## What the models said for it

- "Top Recommendation: SailPoint IdentityIQ / IdentityNow (now part of SailPoint by Thoma Bravo)" (Grok 4.20, IGA)
- "SailPoint remains the IGA benchmark with AI-driven certifications" (Claude Haiku 4.5, IGA)

## And against it

- "you likely don't have a dedicated team of 5–10 Identity Engineers to spend 9 months implementing heavy legacy enterprise platforms (like traditional SailPoint IdentityIQ or Oracle)" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, IGA)
- "its on-premise version is notoriously complex. If your team treats it as a software package rather than a development framework, implementations frequently stall" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, IGA)
- "Traditional enterprise giants like SailPoint IdentityIQ or Saviynt can take 6–12+ months to deploy and often require dedicated implementation teams." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, IGA)
- "too small to justify the massive implementation costs and licensing of traditional enterprise suites (like SailPoint IdentityIQ or Saviynt)" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, IGA)
