**Direct answer:** IdentityIQ is the on-prem (or self-hosted) IGA platform you customise with Beanshell, XML and workflows. IdentityNow is SailPoint’s SaaS IGA. Chennai JDs still say “SailPoint” for both — read the JD for IIQ, Beanshell, or IdentityNow/cloud. SkilBrill splits them into two courses so Google and humans are not shown the same page twice.

Differences that matter in a project

Which should you learn?

If your target employers are Indian SI IAM practices, IIQ still appears on a large share of RFPs. If you want SaaS-only and faster labs, IdentityNow. Many seniors touch both; juniors should pick one and finish a capstone.
