I think SailPoint Identity Platform stacks better than most IAM tools and solution though a lot of SaaS IAM solutions are already available, can compete and are at par with its features and capabilities.

IdentityIQ provides a more complete solution for a fraction of the cost of other solution providers. It is easy to work with and provided very effective management of all aspects of the access management process.
Chose SailPoint Identity Security Cloud
All these products are really good at some key areas. They are all different and solve different parts of the puzzle. IIQ is more of a centric focal point that manages and maintains access in a vendor-agnostic way. It helps bridge the gap at the identity layer for different …

SailPoint Identity Security CloudShareGate

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's great for all kinds of migrations big and small. The reports are also very usefull and the MS Teams administration options are a bonus. It's file/networkdrive migration options could be completere but they work. I hope ShareGate will invest some more effort in to that feature. ShareGate is quite complete as it is right now.

Pros
  • The access request work flow and back end process is exceptional. It effectively manages all of the various pieces of a request and presents the completed request to the provisioning agent as a single record. This is very helpful to the efficiency of the process since the provisioning agent only sees the completed request rather than seeing each component as it is approved. Other systems deliver the various request components to provisioning as they are approved but cannot be provisioned without all the components. Thus creating complexity for the provisioning agent and impacting the SLAs with what looks like a delay with the provisioning process.
  • The system is robust enough to effectively handle the scale that we need. With 750+ applications, 24,304 individual entitlements to select from, and an average of 10,200 request transactions per month. We have never had any performance issues.
  • The system flexible enough to accommodate our complex business needs without needing to customize the base system. We have been able to add significant functionality to the system in order to support the business needs by extending the code rather than altering the base code. This has enabled a simple upgrade of the system without having to re-apply code enhancements.

Cons
  • Technical adoption requires a high level of training and experience by the implementing teams.
  • SailPoint and partners offers very good training courses which I think are very good. An area of improvement can be in providing cloud VMs that users can work with to learn the IIQ tool more effectively at their own pace.

It is a powerful tool for copying files along with their associated metadata and version history. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and supports workflow migrations. However, it may not be ideal for non-technical users. Currently, it does not support Power Platform workflow migrations and lacks a pause function—offering only start or stop options during migration.

Usability
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.
Read full review
Overall, I am very satisfied with the ShareGate tool, which is used effectively for migration purposes, not only to migrate the contents from SharePoint to SharePoint but also to the contents from file share to SharePoint. This tool helps us review the warnings/errors from the migrations quickly and helps us identify what caused the errors. I hope the ShareGate product team will consider migration of power automated workflows using this tool in future releases.

The tool is generally very reliable, with minimal downtime or unplanned outages. It performs consistently during migrations and administrative tasks, and users rarely encounter critical application errors.

Performance
No answers on this topic
In most cases, ShareGate performs well—pages load quickly, and reports are generated in a reasonable timeframe, even for moderately complex environments. Its interface is responsive, and it handles standard migrations and administrative tasks efficiently. However, performance can slow down during very large migrations or when processing high volumes of data, especially if the source or destination environments are heavily customized

Scalability
No answers on this topic
ShareGate scales well across departments and sites, supporting large migrations and tenant moves with strong Microsoft 365 integration. However, it lacks advanced automation, Power Platform support, and pause/resume functionality, which can limit its effectiveness in highly complex or enterprise-scale environments.

Return on Investment
  • The ability to automate the employee onboarding processes greatly reduces the staffing requirements for account creation and access assignment
  • The self-service capabilities for the account registration and password management tasks have greatly reduced the number of calls to our Help Desk
  • The role mining capabilities have reduced the amount of time required to assign and update our user application set mapping

  • Share gate has saved my colleagues and I hundreds of hours of migration headaches
  • Share Gates reporting tools as an administrator make my job very very simple.
  • The ROI could be measured alone in man hours saved migrating environments. That alone has probably paid for the licensing cost

It is also used to audit permissions security without scripting, or update permissions in bulk.Screenshot of the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.Screenshot of the team management interface, used to manage a SharePoint team and communication sites without PowerShell scripts. It is also used to build governance policies, and automatically spot risks, gaps and clutter.Screenshot of a display of who can do what in the SharePoint environment. From the interface, users can copy and edit permissions in bulk, control and review external sharing and guest access, or delegate control to owners to review, without leaving Teams.Screenshot of the interface where users can provision their workspaces using templates, with guardrails in place – like minimum owners, blueprint sites, naming conventions, multiple approvers, and privacy level.
