We performed a comparison between Okta Workforce Identity and SailPoint IdentityIQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Identity and Access Management as a Service (IDaaS) (IAMaaS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can automate the process of adding users to Okta if they are activated in Active Directory, or if they are added to the database of applications or Active Directory in the last couple of days."
"The feature that is most valuable to me is the automated user provisioning that we set up using Okta as a major part of that process."
"Its integration components are most valuable. It integrates with everything in some way. There are some products, such as O365 or AD, with which it completely and 100% integrates. So, you can seamlessly create accounts across the board with some of these products. For some of the products with which it doesn't completely integrate, you can do some kind of interfacing."
"It made things a lot easier, especially with passwords."
"Okta integrates well with other solutions. Once you have integrated an application into Okta and onboarded a user, they will be onboarded for just-in-time provisioning."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"I find the provisioning features and the integration with other applications useful."
"They have good push authentications."
"This solution is great for providing control access across your environment."
"We like the integration with other systems."
"IdentityIQ's best features are the hassle-free user experience and security."
"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."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has more enriched out-of-box connectors than the others."
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager."
"The most powerful feature of the solution is its platform-based approach. Unlike other solutions, this tool offers a high level of customization. It is an open and flexible platform, allowing users to tailor it to their needs. This ability to customize and adapt the solution to individual requirements makes the solution stand out as a powerful product."
"One of the most valuable aspects of SailPoint is its open integration interface."
"A room for improvement in Okta Workforce Identity is its price. It could be cheaper. The biggest benefit of the solution is that everything works securely without extra steps, so you're saving on your workforce's time and effort because your applications work smoothly and securely, but you'd need to pay some amount of money for that. Another area that could be improved, though not necessarily regarding Okta Workforce Identity, is the SSO applications because so many of the source applications charge extra money to put the SSO to work, which means you have to buy a more expensive license. Nowadays, SSO is a mainstream functionality and it should be out-of-the-box in those applications because it's so easy to set up."
"RESTful Web Service calls and their response seem a bit slow."
"We experienced some technical glitches that need to be resolved."
"It is challenging to obtain a comprehensive backup."
"It can have more API integrations."
"Okta Workforce Identity could improve the way passwords are reset and how it interfaces with Microsoft."
"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."
"They should focus on improving them to provide top-notch team access management while still offering those typical features."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"We faced some issues while integrating the solution with a third-party tool."
"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."
"The product must improve its support."
"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."
"Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time."
"The advanced provisioning features require more improvement."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
