That is, it is compatible as well as interoperable, as far as the federated authentication is concerned."
"We face no challenges in integrating the product with our legacy systems."
"The most valuable features depend on a customer's needs. Our customers generally find multi-factor authentication very useful."
"The most valuable features are ease of operation and visibility."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are MFA, and SSO, which have high security."
"The most valuable features of Okta Workforce Identity are SSO, MFA, and beneficial feature sets."
"The support for YubiKey is really good because you don't actually have to type in your username and password."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"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."
"The solution is pretty stable and simple to use."
"It provides a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities. You don't have to do too much custom development like other solutions such as Microsoft or NetIQ. It also has a lot of out-of-the-box connectors for different sources, directories, databases, etc. Its cloud version is working very well, and its pricing is okay. Its value for money is fine for most of the customers. It is also very flexible. They have frequent new releases and patches for fixing errors and things like that."
"The compliance features are the most valuable features."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a good and straightforward user interface. They also have a lot of resources and documentation available to understand the process."
"Provides functionalities for various stages, such as joiner, mover, and leaver"
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"We still had to write several internal programs/scripts to complete the user-provisioning process. Okta does not have the ability to provision mailbox accounts for on-premise Exchange or in a hybrid O365 environment. The Group Push function from Okta to AD did not work reliably in our environment."
"I would appreciate it if Okta Workforce Identity becomes more user-friendly. Its API technology is complicated. Certain applications may pose challenges in terms of integration, especially when they require IDP technologies that aren't easily codable. While I can't provide specific examples, some applications may not integrate with Okta Workforce Identity."
"The only aspect in which it can be improved is that the interface could be cleaner. I found this even when I was trying to do my certification exam because the certification is hands-on. You find yourself fumbling around a little bit to find simple things. This happens even when you start to get familiar with the product."
"It would be pricing, which is a tough one because it goes against Microsoft. A lot of companies say they're a Microsoft partner, and they get all their software for free. Okta is like a luxury product, and it's not the most affordable one. I would say if they could work on pricing, it would help. Other than that, they've done great strides in developing a product that is really good. The companies that do see the value tend to invest in it."
"Okta Workforce Identity can improve by having more features in governance."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"It can have more API integrations."
"There should be automated aggregation and complete classification processes included in it."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"I think that the onboarding framework could be improved."
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The mover process for this solution could be improved."
"One needs to understand that SailPoint is into full-fledged IAM practice with a long-term vision, and customers will get a quick ROI with best practices implementation."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
