How does SailPoint synchronize identity data?

SailPoint synchronizes identity data primarily through the use of connectors that regularly pull and push information between various systems and applications. This method ensures that identity data across different platforms remains consistent and up-to-date. Connectors are designed to automate the exchange of information, allowing for real-time synchronization or scheduled updates depending on the configuration.

This approach is efficient because it reduces the potential for human error associated with manual data entry, ensuring that the identity governance process is scalable and manageable, especially in environments with a large number of applications and users. Additionally, this automated handling of identity data supports compliance efforts by maintaining accurate records and facilitating audits.

Other methods, such as manual entry by administrators, updating records based on user requests, or conducting scheduled audits, may not provide the level of efficiency or accuracy required for effective identity management in dynamic and extensive IT environments.
