Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system. Gluu filters and displays relevant information based on the user's role in the processes. Users can set it up to view as a viewer, worker, manager, or controller of the area. The front end offers different views but provides an easy dashboard for employees. On the dashboard, users can configure it to show tasks, related work instructions, and connected processes. It's very user-friendly, allowing end-users to understand their tasks and processes without needing in-depth knowledge.

Access lifecycle has been streamlined but connectors for non‑human identities still need improvement
We currently use IdentityIQ and do not have SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We only have IdentityIQ on-premises. I do not have extensive experience with analytics, but I know that there are custom reports available to obtain information about data in SailPoint. I am not entirely familiar with analytics data. It is difficult to score because you have to compare with another product to assess it. We are satisfied with IdentityIQ. However, I understand that we will not have a choice but to move to a cloud solution in the future because SailPoint is not investing in new upgrades or evolution of IdentityIQ. My overall rating for this product is 7.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Gluu has a mobile app catering to field workers. Normal workers use the web app, a complete cloud-based solution. They log in on any device and access the system."
"Most of the features are related to banking within this particular IT industry. Security and the market are also important features."
"The initial setup isn't so difficult."
"Previously, when someone came on board, it took them almost a week or two to get access, to settle in, to be able to become productive; now, with SailPoint, we can get all of that done within a few hours, which has decreased the onboarding process and increased productivity."
"This solution has made my client's customers' journeys a lot better."
"SailPoint has an edge in terms of security since administrators have limited access, unlike ServiceNow where you can change everything. This adds a significant security advantage."
"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 most valuable feature for our customers and for us is the identity data warehouse."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The tool integrates AI into the process modeling aspect. I believe this addition will significantly enhance usability. Additionally, it might be beneficial to have the capability to import content from other tools into this platform. Our platform follows its business process modeling notation standard, which differs from BPM. It uses a simpler notation, making it easier. The ability to import content from other tools could accommodate users accustomed to different standards."
"I would like to see features around federation, authentication, authorization, and AI APIs with a ChatGPT interface."
"There is a need for further enhancements, specifically in the multifactor authentication capabilities."
"Certification functions adequately. However, I think there are limitations with connectors."
"Complex configuration if you want to have AD forest architecture in place."
"The cost of this solution is high."
"The solution needs to have more out-of-the-box integration with different applications and solutions."
"SailPoint IdentityIQ has a primitive AI engine."
"The product must improve its support."
"The interface should be simple and easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cheaper compared to typical German products. I rate the product’s pricing a four out of ten."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price of the solution could improve, it is not priced well for smaller businesses to afford."
"Usually, the cost of deploying about 5,000 licenses or 5,000 users, would be the equivalent to the cost of the license, which would be reaching up to around $90,000."
"I found the pricing to be relatively high."
"We pay an annual licensing cost for SailPoint IdentityIQ."
"Its price is okay. It provides good value for money. It is subscription-based. You can go for a one-year or three-year subscription."
"SailPoint is expensive compared to its competitors. It's one of the most expensive products, so I'd rate it as one out of five, cost-wise."
"You are able to get discounts if you plan to use the tool for the long-term i.e. discounts for 5+ years of usage."
"This is an expensive solution. I would rate it a two and a half out of five for pricing."
