### "SailPoint: The best IAM tool."

July 20, 2023

4.0

So my conclusion is one should definitely go for SailPoint without any second thought as its helping organization in managing there identities securely.

Pros

There are a lot of things I liked about this product among all the best is the customization that the product allows me in my organization we have customized the Joiner, Mover and Leaver.

Cons

Sometimes the product behaves very abnormal because of the cache issues which the team is working on it.

### "A secure identity management software"

March 18, 2023

4.0

Though expensive, our IT systems are simplified with the use of SailPoint

Pros

We discover and reduce security risks and compliance breaches with the help of SailPoint's identity analytics and reporting capabilities. This advanced security features are important for us.

Cons

SailPoint is expensive and it has a steep learning curve. The administrators have to train for a couple of weeks before they are allowed access to the system.

### "Good for very specific use cases"

March 13, 2019

3.0

I've used SailPoint both as a pure IG solution and as an overall IDM solution. For an IG solution it works well even though the customization is still more than I prefer. As an IDM solution it requires far too much customization and is not "full featured" when compared to other products in the marketplace.

Pros

Provides a good identity governance view into your organization

Cons

It requires a considerable amount of customization to get it to work.

### "SailPoint IdentityIQ"

May 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

I like the proactive features like policy violations and multiple layers of approvals at request time. Reactive controls like certifications are helpful to the extent that users engage.

Cons

Does not scale well for large environments or when data is not 100% clean. For example we have many uncorrelated accounts and this is not handled well for certifications.

### "IdentityNow"

March 23, 2021

4.0

The overall experience with Sailpoint is fine, we did notice that the platform is starting to suffer from response delays and since we use the SaaS of IdentityNow it might seem that as more customers are being added the performance is being impacted.

Pros

Easy to connect to our internal application to extract user entitlements for managers certifications. We use IdentityNow for certification but we disabled provisioning.

Cons

UI and documentation needs some improvements. Search feature needs technical skills to get going and documentation is not readily available. I do note that Sailpoint are adding more documentation to the support portal.

Reason for choosing SailPoint

TCO and expandibility.

### "Sailpoint Identity IQ Review"

November 12, 2019

4.0

The experience is good. We use this tool daily basis for our client based in US. We on board and off-board the users on the daily basis. Assign them to a group so that they can access the system,

Pros

On-boarding and Off-boarding process is so easy. You can do it couple of minutes. Also Sailpoint Tool has a good user interface

Cons

The services needs to be improved like if the solution can make forms more customizable . Also it will take some time to get used to of the interface.

### "Database User Management made so easy !!!"

July 17, 2017

4.0

Ease of use, time saving, automation

Pros

We have over 2000 databases in our organization, for Sybase and Oracle. Identity IQ from Sailpoint has been a boon for us to manage the accounts of all our users at one spot, and to simplify the process of provisioning and deprovisioning. Identity IQ can also be configured to use business rules in scenarios where there are too many parameters to take in consideration. The tool we used previously wasn't this stable and flexible.

Cons

The interface takes some time to get used to. Some features we requested are promised in a future release, which means there is room for improvement

### "Access Control"

June 7, 2017

5.0

Pros

IdentityIQ provides an excellent one-stop shop for users to request access within our enterprise environment. Before, users needed to go to several different places depending on what access they needed. Now there is one location, and easy search tool, and notification emails for managers to approve which makes the process seamless.

Cons

I have found when working with users that the user interface is not as user friendly as one might think. When viewing it, it looks clean and easy, but time and time again users struggle to understand the flow.

### "Very easy to maintain"

July 17, 2017

4.0

User access management

Pros

It was always an important and a very tedious task to manage user access but with IIQ everything is made very simple and easy to use , we are able to manage and maintain users across the organization very easily for multiple flavors of the database .

Cons

Only issue I observed is while provisioning access to Oracle users , if you provision users with lowercase Oracle is not able to understand and causing issues .
