Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most selling modules for SailPoint are the compliance manager and the life cycle manager.""The compliance features are the most valuable features.""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.""We like the integration with other systems.""It offers a single source of truth. Everything can be handled from one tier.""Has a great certification module with intuitive options.""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 tool's GUI is user-friendly."

"The tool has been very stable, in my experience. Also, I haven't faced any issues or problems with integration or connectivity.""In this version 9.1, lots of changes are done for the dashboard, User Store etc.""It's a good tool. It's pretty straightforward.""Other than it provides us with remote access, so it's fairly easy to install, fairly easy to set up, and provides us the ability to get into our corporate environment.""The product is useful for providing user access from an in-built office server as we follow the work-from-home model.""It is easy to use.""It offers more platform support, like Apple, Android, and Microsoft.""The two-factor authentication is most definitely valuable and moves us closer to being able to check off those important boxes for compliance."

Cons
"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.""SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its customization. It should also incorporate some standardized tools for implementation.""There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities.""The interface should be simple and easier to use.""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.""The UI of the solution could be more customizable so we could change the workflows to suit our needs.""If you compare Saviynt and Okta Workforce Identity versus SailPoint IdentityIQ, SailPoint IdentityIQ needs to improve its UI.""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."

More SailPoint IdentityIQ Cons →

"It is challenging to use when installing a new version.""Geofencing needs improvement.""Every time that I have a new phone or computer, it takes a little longer to deploy it.""It gets out of sync with Active Directory or whatever it might be, whatever the authentication piece is on Active Directory, and they just reset it on the backend. I never have to contact the vendor.""Maybe Symantec could consider providing a step-by-step guide for first-time users.""In the next release, I would like the ability to work offline with remote access.""The gateway server is a RADIUS server, but it lacks the functionality of returning RADIUS attributes other than those that are required for the gateway to authenticate the users.""I would like to see the solution meet the integration needs at our company...Improving the solution's integration feature would be beneficial."
