The main strengths are: advanced access certifications, well-supported segregation of duties (SoD), clear entitlement governance, continuous audit and compliance, as well as comprehensive management of the Joiner / Mover / Leaver lifecycle.

What I like best about SailPoint is the centralized visibility it provides over identities and access. The platform offers a clear interface, strong integration capabilities, and useful automation for access requests, role management, and certifications. It helps us improve governance while reducing manual work. SailPoint is expensive, but the value is there for large organizations with complex access governance needs. The automation, centralized visibility, and stronger compliance controls can justify the cost by reducing manual work and security risks.

SailPoint simplifies the process of submitting access requests for multiple applications, whether the request is for myself or for an entire team. The workflow provides clear visibility into the current stage of each request, allowing me to easily identify pending actions and follow up with the appropriate approvers to ensure timely completion. I primarily use SailPoint for internal access management, especially during the onboarding process for new team members. Our Development team requires access to a specific set of applications and resources, and SailPoint efficiently manages the entire provisioning process. Compared to traditional request methods such as JIRA or IT helpdesk tickets, SailPoint’s integration offers a more streamlined, transparent, and efficient approach to managing application access and user permissions.
