Waleed Omar - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides effective real-time threat detection with potential for cost optimization
Some features such as device control, firewall management, and file analysis are standalone products that we need to purchase separately. If these features came out of the box within the product, it would be much more beneficial for us. Other providers such as SentinelOne include these features in their base product. We attended a CrowdStrike Falcon event where they discussed some shallow AI features, but we cannot see these in our panel yet. We work with different solutions such as Darktrace and SocRadar, where AI features are automatically displayed in our dashboards after release. However, for CrowdStrike Falcon, we cannot see these features.
Suresh Kumar Subramaniyan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has delivered strong identity automation while support response could be faster
With either SailPoint or Saviynt, I utilize this product, as do some of my clients, with AWS as a main cloud provider. We are not using AWS; we were using only Saviynt. We never used AWS because we don't have any customers for AWS. Saviynt likely uses an AWS server for their database, though I'm not certain how they utilize AWS services. The cloud-native capabilities of Saviynt contribute to enhanced cloud security as they are operating a cloud-based solution. Saviynt's capabilities for automating user provisioning and access are excellent, and their IGA functionality is perfect. The specific details about their IGA capability show excellence in terms of automated onboarding, off-boarding process, and JML processes, making it a strong solution in this market. I rate Saviynt 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Regarding features, I appreciate its integration capabilities with identity providers...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's ability to do threat hunting is really great, quite robust, and even allows you to do hygiene stuff."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is crowdsourcing intelligence."
"It has definitely minimized resources. When everything was on-prem, there was a lot more work maintaining it. One of the big value tickets: I don't have lists of hundreds of exceptions for certain applications that I have to maintain, add, delete, and move. The very nature of the product has lessened my workload considerably."
"The most valuable feature is the indicator of compromise, which show you what file was either quarantined or removed."
"The machine learning behavior for anomaly detection is a valuable feature. It helps identify any suspicious or unusual activities within the system."
"The most valuable feature of CrowdStrike Falcon is its accuracy."
"I like the overall reports of this solution. They are crisp, and to the point."
"The most valuable aspect of Saviynt is its market acceptance."
"This product works well out of the box and if you don’t want to do a lot of configuration then this is the best tool."
"The repository has many features where you can define primary and secondary owners."
"One of the tool's advantages is its user-friendly interface, making it easier to manipulate from a GUI perspective. The graphical user interface for users and administrators is straightforward. While it may require more configuration initially, once set up, it becomes more accessible and easier to use."
"The product is flexible to use."
"The product has a great attestation feature."
"Saviynt risk-based access requests and intelligent access controls have made a significant impact on our company."
"The dedicated Freshdesk platform is a user community and a step in the right direction for offering learning resources."
 

Cons

"We can't do scanning audits or device blocking or application control."
"This solution is relatively expensive."
"The pricing is a bit too high."
"The overall cost of CrowdStrike Falcon could be reduced."
"The price is too high."
"Deployment in cloud environments is challenging. Another concern is CrowdStrike's GUI. It changes annually, making it hard to work and find options."
"We would like to be able to perform on-demand scanning, rather than relying on the scheduler."
"This solution could be improved with greater scope for admins to make changes to the solution."
"Considering the shortcomings of the tool, I would say that the training part of the product needs improvement."
"Saviynt cannot customize based on customer needs."
"The tool is difficult to migrate."
"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt. For workflows and other things, we can only use what is already in place. Saviynt has a lot of scope for improvement on the customization part."
"Both SailPoint IdentityNow and Saviynt have some bugs, but SailPoint is considered more mature with fewer bugs due to its longer establishment in the market since around 2005. SailPoint had its share of bugs in the early days, but they have resolved them over time, resulting in a stable product. Saviynt, on the other hand, was launched around 2013 or 2014 and is actively working to improve its product. Despite having some bugs, Saviynt is making progress and aims to build a stable product, but it is not there yet."
"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."
"The product's stability is not easy to maintain."
"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CrowdStrike is well priced. On a yearly basis, it costs between $60 and $100 per user."
"As I'm part of the technical team, not the budgeting team, I don't have information on CrowdStrike Falcon pricing."
"The price is fixed with no room for negotiation."
"The pricing will depend upon your volume of usage."
"It has an annual license, and it is not that expensive."
"I would like them to further reduce the price, because it is quite pricey at the moment."
"The price is too high."
"Crowdstrike Falcon is relatively cheap."
"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."
"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"Saviynt has a competitive price."
"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"
"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."
"The price of the license for this product is quite expensive."
