Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Offers built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features
What is our primary use case?
We use SailPoint IdentityIQ for identity governance and access management. There is no other vendor as good as this product.
What is most valuable?
I find the built-in connectors, lifecycle management, certification, and recertification features to be the most valuable.
What needs improvement?
Access management could be improved. SailPoint is known for its IT identity governance capabilities, but its access management features in one platform.
Comparing SailPoint's access management to that of competitors like CyberArk and Okta, there's a clear gap.
Additionally, regarding privilege access management, there's potential for improvement. If SailPoint can develop a connector for RPAQ, they could also extend their capabilities by adding more access management features and modules.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for three years. I am currently using version 8.3.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We actually have a lot of challenges with some of our applications. Some of them are not working properly, and the issues are not fixed. We are encountering some problems.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is hard, especially when you are doing it in real time. But, it would be eliminated once we have the first version of IdentityNow. So, the main goal for now is just to eliminate maintenance costs or run the entire infrastructure. That's why we plan to migrate it to the SaaS version of SailPoint.
We have more than 10,000 end users. We use it daily, 24/7 operation.
How was the initial setup?
Initially, I had difficulties, but with time, I gained experience. Especially integrating legacy applications like ARPAQ. Over time, it became easier, but integrating legacy apps remains a typical issue.
In terms of user experience, I don't have any complaints. We are planning to migrate to the cloud.
What about the implementation team?
We did it in-house with the help of a third-party vendor experienced in deploying SailPoint.
The deployment took a couple of weeks in a test environment before going into production.
We require maybe around four people because, in our company, we have different roles and responsibilities. So, from another perspective, from the system administrator, we require around four resources.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is affordable licensing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Currently, we are looking for another option, which is EmpowerID.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. If you want to start, go better directly to the cloud, instead of installing it on-prem.

A powerful solution with high-customization capabilities
What is our primary use case?
I'm working on the implementation. I have encountered various use cases for the solution. Among the most common are clients using life cycle management, role-based access control, policy evaluation, and risk scores. Clients have widely utilized password reset functionality. Recently, contractor onboarding directly from IdentityIQ has emerged as a use case.
Additionally, clients have used the platform for access management tasks such as requesting new access, adding or removing accesses, and creating accounts. Furthermore, integrations with ServiceNow have become viable.

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.
