Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 11, 2026

CyberArk Privileged Access Manager and Saviynt Identity Cloud compete in the field of identity and access management. CyberArk appears to have the upper hand due to its specialization in privileged access management and comprehensive feature set.

Features: CyberArk Privileged Access Manager offers automated password management, session recording, and secure vaulting of credentials. Its modular architecture allows for high customization and supports a wide range of platforms. Saviynt Identity Cloud provides robust user access reviews and workflows, alongside a user-friendly interface, making it optimal for comprehensive access governance. It includes features like flexible report generation and built-in access recommendations.

Room for Improvement: CyberArk could improve its user interface and expand plugin connectivity to ensure better device compatibility. It also needs enhancements in reporting and user navigation. Saviynt requires better customer support responsiveness and needs to expand its plugin support, along with improving user interface design.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: CyberArk Privileged Access Manager is versatile for large enterprises, supporting on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud deployments, with efficient but occasionally variable customer service response times. Saviynt Identity Cloud is more cloud-oriented, supporting public and hybrid clouds. Although its customer service is improving, it needs to be faster and more effective.

Pricing and ROI: CyberArk is at the higher end of the pricing spectrum, reflecting its comprehensive feature set and market-leading position, with scalable licensing that offers strong long-term security benefits. Saviynt offers competitive pricing with a cost-effective, pay-as-you-go model, appealing to organizations seeking manageable expenses as they grow.

A potential area for improvement is enhancing support for cluster environments and distributed Vaults. Clients in multiple countries that need central access have different challenges that require better solutions from CyberArk. For financial services, CyberArk can improve incident response by ensuring fast support for critical priority tickets to meet compliance requirements. Providing more documentation on CyberArk is recommended for new team members to enhance their troubleshooting capabilities. I understand it's up to the client, but 99% fail to change the demo key, so it's crucial for CyberArk to emphasize changing the key and documenting it as part of the installation process.

One of the challenges regarding Saviynt is the lack of material available on the web, as searching on Google or YouTube often yields little information. Advertising Saviynt is necessary because I was not aware of it a couple of months ago, and it is a very helpful product for many organizations. In India, IGA solutions are not widely recognized, and Saviynt can utilize this point by promoting itself in the cybersecurity field. A significant challenge is the lack of people discussing Saviynt in the open market, as the forums provide slower responses compared to platforms like Reddit. Advancements related to AI would be very helpful. Saviynt should provide pricing for their university certifications, which is currently not publicly available. Information about enrolling requires an ID that is not easily obtained, as it can only be acquired through an organization. Some small wishlist features are related to APIs. As I work on projects, I find certain features to be much needed, but at a glance, they may not seem necessary. As I continue working with Saviynt, these small API-related features become apparent and would greatly enhance the experience.

More CyberArk Privileged Access Manager pros

"Saviynt is superior because it is user-friendly, and their fundamental phenomena are no-code, low-code, which means no customization is needed for the implementation part."

Cons

"There are upwards of six components you need to set it up. And you might need anywhere from two to five servers. It takes some work to set that up, especially in a larger environment."

"CyberArk Privileged Access Manager could improve the integration docking, it should have more layers. For example, integration with OpenShift."

"I don't know if "failed authentication" is a glitch or if that was an update... However, since we are the CyberArk support within our organization, we need to know that the password is suspended and we won't know that unless we have the ITA log up. So when a user calls and says, "Hey, I'm locked out of CyberArk, I can't get into CyberArk," we have to go through all of these other troubleshooting steps because the first thing we don't think of right now is, "The account is suspended." It doesn't say that anymore."

"It could be more user-friendly. Sometimes I encounter issues, and I do not know what the issue is. It takes a lot of time to find the error and fix it. Sometimes it gives an error, but I do not know what the error is. I have to find the documents, but it does not provide all the details needed to fix the error. This is one of the day-to-day issues with CyberArk."

"My impression of their technical support team is that it is very bad. The support team's response time is quick, however, the resolution process takes too long."

"There are some options in the web portal where they can improve the user experience. For example, in remote, there is a parameter called 'access to remote machine.' When we put host names in that field, we are not able to search it. It"

"There was a situation when one of our presidents had an issue, but I can't recall the specifics."

"We found a lot of errors during the initial setup. They should work to improve the implementation experience and to remove errors from the process."

More CyberArk Privileged Access Manager cons

"It should support more customizations. In SailPoint, we can do many customizations, but we are not able to do that in Saviynt."

"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."

"The solution does not work very well as the number of users increases."

"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."

"Compared to other vendors, Saviynt's Privileged Access Management feature is not complete."

"The configuration process at the beginning can be difficult, depending on the complexity of the company."

"The solution is hosted on AWS cloud, and there is some dependency that affects our bottom line."

"On a scale from one to ten (where one is the worst and ten is the best), I would rate my experience with Saviynt so far as maybe only a four-out-of-ten."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"The SaaS version of CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault is very expensive, but the on-premises version is relative, e.g. depending on the size of the environment, it can be a bit pricey, but it's relatively okay compared to the others."

"CyberArk is very expensive and there are additional fees for add-ons."

"Its price can be reduced."

"Pricing is a problem. CyberArk is expensive compared to other products I know. It is similar to buying a German car. It comes with all the bells and whistles, but some companies may find it too expensive."

"I would rate the cost of CyberArk Privileged Access Manager seven out of ten with ten being the most expensive."

"I hope to learn how the pricing works so that I can understand it better, but I am certain it is not inexpensive."

"It can be an expensive product."

More CyberArk Privileged Access Manager pricing and cost advice

"If you need to make any changes then there are additional fees."

"The pricing is comparable to Azure Entra ID. Kind of the same"

"If you are investing in securing your data and avoiding any non-compliance issues, then yes, it is certainly recommended. To put it plainly, if you're willing to pay fines and aren't concerned about the misuse of data, then there might not be a problem. However, if you intend to safeguard the data of your employees, vendors, and customers, it becomes crucial. In this context, managing data security requires preventive and detective measures, such as enforcing segregation of duties and regularly reviewing permissions. Throughout an individual's life cycle within an organization or customer life cycle, various access permissions are granted. Without taking action on these permissions, there is a risk of exposure later on. If individuals retain access after leaving the organization, it poses a serious security threat. Implementing solutions like Saviynt can address these challenges, ensuring continuous access review, generating reports, alerts, and identifying potential risks."

"The product is less expensive than one of the competitors."

"We are not into the licensing part. The clients take care of the licensing part."

"Saviynt's pricing is reasonable."

"The solution has a pay-as-you-go licensing model, and you can subscribe monthly or yearly."

"Saviynt has a competitive price."
