Featured Reviews

Chintan-Vyas - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to set up with good behavior-based analysis but needs a single-click recovery option
Most organizations are currently looking for a scheduled scan to meet their compliance needs. Other players like Symantec and Trend Micro, FireEye, et cetera, are still providing the signature-based regular scheduled scans also, which is not available in CrowdStrike. That is one parameter that we feel should be there in CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike is only working on the dynamic or the files under execution. CrowdStrike is not scanning the static files. The product could be more accurate in terms of performance. We'd like to have a single-click recovery option. With some machines getting corrupted by malware, we need an easy way to start with a blank slate if things happen. That one feature should be there in the EDR.
VinayM - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management
The technical support team's response time could be improved. After the implementation, Saviynt should provide good support to their customers. While migrating from legacy applications to the cloud, Saviynt has many bugs. The lift and shift are not very seamless. There are a lot of customizations to be done and some development is required. From the migration point of view, the solution is a little buggy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It's given me a level of confidence that my network is secure."
"The most valuable features of CrowdStrike Falcon include Falcon Fusion workflows and endpoint detection capabilities."
"It helps to prevent unauthorized access or identity theft from external sites. If your identity is stolen, you can ban it."
"Falcon has the capacity to identify potential problems quickly. The administrator can deploy the agent, and the users cannot change it. This assures you that the agent remains on this device. Also, the agent can act preemptively to provide alerts about potential problems."
"The stability is very good."
"The detection is very effective."
"The UI is simple and self-explanatory. Everything is easy to understand."
"The workflow in Saviynt is easier compared to other tools. It's pretty straightforward."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
"It is very easy to use. It addresses most of the trends in identity governance and risk management."
"Saviynt has better integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Microsoft, Adobe, and AWS."
"The feature that we use the most is the global, third-party user management."
"Some of the self-service capabilities are quite powerful."
"Saviynt is used for the greenfield implementation for the whole IAM, IGA, MFA, SSO, and access management."
"It gives very good and in-depth knowledge about a particular identity. Everything is through a single click. We get to know the workflows related to a particular identity with a single click."
 

Cons

"I have experience with a product called SentinelOne, which has a feature that allows for the customization of query languages. I would like to see such a feature for CloudStrike."
"I have worked with their technical support on several problems that were never fully resolved."
"The solution needs to have integration with on-premises security devices and security facilities. That means all the security products, including the perimeter firewall, the DMZ."
"We have had to open a case with the technical support to get some issues and bugs resolved."
"The support for different OS versions needs improvement because sometimes due to business conditions, updating our OS is impossible."
"The ability to receive text alerts natively in the console would be kind of cool."
"The management of the solution could improve."
"CrowdStrike needs to quit making up stuff about its features and functionality to bash its competition."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"An area for improvement in Saviynt is that there's a limitation on the number of logs you can get from the past twenty-four hours. For example, if the data is huge, the tool can only give you a maximum of one hundred logs. You can't get any further than that. In the next version of Saviynt, however, you can get more logs and you'll see them inside the log rotation. For example, when you're trying to search inside the log, you can select a date range, and then you can search for a particular log. We haven't used that new log rotation feature yet, but it's included in the next release of Saviynt. Another area for improvement in the tool is that it doesn't have a server monitoring feature, so if your server has a high load, it should give you a warning. You're supposed to get an alert similar to what's being done in WebLogic. In WebLogic, we had a separate facility, but in Saviynt, that feature's missing."
"The UI doesn’t enhance the user experience."
"The product can improve the customer support offered to users since it is an area with shortcomings."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"The technical support team's response time could be improved."
"The main difficulty was the integration process itself. But we were able to kind of work through it and fix it. We tried integrating with our HR system and other IBM solutions, like Microsoft Identity Management."
"The customer support and implementation services need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a yearly subscription and find the price to be good. I'd give it a rating of four out of five for price, we got a good discount."
"The licensing model is straightforward. We choose the features we want and we then can download the package we want."
"All I can say about the licensing cost is that it's negotiable."
"We pay 40,000 dirhams per 100 users."
"It's an expensive solution but you get a very good product for the price. Compared to other products, SentinelOne is definitely cheaper and the Microsoft E5 package is probably more expensive. Not many companies are willing to purchase CrowdStrike Falcon in Turkey due to the cost, but the market is changing."
"The cost of CrowdStrike Falcon in Latin America seems high relative to the economic conditions in the region."
"We are at about $60,000 per year."
"CrowdStrike is a reasonably priced tool."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."
"Saviynt's pricing is acceptable and licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."
