More SailPoint IdentityIQ Pros →

"The keystore feature has been most valuable for us.""The product provides easy integration between API manager and IT server components.""Some of the valuable features of the solution are the easy integration with processes, such as Single Sign-On. Overall WSO2 is straightforward and does not need customization.""Comprehensive ecosystem.""The single sign-on procedure itself, as well as the ability to connect to external user sources such as Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP servers, are the solution's most valuable features.""I would rate the solution's stability eight or nine out of ten.""It's very easy to implement everything."

Cons
"I would like for the next release to have a more user-friendly interface.""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 is not very user-friendly.""The advanced provisioning features require more improvement.""Some setups should be done in the interface and in the code, and could be made simpler.""What it doesn't do is provide notice in the event of a vulnerability or offense from the security.""It is too technical. You need really good technical skills in Java and other technologies, which are hard to find. If they can make it easier so that things can be done with a few clicks, it will be great.""Regarding the scope for improvement in the solution, reporting is an area that can be a bit more UI-oriented."

More SailPoint IdentityIQ Cons →

"This solution requires extensive knowledge to be used effectively as certain areas of its use are not user friendly.""Sometimes working with the code is difficult because I search for documentation about the code and how to work with the code, which is where I believe they should improve, by providing some documentation on how to work with the code.""The high availability architecture has to be improved.""This solution does not have BPM workflows already integrated, we had to integrate the BPM module externally. They do not provide full-featured auditing and certification modules out of the box.""The solution could improve its development from a user perspective.""I found the initial setup to be very complex.""There needs to be a good support model and easy-to-understand documentation."
