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."The solution is moderate to difficult to use. I found the approach was practical. Following the steps made it very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"The main control page and the ability to manage all our users from a web-based portal are the most valuable aspects of the solution. That's particularly useful because we're a heterogeneous network."
"The most valuable feature of Google Cloud Identity is group access. You are able to assign policies to groups instead of users individually."
"The solution is primarily used for single control and single sign which helps with the security and authentication of multiple devices."
"I think the first thing that is great is that it gives you a lot of features, like login, and then vaulted passwords and secure LDAP. It becomes easier for the end customer to leverage all those features without going to a higher SKU of G Suite."
"Cloud Identity is scalable enough for our needs. It's serving more than 3,000 users in our organization."
"It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier."
"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 is quite stable and user-friendly."
"What I like most about SailPoint IdentityIQ is that it's simple to use and easy to configure and deploy."
"The basic concept is most valuable. I like how they have designed the solution. They create an Identity Cube, and then they do all the processes and configuration around the Identity Cube."
"Has a great certification module with intuitive options."
"Certifications and user provisioning features are the most valuable."
"This solution is easy to configure."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The pricing for this solution is a little bit higher than AWS and others, which is something that should be improved."
"The customer service and support team is not so good."
"In the next release, I would like to see integration with different systems, mainly wireless SIEMS and other analytical systems that we want to introduce."
"If I were to suggest enhancements, it would mainly revolve around ensuring compatibility and maximizing integration options with various services."
"Google Cloud Identity the UI could improve."
"They are going ahead and adding a few more things to the Google Cloud premium edition. Their stock management and remote computer management can be improved."
"If you want to set up some alerts, you don't have much control over the configuration. You have to use their default alerts. And they only provide alerts for certain activities, so you cannot customize those. Monitoring isn't very helpful either."
"The product’s cloud offering could be flexible."
"Additional details during account aggregation failures to help quick troubleshooting."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ could be cheaper."
"Finding integration experts for SailPoint in the North American market can be challenging, and transitioning to a no-code or low-code setup could reduce dependence on specialized skills."
"The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs."
"They should lower the price and technical support should be better."
"Compared to at least one other product some of the administrative tasks could be easier or more intuitive."
