Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The first valuable feature of the solution is its interface. The second feature of the solution is the level of flexibility it provides.""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 initial setup isn't so difficult.""Provides good authorization and authentication system functionality.""The compliance features are the most valuable features.""What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy.""Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."

"Salesforce Identity is a very user-friendly solution.""The most valuable features are the pipeline management, being able to track the pipeline anytime, and the ability to get in touch with our high management team or board members.""The single sign-on feature of Salesforce Identity enhances our organization's security posture overall.""The user experience was great because it had all the features that the client needed. It was fully customized for the client, and it was very simple. It was the best solution at that time."

Cons
"The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved.""The cost of this solution is high. The technical assistance center could be improved. They're very good, but considering the intricacies of the solution, they can further improve.""The cost can be prohibitive for middle-tier companies.""They can work on their strategy for the on-premise version. They have to decide whether and for how long they will support the on-premise version. The new features first appear in the cloud, and after that, they are released for the on-premise version. In the cloud, you have more options and flexibility, which is absolutely normal. They have to have a clear strategy regarding whether they'll support the on-premises version with the same focus. The licensing for on-premise and cloud is a little bit different. They can make it the same.""It is not readily available and cannot be downloaded from the net.""Competitors are advancing by offering integrated solutions encompassing access and privileged access management in a single unified platform. IdentityIQ's focus has remained primarily on identity and access governance, neglecting to expand its offerings to include these additional functionalities within its existing product. Enhancing their product by incorporating modules for access management, privileged access management, and third-party access governance could address this gap.""There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities.""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."

"Salesforce Identity needs more expertise in the application.""Salesforce could make it more user-friendly and easier to implement. Currently, there's a lot of coding and technical work required. I would appreciate a more plug-and-play approach where you could set it up without needing a dedicated technical person.""The interface should be simplified and the dashboard has a lot of options but could be improved.""The most wanted feature on such platforms nowadays is artificial intelligence, especially for marketing activities. This is also my area of expertise, so it would be very interesting to see AI in these platforms."
