AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that SailPoint excels in ease of setup, with users highlighting its straightforward implementation process that minimizes the time and resources needed to get the system operational. In contrast, OpenText NetIQ Identity Manager has received feedback indicating that while it is scalable, the initial learning curve can be steep, particularly with its Designer interface.
- Users say that SailPoint's user lifecycle management features are particularly beneficial for user access reviews, with many appreciating its robust security measures, such as regular data backups. Meanwhile, OpenText NetIQ Identity Manager is praised for its real-time synchronization capabilities, which ensure immediate updates during critical events like terminations.
- According to verified reviews, OpenText NetIQ Identity Manager stands out for its administration tools, which users describe as the best in the market, allowing for effective deployment and management. SailPoint, while also effective, has received mixed feedback regarding its administrative capabilities, suggesting it may not be as intuitive for some users.
- Reviewers mention that SailPoint's platform approach is impressive, continually evolving to incorporate new capabilities, which users find beneficial for future-proofing their identity management needs. In contrast, OpenText NetIQ Identity Manager is noted for its scalability, effectively supporting organizations ranging from 5,000 to over 200,000 users, but may lack the same level of ongoing innovation.
- Users highlight that OpenText NetIQ Identity Manager offers strong bulk change capabilities, making it easier to manage large-scale updates. SailPoint, while effective, has received feedback indicating that its bulk management features could be improved to match the efficiency seen in OpenText's offering.
