The time it takes to deploy depends on the size of the organization but it is reasonable. 

I would rate it a seven out of ten. Not a ten because of the support and because of the high price. 

We primarily use this solution for simplifying the IAM lifecycle, naming conventions, and application onboarding.

This solution has improved our organization through its ease of application onboarding, approvals, provisioning, and lifecycle UI performance.

I have found all of the features valuable and easy to use.

I think that the onboarding framework could be improved.

We use it for Identity Lifecycle Management: 

• Access requests
• Provisioning
• Deprovisioning
• JCT process and reconciliation (aggregation).

It provides one solution for the entire process in a complex environment with different types of applications and connectors.

All Identity Access Management processes in the tool are valuable. 

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

It is a stable tool, which we run in our complex environment.

SailPoint IIQ Features:

• Compliance controls
• Access request and automated provisioning
• Password management
• Data access governance
• Role lifecycle management

Great product to manage the access control of users.

• Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality.
• Keeps data safe.

• Report generation
• Compliance manager dashboard reporting
• Policy violation
• Access certification, etc.

Needs to focus on automation wherein provisioning of work can be improved and access certification should be automated without the intervention from a manager for approval.

Not applicable.

Enterprise application provisioning and certifications. Provisioning automatically grants access to users based on pre-qualified variables like job function, region, etc; Certification feature of IIQ allows teams to go back and validate that access is still valid, limiting access to those who need

Improved visibility into who has access to what improved ability to validate and certify enterprise access to sensitive applications, useful for measurement and forecasting.

Automated provisioning platform, certification because it helps with automatically provisioning users based on discreet roles, access profiles, across many different applications.

What used to be very complex can be simplified if implemented correctly.

Some of the configuration options could be more automated, but this is a complex problem and I do not expect a simple solution.

One to three years.

No.

No.

Excellent, they have a well supported active community of experts and support personnel.

No.

It can be a bit complex and requires training and a strong background in IT systems and some software development, but other than that it can be learned over time.

N/A.

I implement enterprise software solutions for my clients and SailPoint happens to be one of them.

Work with experience solutions experts who have worked with this tool before. Complement them with experience, and the tools needed to succeed including strong testing and development, project management and team support.

The Certification and Provisioning features are most valuable.

Manager Certification helped to review user access and revoked unnecessary accesses to various applications.

The connector for EPIC, ServiceNow, and Duo.

More than a year.

None, except cosmetics issues related to UI and documentation.

No.

Excellent.

We didn’t have a solution for Certification, but we had a homegrown solution for all other IAM processes. For various reasons, we switched to IIQ.

It was straightforward.

They are expensive.

Yes. We tried Oracle and ForgeRock IAM products.

Just go for this product. Its awesome.

The level of customization for data imports and role modeling, because it helps to integrate faster, support easier and let it reuse the organization role structure.

It allowed us to execute account review campaigns from very different systems.

Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler.

So far, from 2008 to 2017: 10 years.

No, the product is stable.

As long as the database is very close to the application server, the system can manage many identities and connectors to various directory.

Their technical support was very knowledgeable of their product, and we get answers within a day or so most of the time.

Most of the clients kept the solution after using SailPoint IIQ. The only one that considered not using it anymore wanted to keep his historical supplier and to have the same solution for Identity Governance and Administration and for Authentication (which is not something SailPoint provides).

Initial installation is straightforward and takes less than one day, once you have a VM, a database, and a directory available. What takes the most time is the connectivity to each authoritative source and target directory.

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.

Many clients considered the other main IGA solutions, like Oracle Identity Manager, CA Identity Manager, Microsoft Identity Manager, or NetIQ Identity Manager.

Make sure the distance between the database and application server is very short. There is natural integration with other solutions that should be considered in your selection, like with CyberArk or ServiceNow.
