SailPoint Identity Security for the cloud enterprise manages risk from the explosion of technology access. The solution gives businesses visibility while automating and accelerating the management of all user identities, entitlements, systems, data and cloud services.
IF you are looking for api testing solution along with service virtualization, then look no further than this tool. This tool also forces you to move your testing lifecycle to much earlier phases of development which helps overall SDLC.
As discussed in previous sections, it does integrate well with other systems, and basic JML works well; it's very powerful and customizable in these areas (though also complex). The downsides are in areas like access reviews, where it's less customizable (no way to automatically send a review to the owner for a set of access items; each review needs an individual to be selected for it).
It immensely helps to change your entire testing lifecycle approach and to implement Shift Left approach with the extensive emphasis on testing the api's.
This is a great tool to implement Service virtualization for your and/or third-party web services. This will ensure we have 100% environment availability and consistency for automation and performance test environments.
This tool also helps you with test data setup and management which is a very crucial piece of test automation.
It also helps us to implement performance testing for apis using the Blazemeter.
This tool comes with a license cost and not free. Many open source tools offer free api testing solution and so making some functionality of this tool as open source would be good
Load testing piece is not integrated with in the tool and rather uses Blaze meter which is free.
Some integration with UI and api testing will make this tool even more attractive
The user interface is not very intuitive. It is hard for the occasional user to navigate through the request process. There are no instructions on the screen to help the user to know what to do. It is left up to the user to figure out what to click on and how to navigate through the process.
Its a best tool for a CISO, works very well, easy to use, great connectors and integrations, great reports, automated reviews, full compliance, great support to a JML (Joiners, Movers and Leavers) project;
Always improving the UI, so it's getting better. Some areas are fully featured, but others, such as Separation of Duties reporting and policies, are very weak.
The first journey isn't easy because you need to win your internal process and problem concern and Sailpoint have many experience to support this phase, and make the real difference into the client experience;
It definitely is among the top leaders in API testing and virtualization along with the Parasoft SOA tool. Many open source API testing libraries such as Rest Assured, Karate and even Postman and SOAP UI are free which is a little bit against CA.
The on-prem SailPoint IdentityIQ platform provides the necessary customization that is required in our dynamic environment. Although we may look at a cloud-based Identity Management service again in the future, (there are many advantages), our identity management, authentication, and application assignment processes cannot be quickly consolidated to a single cloud-based service at this time.
This tool gave a very positive ROI in our group. Especially with service virtualization where we minimized the downtime in our test environments significantly.
Also, service virtualization helps to minimize the costs of hitting third party services often in lower environments.
Over 300,000 password change/reset calls avoided to the helpdesk annually.
1,000 plus accounts with proper accesses provisioned via automated birthright processes weekly versus 1-2 days of manual provisioning and approvals. With a call center population that churns many people per week, this brings many dollars of efficiency to the operations teams.
Flexibility on terminations to manage accounts and access for target applications based on regulatory or business rules to ensure compliance and avoid fines for non-compliance.
