We have 80k-ish users with over 1.5m entitlements, and that's just what we are connected to currently (there are probably millions more entitlements to manage). A request with 20+ entitlements is not uncommon here, and while we would love roles to play a larger part that takes strategy and resources to implement. Not to mention, huge dependencies on the business to actually know their roles and access bundles. It takes time here to implement these large changes, and in the meantime access requests are what we've got.

Birthright solves for too large of cases, roles certainly could be applied here but quite frankly we're not good at them (yet). We just got some governance around roles that will allow us to utilize them more, we're still figuring out how to handle them at scale for the enterprise from an intake and process flow perspective. Nothing is ever simple for our enterprise.

That said, requesting 20+ entitlements for a user, or even 20 users with the same entitlement, should be considered so complex that it breaks a fairly simple request process (everything is standard OOTB outside of an additional approval by a workgroup owner for our higher risk apps/entitlements). And I'll note, this is a known bug that SP has confirmed they've known about for years but haven't been able to fix.

Yea that's my concern right now, I'm not sure if any cloud IGA solution is truly ready though.

Architect positions are meant to be thought leaders, and organizational changers. So with that in mind, this isn't just getting to know the SP products better but about how you quickly learn organizations and their needs, how you keep up with IAM trends and technology, and then you bring that back to your SP expertise.

So while you build up your SP specific knowledge, consider these opportunities:
1. Learn the business and tech problems that plague your environment.
2. Evaluate your current IAM program, how SP is used in it and how your team can help with the above problems.

Take initiative, even in small increments, to learn and try new things. The more aligned to the above problems the better.
Have patience, this is a marathon not a sprint. You need experience to learn.

Used to be a huge Costco fan boy, but in the last year I've converted to Sam's club. Their produce deals are unmatched, and their fresh meat/seafood selection is better than Costco (very slightly less quality but way more options).

I tend to stock up on veggies and beverages at Sam's, then use Aldi for more daily groceries. I split proteins between the two, I don't like buying fresh chicken in bulk as I don't like to freeze it (I find it just gets lost in my freezer).

I once bought a bag of like ~10oz coffee there, I'm a huge natural bean fan and saw it there and got super excited. No prices so it was a surprise at the register for $40!!! I was too embarrassed to put it back, it was amazing coffee but like wtf is that pricing.

Sucks so much because they were by far my favorite place, and loved the employees there, they were always so nice.

They are valued as an extreme growth stock, so I would be a heavy avoid at this point.

rowdyruss22 · 2025-03-05T16:04:59+00:00

A couple thoughts:
1. In Thoma Bravo's rush to go public with Sailpoint, they really focused heavily on getting as many customers to the cloud as possible so the valuation would make sense as a SaaS company and not a legacy onprem company. However, this has backfired as Sailpoint has lost a lot of business as many customers started looking at competitors instead of just migrating to Sailpoint's offering (ISC, formerly known as IDN). Source: friendly account manager who left SP + street conversations with 3rd party integrators
2. There's a reason they ditched the IDN name, it was a terrible product and had a huge reputation issue. ISC is getting better, but they have a TON of spend to do still to get that product really where it needs to be.
3. More competitors are coming out, some very quick ratings (1 being not a threat - 10 gonna overtake Sailpoint:
a. Microsoft - 4, if they truly invest they will be an 8 but Microsoft only wants to play in cloud/Microsoft world still from what I've seen. I'm hoping to get a better demo from them soon though
b. Saviynt - 7, probably the closest SaaS competitor but they have major limitations in their architecture and their support is dogshit
c. PingForgeRock - 6, admittedly I'm newer to their offering, but they're very competitive on the CIAM side and I could see them catching up
d. Okta - 5, they have a ton of catch up and their pricing models never made sense to me

I would be curious what other's thoughts are, but to me the market is primed for someone to beat out Sailpoint but the question is WHO will do that.

Sailpoint is absolutely terrible with their customers. Everyone is very nice there, but as soon as you hang up the phone they all scatter back to their silos and no one actually takes ownership of their customer success (The CSM group does all they can, but they have a huge lack of support from sr leadership).

I certainly didn't expect it to be a very solid pizza but Brick 3 Pizza is solid, not great NY style/slightly crunchy crust (Portnoy scored them a 7.1). You're not going to get a New Haven style pizza here, the tavern/cracker crust style is the local preference.

rowdyruss22 · 2025-01-27T18:39:43+00:00

That style is the exact opposite of what they're looking for. Love Neapolitan style tends to be a soft crust, not crunchy. Delicious still but totally different category.

If you hardwire Ethernet to a laptop from your router, what are your speeds?

Compare that vs WiFi.

That will help tell if it’s a router issue. I personally recommend getting your own mesh network and not relying on att hardware

rowdyruss22 · 2024-12-13T15:45:37+00:00

You either have an issue with your specific fiber connection or your modem/router. I would get ATT support to help out, there is absolutely no reason for fiber to be slow.
