What it is

SailPoint IdentityIQ is an identity-security platform for complex enterprises, covering identity lifecycle management and compliance. Compliance Manager automates access certifications, policy management, and audit reporting. Lifecycle Manager supports self-service access requests and provisioning for joiner, mover, and leaver events. AI and machine learning capabilities provide access insights, role modeling, and recommendations for reviewers. SailPoint documents more than 100 out-of-the-box connectors across enterprise applications, IT service management, privileged access, cloud collaboration, and security and risk. APIs and a plugin framework allow customers and partners to extend the platform. IdentityIQ is customer-hosted, on premises or in the cloud, and is listed for Android, iOS, web, API, and self-hosted use. Pricing is available on request; the term subscription is typically a three-year contract billed annually upfront, with price depending partly on the number of digital identities governed. SailPoint says implementations can be complex and require identity-governance and target-system knowledge, and professional services are billable.
