Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier.""We are happy with the SailPoint IdentityIQ’s stability.""The community is very active and when I had questions about an issue, I was able to find the resources.""SailPoint has allowed us to ensure the right people have the right access and to the rights things.""This solution is easy to configure.""Good life cycle management, segregation of duties, and analytics features.""The big one now is that they're adding AI and machine learning to figure out automated approvals and make recommendations to their reviewers. So, if I bring up Doug McPherson and it says he has access to this application, the system will make a review based on peer group analysis. That's one of the biggest new things. The problem used to be that people would get everything loaded on, and they created too much work for themselves. Now, they can use these policies and start to let the machine pick the less risky things.""The tool's GUI is user-friendly."

"Varonis Platform is transparent and captures everything in the environment without impacting the performance. The tool helps us unify data feeds into a single reporting system.""The solution has significantly improved data security and compliance posture by allowing us to track and monitor activities. We can see who accesses data and when files are created and understand what's happening in our environment."

Cons
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting.""The price of IdentityIQ could be lower. There are additional costs when you buy the licenses, and they force the customers to pay for them.""What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security.""The UI needs to be more user friendly. More concentration on historical policy violations would be great. In terms of new features, I would like to see artificial intelligence and machine language added.""There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities.""The report functionality and dashboard of the access manager could be improved.""It allowed to implement the automated processes when a new employee is hired. It allows to have a main central process for new hires.""The user interface could be slightly improved. It could be made simpler and more user-friendly, however, it is good enough right now."
