Keeper vs. SailPoint Identity Platform

I can only think of scenarios where Keeper is well-suited, in my experience. I work in small business (i.e., sole proprietor, 1 employee) environments and Keeper is well-suited to my needs. I imagine it would also be well-suited to multi-user environments, but would require a great deal more management and organization in such environments.

We are happy with the management of the Id, accounts where the user can request any access easily. Also the many connector which Sailpoint is offering in order to onboard lots of applications is quite helpful. The access review module has also have been improve so that large campaigns can we work out easily.

Where we see some improvement is on the UI as here it is not so intuitive for the end user, so that we need to make lots of communications and training so that the user is able to understand how to use it.

For the administration and creation of roles it also would be great to have some improvements here to make it more easily its management.

• Ease of use. User find it simple and intuitive to use and I find they rapidly adjust to the software with minimal training.
• Single-sign-on. Super important and really makes things simple for the users and easy to manage for us in the IT team.
• Sharing features. We knew sharing was a key component of our password management solution. Keeper makes it easy for users and simple to administer.

• Brings users access, profiles and accounts all into one place
• Manages the Life Cycle Management process across ALL identities, permanent and Temporary
• Secures and manages access to critical applications and resources across the group
• Enables Info. Security to customise, share and delegate authority across the group
• Single version of the truth across our technology platform

• I find that Keeper could use some work with their desktop interface, a sleeker and friendlier user interface would definitely benefit them.
• Keeper doesn’t have a Security Dashboard, which makes it more complicated to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your passwords.
• The automatic web form filling is somewhat limited at the time, but im sure they will improve it soon.

• 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.

It's just easy to use, plain and simple. It has the complexity and user-interface that gives you confidence in its build but the ease-of-use that keep things from getting too complicated. A huge plus when you have to onboard new members of the team or summer interns when you need them to step in and make orders on your behalf.

Overall usablity is excellent. The product is capable of performing all the expected tasks for a IAM solution.

Because it is so good. It always works, has not crashed even in 3 years; I have a lot of data in it (never any problems).

Support for Customizations is very limited.

Implementation was done correctly and all the requirements were met.

I have used the Apple cloud, but if you forget your password into that, once again, you’re at the mercy of calling customer service. With Keeper, you can use the thumbprint option to log on, and there’s any of your needed passwords. It’s fast and simple, and you don’t have to wait online to unlock the app you’ve locked yourself out of.

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.

• The spreadsheets and printed papers being passed around the office with passwords on them have gone! This is a huge security hole plugged.
• Users actively use the software which says something - it is easy to use and intuitive. When software is not intuitive, it tends to not get used.
• It gives IT control over who does what with passwords, and while difficult to quantify it is certainly a dramatically positive impact on the organization.

• 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.
