Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance vs. SailPoint Identity Security Cloud

Proofpoint Intelligent Compliance is well suited for organizations with a large amount of employees, in my opinion, as they have a lot of options for grouping users in various ways to send specific learning content to them. For a smaller organization, the employees might utilize all of the built-in training videos, phishing simulations, and content more rapidly, which would not justify the pricey cost of the tool.

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.

• Email archiving. Being able to access, on the fly, your entire email archive. Being able to filter by date, sender, attachment, etc. It can get really granular and is able to pull up records fast.
• Targeted Attack Protection for all incoming emails. Having the ability to automatically scan, quarantine, or re-write URLs within emails. Comparing incoming emails to potential phishing attempts already seen by other institutions.
• Email encryption & automatic encryption are based on certain rules set up on the firewall. e.g. automatically encrypt outgoing email if it has an attachment or contains a string of numbers that may be personal information.

• 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.

• Proofpoint Archive needs to be fine tunned
• Automate has to be more advance. M/L needs to upgrade
• Immutable data store needs to work well in all environments

• 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's hard to compare Proofpoint archiving and compliance to the rest of these products because I personally feel like they all integrate so well with each other. Using them all simultaneously creates a completed puzzle for our company that gives our users the power and the protection they need to stay safe in a world where threats are always around every corner. I can easily recommend the four Proofpoint products above and they all work well together.

SailPoint is a more customizable solution than Okta, it is also not just a cloud application. Our use of IIQ to manage external suppliers via Azure AD guest accounts was not available on other platforms at the point of deployment. The integration with SAP and other Microsoft services is also second to none.

• Eventually, we will be consolidating our archives into this solution. Having all archives in one location (from various migrations over the years) will cut down on admin time for legal matters, as well as not having to worry about duplicate emails from different archives.
• Admins will not have to search for emails that users deleted or can't find and now need. They can find their own emails.
• We can grant access to our legal team to run their own search and gather projects, which takes a decent amount of time off IT admins' plates.

• 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
