ManageEngine Password Manager Pro vs. SailPoint Identity Platform

It's great for any company that relies on active-directory as their primary source of user password authentication and other data. It's ability to integrate with a host of other tools such as Google Workspace, Azure AD (if you aren't using ADFS/DirSync/etc.), FreshService, Trello, etc. as well local apps like Postgres, i/AS400, and more make it a great middleware tool for SS.

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.

• PMP is great for sorting passwords into different groups depending on the category of application access. This makes it easy to find the password that you are looking for.
• Application credentials can easily be saved to the clipboard to make it easier to copy and paste them into the appropriate log in screen.
• Different types of credentials for the same application can be stored next to each other and are easy to distinguish by the icon next to the name. For example, SSH credentials, web credentials, and local root credentials are all easy to sort under one application group.

• 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

• There is no flexibility in how accounts are grouped.
• The implementation of lowest privilege means you cannot use groups for assigning role based security. If you give a team read access, and a limited subset of the team write access, the read access supersedes write.
• Some versions have been fragile. There have been times where the server has stopped working and needed a restart daily/weekly. Read the issues resolved in updates. There have been some critical failures in security over the years (i.e. unauthorized access possible by URL manipulation).

• 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.

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

Implementation was done correctly and all the requirements were met.

We evaluated one on-premise solution, Password Manager Pro, one cloud-based solution called Passwordstate to store all sensitive password information and also secure notes. The latter was licensed by users, so we knew as the team grew it would cost quite a lot more to maintain. We wanted access for various users within the information technology and systems department at a granular level to have separation of the various passwords into categories which we then give permission relevant for the right users.

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.

• Reduce our overall cost of ownership thanks to this affordable password tool
• Reduce time spent in the process or on tasks to remind a password to change or to apply policy directly integrated with the tool
• Improve security through complexity and auto-regeneration
• Improve change control for account passwords inside RFC process

• 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.
